From the Owner realease notes for 1.8c...

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.
