        To set your list so that all subscriptions are confirmed, set
your header options to read Subscription= Open,Confirm (it's the Confirm
part that's crucial).  To prevent non-subscribers from posting, set
your header options to read Send= Private .  And to ban specific domains
or people, use the Filter option.  Put a line in your header that says
Filter= Also,*@domain,user@otherdomain .
