That is no different from posting via the Membership Management... ->
Mass Subscription/Mass Removal pages in the list's web admin interface.
Why not just do that in this case?

If you could provide the Mailman error log entry related to this, we
could probably determine what the issue is, but since you apparently
don't have access, you probably can't do that.

We might be able to say something if you posted the exact wget command
(or http GET request) you used.

Is there some reason you can't use the web admin Mass Subscribe/Mass
Remove pages for this?
