Trying to read between the lines, I'm guessing that the reason you 
want to turn this off is that you want subscribers to have to go 
through the web form. Am I guessing correctly?

If that is correct, you might want to take a look at Maestro. Maestro 
lets you build lists that are unknown to LISTSERV (and therefore not 
subject to email commands sent to LISTSERV), but only kept within 
Maestro, and Maestro provides its own subscriber web forms. The web 
forms are customizable, so you can get them to blend seamlessly with 
your web site. If you want, you can actually mix LISTSERV lists and 
Maestro "HRLs" (Hosted Recipient Lists) and have both types 
accessible from the subscriber web form.

There is only one LISTSERV(R) -- the product that launched the 
email list communication industry in 1986. To discover the
