    ZS> confirmation if a user tries to subscribe to the mailing list.

    ZS> I have worked in the past with a mail list program, where
    ZS> emails with a [password] in the subject area, would be
    ZS> verified and if correct (pas for admin) then this email is

    ZS> registered without requiring confirmation email.

    ZS> Any ideas?

I'd do this by adding a little Python script that calls
ApprovedAddMember directly.  You could probably do this as a little
bin/withlist script.
