The list server does send an acknowledgement message if you follow the procedure [1]. Maybe you have sent your subscription message to the list address, in which case I might have been kind enough to subscribe you myself (but didn't send a confirmation).

I don't know about your mail software, but it should provide two ways to reply to a post: one to the author (called 'reply' in my case) and one to the list (called 'followup'). Setting a reply-to field would make both functionalities do the same, and one would have to edit the To header by hand in order to reply privately. Max.
