You need to use a php or CGI script on your web site to post a mass
subscribe transaction to the list's admin interface. See some of the
hits from
<http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org+inurl%3Amailman+wget+subscribe>
for more information.

The 'owner' and 'moderator' addresses are the addresses to which
Mailman sends certain notices and other mail. Otherwise, there is
nothing special about these addresses. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.060.htp>.

The email command interface is designed for list members. It is not
intended to ba a facility for administering a list.
