There is another way to do (for those that can't patch mailman)
It is to ignore  the mailman user interface and to use the commands by mail in your own interface: here an example in php
mail($to, "subscribe xxx nodigest address=".$email, "", $from);
mail($to, "unsubscribe xxx ".$email, "", $from);
and to configure the list in order only the administrator can post (described in another message)
It works, it is not using the software in a other manner, it is using a part of the soft :-)

Subject: [Mailman-Users] Read-Only Mailing Lists

Hi all,
 
I am new to Mailman and have searched the archives without finding a solution to my problem but could not find an answer. I would like to create a list where only the admin has permission to post (e.g. an announcements list).
 
I could find no way to do this but this is OK if there is a way to customize the welcome and help messages. I already customized the List-specific text prepended to new-subscriber welcome message but this only adds the message to the beginning of the pre-written message. I could not find any folders related to the list software in my site's files but can I modify the entire welcome message for each of my lists?
 
Thanks!
Benjamin
