Say there was a list called L-Nittany here, then:

http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?LCMD1=confirm+l-nittany

Of course you need a previous LISTSERV password and most likely a cookie
in your browser, but that is pretty much a one-time effort (though
cookies do expire).

Other servers may have different file structures where WA "lives"
