Yes, I didn't try that.

Quoting myself from another thread:

you can do a lot by posting with wget. See
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-December/041216.html
and perhaps other posts in that thread or found by

I don't think there's anything you can do about this short of hacking
the code. You could send a separate message to the -join address with
empty subject and message body but even that will still produce the
"results" reply although it may be more acceptable.
