The email of the prospective subscriber must include the subscribe command and the mailing list name (for example, subscribe <mailing list name>).
The default subscribe command is subscribe. However, you can change this on the tab of the mailing list > 
Subscriptions agent > Subscription tab in the Command for subscriptions by email field.
You can also insert a placeholder for the subscribe command and ensure that the command currently set in the Change command for subscriptions by email field on the tab of the mailing list > Subscriptions agent > Subscription tab is always used.
