I'm not an expert on this and I could easily be wrong, but I
don't think so. If you don't have a custom MAILFORM for your
list, the default letter is sent.
You could, of course, make the custom MAILFORM send a very short
message instead of the default.
For our lists, I think it is fine for subscribers to get two
letters. One is the "subscription acknowledgement" from the
LISTSERV *computer program*, the other is the welcome from the
*people* who organize the list. I think this helps subscribers
learn that LISTSERV commands are processed by a program that
cannot understand natural language.
