For a read-only announcement list, I'm looking for a way to set up "one-click subscription" where a user enters an email in a form on a web page and gets subscribed right away, with no confirmation needed.
Note that you're going to open yorself up to the problem of people being gratuitously subscribed to your list. That's why we have double opt-in.
There's a disturbing trend these days of people reporting mailing lists as spam to their providers instead of unsubscribing. This can get you blacklisted. It happens enough with lists that people actually voluntarily subscribed to, it's going to be a lot worse if you get people being randomly subscribed without their consent.
