Not exactly what I was hoping for unfortunately. My user creation scripts are Powershell running in a Windows environment. I was hoping to fire off an email to Mailman to subscribe the new user to the appropriate campus announcement list. Maybe I'll get a bit creative and have the Powershell scripts create files to SCP over to the Mailman box and then use "add_members" via a cron job.
Thanks.

Have you checked into $LOCALBASE/mailman/bin/add_members? You could probably wrap a script around it easily enough. usage: /usr/local/mailman/bin/add_members Add members to a list from the command line. Usage: add_members [options] listname Options: --regular-members-file=file -r file A file containing addresses of the members to be added, one address per line. This list of people become non-digest members. If file is `-', read addresses from stdin. Note that -n/--non-digest-members-file are deprecated synonyms for this option. --digest-members-file=file -d file Similar to above, but these people become digest members. --welcome-msg=<y|n> -w <y|n> Set whether or not to send the list members a welcome message, overriding whatever the list's `send_welcome_msg' setting is. --admin-notify=<y|n> -a <y|n> Set whether or not to send the list administrators a notification on the success/failure of these subscriptions, overriding whatever the list's `admin_notify_mchanges' setting is. --help -h Print this help message and exit. listname The name of the Mailman list you are adding members to. It must already exist. You must supply at least one of -r and -d options. At most one of the files can be `-'.
