Ken, Steve, If you are worried about getting denied/filtered for the words subscribe, join, or leave, then you could just add an alias in the alias file to point to the same process as the one you want but with a modified email addy.
Currently its something like this; listname-subscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe listname" Change it to; listname-anything_you_like_here: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe listname" That I think would still work and not get cuahgt by any filter unless they adjust it just to catch you.
