Dear Santiago and Peter, thank you for your very nice replies. So now I know I understood right in the beginning the X-Command: , but unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem with subscriptions ...
While sending mesaage to testing-request@ with
Subject: subscribe
and empty mesage body I get back:

What shall I do?

I'm trying out to figure what is the syntax for unsubscription. I looks if I use the code from http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/SmartList-FAQ.html#Section_3.2 that users have to say:
Subject: X-Command: unsubscribe , right?
It also applies to the message body, right?
Perhaps you are a little bit confused, X-Command: is for the list admins. Users would subscribe or unsubscribe the usual way.
BTW, if you use rc.local.r00 to use X-Command in the body, it just mean you can write:
yes, I put it already into, but as you see I did not get the sed stuff. ;(
