Pilar: The subscribe_policy variable in the config file for your list must
have the "+confirm" suffix, which causes Majordomo to sending you a message
to confirm you really want to subscribe. The idea is to prevent people
from maliciously signing *others* onto a list by getting a confirmation
message back from the intended recipient.
It's not a bug, it's a feature; you can change it by editing your config
file.

p.s. Here's what you should look for and change in the config file:
# subscribe_policy [enum] (open) <majordomo> /open;closed;auto;op
# One of three values: open, closed, auto; plus an optional
# modifier: '+confirm'. Open allows people to subscribe themselves
# to the list. Auto allows anybody to subscribe anybody to the list
# without maintainer approval. Closed requires maintainer approval
# for all subscribe requests to the list. Adding '+confirm', ie,
# 'open+confirm', will cause majordomo to send a reply back to the
# subscriber which includes a authentication number which must be
# sent back in with another subscribe command.
subscribe_policy = closed
