See the "subject_prefix" section of the list.config file.  Assuming the
list name is "mylist", the following will do the trick:

subject_prefix      =   [$LIST]

Whatever you place on the right-hand side will be used as the subject
prefix.  In the example above the $LIST token will cause the list name to
be inserted between the brackets.  However it will be lower case.  If you
want it to be in upper case, which stands out better, don't use the token.
Specify the list name explicitly, like this:

subject_prefix      =   [MYLIST]
