Isn't this a solution that does not bypass the ezmlm > closed loop? It is. But that's exactly what we normally recommend, and what the OP said he does *not* want to do -- he said he wants his CGI script to invoke ezmlm-sub directly (like the list admin doing it manually), bypassing all of the subscription control mechanisms. And that's not a good idea.
