the ezmlm-idx FAQ implies that this is possible and straightforward:

    FAQ>     15.2 Setting up ezmlm to respond to host-centric
    FAQ> commands.

    FAQ> The ezdomo.tar.gz file included in the ezmlm-idx>=0.31
    FAQ> distribution contains the basic files needed to set up ezmlm
    FAQ> to respond to host-centric command syntax. See the following
    FAQ> section for the format and utilization of such syntax for the
    FAQ> major non-ezmlm mailing list managers available today. This
    FAQ> section will set up majordomo@host as the example. The setup
    FAQ> for other command addresses, such as listproc or listserv are
    FAQ> the same, except the contents of DIR/inlocal and DIR/outlocal
    FAQ> need to be changed appropriately.

    FAQ> The ezmlm-idx>=0.31 distribution also contains a script,
    FAQ> ezmlm-glmake(1) that will set up the global interface for
    FAQ> you. It works in a manner similar to ezmlm-make(1) and will
    FAQ> in ezmlm-idx-0.32 be replaced with a special ezmlm-make(1)
    FAQ> config file. See the description below for details on what
    FAQ> ezmlm-glmake(1) does, or if you prefer to set this up
    FAQ> manually.

    FAQ> [ detailed instructions omitted ]

    FAQ> 15.3 Commands of other mailinglist managers recognized by
    FAQ> ezmlm.

    FAQ> Listproc/Listserv.

    FAQ> When set up as above, substituting ``listproc'' or
    FAQ> ``listserv'' for ``majordomo'' as appropriate, ezmlm will
    FAQ> recognize and respond to the following commands placed in the
    FAQ> body of the e-mail with the syntax below. Note: ezmlm will
    FAQ> only respond to one command per message.

    FAQ> syntax: command listname [subscribe@host]

    FAQ> Supported commands
    
    FAQ>     subscribe, sub, unsubscribe, unsub, list, help, review.
    FAQ> Additional supported commands
    
    FAQ>     All ezmlm commands, such as ``thread'', ``index'' and
    FAQ> ``get'' as well as the list owner's commands.

    FAQ> This interfaced makes information available via command
    FAQ> messages to the appropriate mailing list. Thus, ``list'' and
    FAQ> ``review'' will send a subscriber list only to remote
    FAQ> administrators and only if specifically allowed by the list
    FAQ> owner.
