[Mailman-Users] mass subscribe and specify password

[Jon Carnes]

This is not a standard feature of Mailman so it's not possible yet.

If you could convince the Sysadmin to load a patch to Mailman then you
could use a patched "add_user" function and do this.  You can find the
patch by searching the archives of the list.
