It's difficult to answer without knowing how you do subscribes, but if
you do them by email commands, you can send a message to
LISTNAME-request at example.com with the command

subscribe [password] [digest|nodigest] [address=<address>]

  Subscribe to this mailing list.  Your password must be given to
  unsubscribe or change your options, but if you omit the password, one
  will be generated for you.  You may be periodically reminded of your
  password.

  The next argument may be either: `nodigest' or `digest' (no quotes!).
  If you wish to subscribe an address other than the address you sent
  this request from, you may specify `address=<address>' (no brackets
  around the email address, and no quotes!)

And, there are various web ways to do it. See
<https://wiki.list.org/x/4030648>.

If this isn't what you're looking for, blease be more specific as to how
you want to do this.
