I would like to manage mailing list subscriptions through my own Web 
scripts.  Unfortunately, I don't have shell access to the server that 
Mailman resides on.  So, I must use either "wget" statements or email 
commands to administer subscriptions.

My current problem is figuring out how to allow an admin to subscribe a 
user's email *without requiring the user to confirm* the subscription.  
Is there any way to do this with admin email commands or web scripts?

The unsubscribe feature works using the following wget command:

http://[domain.name]/mailman/options/[listname]/[user_email_address]?unsub=1&unsubconfirm=1&password=[admin_password]

That command will unsubscribe the user without a confirmation request.  
Does something comparable exist for subscriptions?
