If you have them send their mail to:
list-name-digest-request@yourdomain.org (or whatever)
they will subscribe directly to the list. For example, I have a military literature discussion list here at the Academy. I have two different config files - one is military-lit-digest.config and one is military-lit.config. Duplicate files for everything, with just the -digest added. Has its own directory under digests, etc. That way, users can subscribe to this list by sending mail to:
military-lit-request@usafa.af.mil
or to the digest by sending mail to
military-lit-digest-request@usafa.af.mil
or to either one by sending mail to majordomo@usafa.af.mil
with
subscribe military-lit-digest doejj.dfeng@usafa.af.mil
Hope that helps!
