If a list owner has created a custom welcome message, is there a way to prevent LISTSERV from sending the standard notification when a new subscriber joins the list? I see there is a .QQ command to cancel messages in the default.mailtpl template. Will this do it? If so, where must the .QQ be placed in the template file so the default welcome message is suppressed? I've never dealt with editing template files before and it is all somewhat confusing to me.
