Mlmmj doesn't have any functionality like this at the moment. I'm not
sure it's very likely to be added, either, because email is so easily
forged. Your mail server would effectively become an open relay for a
spammer if they could simply forge an email from an administrator to
subscribe a huge number of people to a mailing list and then send a
message to it for delivery.
Is there a particular reason you want or need to do this by email?
Perhaps if you explain your problem to us in more detail we could
suggest an alternative solution. Using the commandline or a web
interface behind some kind of authentication are strong possibilities.
Cheers,
Ben.
