Slight tweak:

mlmmj-sub -L dir -f -q -s -a $ADDR

I would recommend making a script that calls mlmmj-sub rather than
manipulating the files manually. It probably won't break delivery, but
it probably would break unsubscription/bounce-processing/etc. if they're
not in the right file.

Also check out the contrib directory in the distribution for existing
web interfaces; I believe one or two of them allow you to bulk-subscribe
users. Not sure this is quite what you want, but it's another option.
