One way is to use the email interface.
A form on your web page needs to point at a small CGI or equivalent, that
sends email to the list request address, apparently originating
from the requestor we'll call "[EMAIL PROTECTED]":
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: subscribe
( a blank line )
in the headers. This can be accomplished in the CGI if it constructs
such an email and passes it to, for example, "sendmail -t".
Sendmail (or in my case, Postfix) may have to be configured to consider
the webserver user as a trusted user.
For an example of such a form, see
http://www.linuxjournal.com, where you may initiate a subscription to
either or both of two lists, one under mailman, one under majordomo,
from the small form at the top of the right-hand column.
