This seems like it should be simple but the answer seems to be eluding me. I want to put a signup page for a mailman mailing list on our website. It seems like it should be as simple as building a one field form with a submit button. The part that eludes me is how to get the form results into mailman for processing. Is there an easy answer for the simple minded?

There is, indeed, a simple answer.

Each mailing list has a default webpage that users normally use to signup and to manage their list subscription. It is in the format of http://mail.example.com/mailman/listinfo/listname_example.com
((obviously replace example.com with your domain)

You can either look at the source code of the signup page, and steal what you need from there (namely the signup form contents), or you can log into the Mailman Admin page, and there is a way to alter the HTML so you can dress up the page and make it look more like one of your own (add logo, change colors, etc.)

Probably the easiest is to just steal the code. Here's an example... http://www.jenlevinson.com/ (look toward the bottom of the page for the signup form). Another example is at http://www.hiqantennas.com/mailing-list.html (this is a direct link to a framed page, so you won't see the logo, etc)
