Assuming that these accounts are already subscribed and that you want to turn off subscription renewal, SET userid@host NORENEW is the command you want. It isn't clear from your question whether you're talking about new subscriptions or existing subscriptions for which you want to turn off renewal. If you are talking about new subs, the only way to bypass the new sub confirmation is for the list owner to add the user manually. It's probably a good idea to go through the list occasionally and see what subscriptions are obviously for redistribution accounts and make sure that they are set to NORENEW.
