There are a couple of options on how to add new members to a MailMan mailing list. The options are listed below.
Plesk control panel
1 – Log in to your Plesk control panel.
2 – Go to the preferences for the domain the list is under by clicking the domain from the list found at the bottom of the initial Plesk screen after you login.
3 – Click on the ‘Mail’ icon found in the ‘Services’ section of the preferences.
4 – Click on the ‘Mailing lists’ tab.
5 – Click on the list you wish to add a subscriber to. You may have 1 or many lists setup.
6 – Click on ‘Add new member’.
7 – Enter the e-mail address of the member you wish to add, then click ‘OK’.
You can continue to add as many addresses as you need.
When adding a new address through the Plesk control panel, the address is not required to approve the addition to the list.
MailMan control panel (add single or multiple members at one time)
1 – Log in to your Plesk control panel.
2 – Go to the preferences for the domain the list is under by clicking the domain from the list found at the bottom of the initial Plesk screen after you login.
3 – Click on the ‘Mail’ icon found in the ‘Services’ section of the preferences.
4 – Click on the ‘Mailing lists’ tab.
5 – Click the icon with the ‘gear’ found in the right hand column of the line for the mailist you wish to add a member to.
6 – Click on ‘Membership Management’.
7 – Click on ‘Mass Subscription’.
8 – Add the member or list of members (one address per line) in the Mass Subscription field. You have other options you can select on how you would like the new members added. You are free to choose whatever options best suit your needs. If you have an ASCII text file with all the users, you can upload the file and have the members entered from the file.
Alternatively, you can access the MailMan control panel directly at:
https://lists.YOURDOMAIN.com/mailman/admin/YOURLISTNAME
You can also point your clients to this webpage for management of their membership, including subscribing to the list:
https://lists.YOURDOMAINNAME.com/mailman/listinfo/YOURLISTNAME
This page can be customized to match the look and feel of your website through the MailMan control panel then clicking on the ‘Edit the public HTML pages’ link.

Email administration
This is a good technique to use if you would like for new members to subscribe from a web page, but it can be used in any manner you like.
1 – Send a message to the request address of the list with the following format:
To: MAILINGLISTNAME-request@YOURDOMAIN.com
Body: subscribe [password] [digest|nodigest] [address=address]
– Subscribe to this mailing list. This is the only command that is required to subscribe a new member to the list.
– Your password must be given to unsubscribe or change your options, but if you omit the password, one will be generated for you.
– The next argument may be either: `nodigest’ or `digest’ (no quotes!). A digest will send a single message daily. If you are running and announce only list with a single message every couple of days, the digest doesn’t offer any advantages.
– 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!)
All subscribe commands sent via e-mail will send a confirmation to the address being added to the list. Once the confirmation message has been replied to (instructions are included in the message) the new list memeber will be subscribed to the list.
