How about an autoreply from majordomo, asking you to confirm your
subscription request?
I'd probably include that, yes -- if responding to a request made by
email, it should go to the reverse-path of the incoming subscription

This would would prevent the autoreplies from being accepted (and
broadcasted) by other mailing lists.
