Yes. It's not really documented, but you could easily set up your own
form which just sends the same variables to the Mailman subscribe
page.
For example, go to
http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/macos-x-server and look at the
page source. The relevant bits are probably:
<FORM Method=POST
ACTION="http://lists.apple.com/mailman/subscribe/macos-x-server";>
<INPUT type="Text" name="email" size="30" value="">
<INPUT type="Text" name="fullname" size="30" value="">
<INPUT type="Password" name="pw" size="15">
<INPUT type="Password" name="pw-conf" size="15">
<input type=radio name="digest" value="0" CHECKED> No
<input type=radio name="digest" value="1"> Yes
<INPUT type="Submit" name="email-button" value="Subscribe">
</FORM>
I don't know if Mailman stops you from submitting that from a
non-mailman URL, however - it probably should if it doesn't.
The downside is that you'd get a less useful stock Mailman
confirmation page at the end and generally have less control over the
flow of user interaction. It wouldn't work for what I needed to do :o)
