My apologies. I wasn't clear. I haven't used mailman in some time. The lists I manage these days are all hosted on groups.io. It has a great web interface and subscriptions are basically self-service. I don't have to keep up with the server management like I did hosting mailman. I know there are a lot of features in mailman, and I used to have some lists that were fully moderated, but that got to be a lot of work as the list got busy. I don't know if the current versions of mailman have an initial moderation option for new subscribers or not. That would probably be a question for the mailman support forum.
