You would make a listname.MAILTPL file for your list and disable the
SIGNUP1 template.
 
>>> SIGNUP1
.qq
 
is all you would need.  However, I think I'd migrate the welcome
file into the $SIGNUP template instead, rather than disabling that
template.  There's a lot of good information in it that probably
ought to go to the new subscriber.  You could tack your welcome
message on top of the "canned" text.
 
See Chapter 9 of the List Owner's Manual for more info.
