No, there is no way to default delivery to 'off'.

Actually, I think it might work, but only if the list allows fully open
(no confirmation/no approval) subscribes because in order to set
delivery off, you have to be a member and authenticate, so you might do

  To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Subject:

  subscribe <password>
  set authenticate <password>
  set delivery off

but if the subscribe is waiting confirmation or approval, the set
commands will fail. Also, you have to provide the password for the
subscribe so you know what it is for the set authenticate.
