To create a customized welcome message in Mailman 2.1.5 that's sent to users when they subscribe, follow these steps:
Create a directory mailman/data/lists/yourlist/en (for English language) and copy subscribeack.txt from /usr/local/mailman/templates into that directory. Customize it to whatever you like. Mailman will use this custom template for the welcome message.
Schweet. This is particularly handy for distribution-only lists where the "To post to this list..." instructions in the welcome message are confusing since regular subscribers would get rejected were they to follow those instructions.
