According to documentation, in order to customize the contents of the subscription confirmation email that gets send out when a user subscribes to a Mailman mailing list, you need to edit a file called verify.txt. This file is supposed to be in /var/lib/mailman/lists/[name-of-mailing-list]/en.

When I look in that directory, I only have two files, listinfo.html and subscribeack.txt. There is no verify.txt already there.

Am I looking in the right place?

If I make a new verify.txt file in that directory, will that automatically be picked up and used by Mailman? Would I need to change any other configurations?

Are you using Ubuntu? If so, look under /etc/mailman/en/ directory. The verify.txt under /etc/mailman/en/ is a general one for all lists, and I think you can copy it to your list-specific directory. (I wish I can just use comment function to ask about your OS, but I cannot according to my status.)
