Each new member must submit a short profile and mail subscription request.
The Administrators who handle the subscriptions don't sign anyone up until
those are received.  You possibly could subscribe someone else to the mail
list but whatever email address you use would get the "Welcome" email that
goes out immediately upon subscription.  Would you like to see a copy of
it?
