If your site has the management Web pages set up and you know where
they are, you can use them whether or not your list has archives on
the Web.  If your postmaster means that the Web interface is not set
up at your site, and will not be set up because none of the lists on
your site needs Web archives, then that's their decision.  (As a
hard-working Listserv postmaster with various other duties I can
sympathize with that decision!  But in our case when we finally did
find time to install the Web interface we found it made things easier
for us as well as for our list owners.)

The subscribe form is there whether you have archives or not.  Finding
it is a bit tricky because there is no link to it.  Look at the
subscribe page for a list that has archives and substitute the list
name.  Again this assumes the Web interface is there.  At our site the
URLS look like http://list.msu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=listname&A=1
