If you're using 2.1 you should copy the template file from
~mailman/templates/<LANG> to ~mailman/lists/<LISTNAME>/<LANG>

Then edit subscribeack.txt to remove the reference to posting.

If you're using 2.0 you can't do this without patching mailman to look in
the list dirs for templates.  I did this fairly easily using some
suggestions I found in the list archives.  But moving to 2.1 is much easier
and has many other benefits, so that'd be the ideal solution.
