I don't thinks so, as you need at least the mail address you subscribed
with for a direct link. And mailman does not send out personalized mails.

As to why there are so many people, I can only take a wild guess:
Someone is trying to subscribe people for which reason whatsoever (maybe
he thinks he can get a payload - spam - through).

People then get the confirmation mail and reply to that immediately
instead of reading through it completely (don't do anything and you
won't be subscribed) - or click one of the links. Et voilà, you're
subscribed.

I have no idea what one could do against that, except *moderate* each
and every subscription request. And I frankly don't have the time for that.

I wonder why that happened to the mirror list - there's an astonishing
number of people subscribed on there.
