Hi Bill,
While I cannot provide insight on how to do this, I wonder why you would
want to bypass the confirmation in the first place. The problem with
bypassing that is that I can then subscribe several people to your list
without confirming they are the ones who in-fact wanted to be
subscribed. I could do this just to annoy people who I dislike.
The purpose of the confirmation is to ensure that this doesn't happen.
I don't think bypassing it is a very good idea.

Hi,
When a user subscribes or unsubscribes from a mailing list, they are
sent an email confirmation and must click a link on the web interface or
reply to the email to confirm their subscription/removal. One of our
engineers is creating a portlet on a web application, and what he wants
to do is allow the user to be immediately subscribed as soon as they
click a link. Is there a way to configure Mailman so that a user is
immediately subscribed or removed without the confirmation process?
Alternatively, if we were to write some custom code on our application,
could we simply call the subscribe cgi script, and then send the
confirmation request from the application without asking the user for
further input?
Please let me know if this is a sound approach.
Thanks,
Bill
