Bug Description
I'm not sure of the exact circumstances (maybe
personalization needs to be on), bu t i fyou "invite"
people to join a mailing list, or, presumably, if
someone sends a message to list-join, and there is an
autoresponder at that address, the address is
subscribed to the list without the subscriber being
aware of it.

Please note that RFC 3834 says: "Automatic responses SHOULD NOT be issued in response to any message which contains an Auto-Submitted header field (see below), where that field has any value other than "no"." I think that system messages from Mailman are in scope of this header semantics (with the value "auto-generated") and we would solve the problem if we implement this. Do you agree? I would gladly implement it.
