I can't recommend the man pages and the documentation on Greatcircle enough for someone who is just starting as a list admin....
From the man page - using emails to majordomo of course - substitute your list and password. Be very careful that your email client does not wrap the lines. Find the section "subscribe_policy" once you have received the config file. It is well documented:
config list password
retrieve a self-documenting configuration file for the list
<list>. The password can be the password contained in the
file <listname>.passwd or the admin_password in the confi-
guration file.
newconfig list password
Validates and installs a new configuration file. The config
file includes everything up to the string EOF or to the end
of the mail message, whichever comes first. The config file
is expected to be a complete config file as returned by the
"config" command. Incremental changing of the config file
is not yet supported. As soon as the config file is vali-
dated and installed its settings are available for use. This
is useful to remember if you have multiple commands in your
mail message since they will be subject to the settings of
the new config file. If there is an error in the config
file (incorrect value...), the config file will not be
accepted and the error message identifying the problem
line(s) will be returned to the sender. Note that only the
errors are returned to the sender not the entire config
file.
writeconfig list password
Write a new config in standard form. All of the config file
documentation is optional. Only the keywords and values are
necessary. If a config file, stripped of all comments is
installed using newconfig, that is what is returned by con-
fig. Writeconfig forces a rewrite of the config file with
all comments and default values in place. It is useful to
use after an upgrade of majordomo since it will add the new
keywords for people to change. It also updates the documen-
tation in the file if that has changed.
