I can't recommend the man pages and the documentation on Greatcircle enough for someone who is just starting as a list admin....

From the man page - using emails to majordomo of course - substitute your list and password.  Be very careful that your email client does not wrap the lines.  Find the section "subscribe_policy" once you have received the config file. It is well documented:

     config list password

     retrieve a self-documenting configuration file for the  list
     <list>.   The  password can be the password contained in the
     file <listname>.passwd or the admin_password in  the  confi-
     guration file.

     newconfig list password

     Validates and installs a new configuration file. The  config
     file  includes everything up to the string EOF or to the end
     of the mail message, whichever comes first. The config  file
     is  expected to be a complete config file as returned by the
     "config" command.  Incremental changing of the  config  file
     is  not  yet supported.  As soon as the config file is vali-
     dated and installed its settings are available for use. This
     is  useful to remember if you have multiple commands in your
     mail message since they will be subject to the  settings  of
     the  new  config  file.   If there is an error in the config
     file (incorrect value...),  the  config  file  will  not  be
     accepted  and  the  error  message  identifying  the problem
     line(s) will be returned to the sender. Note that  only  the
     errors  are  returned  to  the  sender not the entire config
     file.
     writeconfig list password

     Write a new config in standard form. All of the config  file
     documentation  is optional. Only the keywords and values are
     necessary. If a config file, stripped  of  all  comments  is
     installed  using newconfig, that is what is returned by con-
     fig.  Writeconfig forces a rewrite of the config  file  with
     all  comments  and  default values in place. It is useful to
     use after an upgrade of majordomo since it will add the  new
     keywords  for people to change. It also updates the documen-
     tation in the file if that has changed.
