Thanks, found it. And now I know the reason why I checked it. First time 
ever I set the language to German and when going thru the list options I 
found 
new_member_options "Mails des Nutzers immer freigeben und verteilen"
which means "always allow and distribute member's mails" and not 
"Acknowledge the member's posting". But I think even the English phrasing 
is somewhat ambiguous: "Acknowledge the member's posting" could mean 
automatic allowance of the member's mails. That's obviously also what the 
translator had in mind.

I suggest changing to:
English: Send confirmation (*) for each posting to the member
German: Für jedes Posting eine Bestätigung an das Mitglied schicken

(*) instead of acknowledgement

Shall I open a bug for that?

The descriptions on the member list page are much better:
ack -- Does the member get acknowledgements of their posts?
Bestätigung -- Bekommt dieses Mitglied Bestätigungen für seine Sendungen 
an die Liste?
