I think by default new users, get emails of categories they watch unless they 
turn them off.

 

You could, setup a group for your mailing list, and invite everyone that was on 
your mailman to join that group so as soon as they register/login for first time

, they are automatically added to the group.

 

In the group admin settings, you can set this as default for new users of the 
group:

So by setting the group, to watch the category (your mailing list), you 
essentially force a mailing list behavior.

I think I mentioned before, but just in case, when you set up a category, you 
can set it to allow anyone with an account or only allow people in a group to 
be able to 

Post topics and reply to topics.  So that would emulate the current mailman 
behavior of only mailing list members can post to a mailing list.

I think the only real lists we have are the QGIS-fr-user, General, OSGeo Site 
Feedback, and OSGeoLive-docs

 

The rest are mailman mirrors only so regular users wouldn't be able to post to 
them.
