I understand the necessity for giving subscribers a password, but I'm worried that dealing with a configuration page might scare some of the less computer/internet literate off from using the list. Could I create a subscriber user interface that could be used for confirmation of the Mailman list that is simple (i.e. with out configuration features)? I'm just creating a Announcement mailing list -- subscribers don't need to communicate with each other.
I'd look at hacking the 'Welcome to the "foobar" list' e-mail. If you don't show them the configuration page, they won't go there. I've not dealt with that file, but as it's in templates it should be easy. You will find the original in <prefix>/mailman/templates/en/subscribeack.txt . Copy that to the en directory (you many have to create it) of the list ( <prefix>/mailman/lists/<LISTNAME>/en) and modify as needed. Restart mailman, and away you go.
