Thanks for your reply. As an experiment, I tried doing just as you said.
I created a file named addtopics.py in the /lists/Mailman directory.
From the command line, I issued the command: ./withlist -l -r addtopic
testlist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Licensing
The result follow:
Importing addtopic...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./withlist", line 275, in ?
main()
File "./withlist", line 247, in main
mod = __import__(module)
ImportError: No module named addtopic
What have I missed?

Is there a way, other than using the subscriber user page to subsribe

how to do this in batch via one of the provided MM utilities or other
methods?
You can do this sort of thing with bin/withlist, taking advantage of
the documentation that is embedded in Mailman/MemberAdaptor.py.
Create a file called addtopic.py:
from Mailman.Errors import NotAMemberError
from Mailman import mm_cfg
import sys
def addtopic(m, addr, topic):
try:
if topic not in [x[0] for x in m.topics]:
print topic, "is not a valid topic for list"
sys.exit(2)
topic_list = m.getMemberTopics(addr)
# add the topic for this member if not already subscribed
if topic not in topic_list:
m.setMemberTopics(addr, topic_list + [topic])
# set subscriber to not receive non-topical posts
m.setMemberOption(addr, mm_cfg.ReceiveNonmatchingTopics,
mm_cfg.No)
m.Save()
except NotAMemberError:
print 'No address matched:', addr
Then to have a user on "mylist" watch the "pickles" topic:
$ bin/withlist -l -r addtopic mylist [EMAIL PROTECTED] pickles
bin/withlist gives you the full power of Python to play with, so you
could replace 'topic' with a variable number of arguments (so you
could subscribe the user to multiple topics at once), or replace their
topics instead of appending to them, or loop through a file of users
to set them all in one go (instead of doing the looping at the shell
level), or whatever...
