This message is in the code  and cannot be customized without recompiling
and re-linking everything. This may seem strange since, as far as 1.7f is
concerned, this  feature is used  only for subscribing to  mailing lists.
However, it is  intended to replace (or at least  complement) the current
password scheme and will be used more extensively in future versions. The
code that sends the message cannot  assume it is dealing with a SUBSCRIBE
command and thus  does not use the usual "welcome  message" or "mailform"
mechanisms. Changing that code via  a local modification would affect the
text sent to all users, no matter  the machine they are on, the list they
tried to  subscribe to or, in  future versions, the command  they issued.
What would  best serve your purposes,  an optional user exit  called from
this routine that would  let you return the text of  your choice based on
the sender's address,  or a more typical mailform-based system  on a list
basis?
