Can't you do it with just 'curl' or wget ?

     % curl -F username=me at subscriber.com -F password=xyzzy -O  
http://www.mydomain.com/mailman/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox
or
     % curl -o mylist.mbox  
http://www.mydomain.com/mailman/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox? 
username=me%40subscriber.com&password=xyzzy

should create mylist.mbox in your current directory.
