But it <can> be turned off for the entire server by adding
WEB_BROWSER_CONFIRM=0
into the site configuration file, exporting if unix, and then stopping and
restarting the server.
This was documented in the LISTSERV maintainer's release notes for 1.8c:
4. LISTSERV now requires confirmation (through the "OK" mechanism) when
commands are sent through a WWW browser, even if they apply to a list
whose security level or "Subscription=" keyword does not require
confirmation. This change was made both to avoid abuse and because
many occasional WWW users do not know their e-mail address or enter
it incorrectly, whereas people who use e-mail regularly do of course
have a working e-mail address in their configuration. This change can
be disabled by setting the WEB_BROWSER_CONFIRM option to 0 in your
server configuration.
