Further reading leads me to believe that they are using the "approve" 
option...

Approval ======== 
When Majordomo requests your approval for something, it sends you a message 
that includes a template of the approval message; if you concur, you simply 
need to replace "PASSWORD" in the template with your list password, and 
send the template line back to Majordomo.
...
You can approve any "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" request, regardless of 
whether Majordomo has requested this approval, with an "approve" command. 
Thus, you can subscribe or unsubscribe people from your list without them 
having to send anything to Majordomo; just send an appropriate "approve 
PASSWORD subscribe LIST ADDRESS" or "approve PASSWORD unsubscribe LIST 
ADDRESS" command off to Majordomo. 

...

In addition, the following is from the majordomo config file...

'subscribe_policy', 
"One of three values: open, closed, auto; plus an optional
modifier: '+confirm'.  Open allows people to subscribe themselves to
the list. Auto allows anybody to subscribe anybody to the list without
maintainer approval. Closed requires maintainer approval for all
subscribe requests to the list.  Adding '+confirm', ie,
'open+confirm', will cause majordomo to send a reply back to the
subscriber which includes a authentication number which must be sent
back in with another subscribe command.",

...

Confirmation has been an option for quite some time, so if that is not an 
option, obviously they need to upgrade.
