It's not completely clear to me what you are looking for. Do you 
already have a web service for collecting the subscriber data or are 
you planning on writing it? If the latter, then why not just use 
LISTSERV Maestro which has exactly that? The Web pages for collecting 
the data are created for you automatically by Maestro (you can 
customize them if desired). The collected data is easy to download or 
else access directly (read-only) using SQL.

If you already have a Web service, which web service is it, and how 
does it work? LISTSERV and LISTSERV Maestro can both draw recipient 
data (read-only) from other databases.
