David, I don't know who you could talk to about this... the lists 
you're trying to subscribe to are *not* closed.  The only thing I did 
differently in subscribing to these myself is sent seperate 
messages for each list I wanted to join, rather than bundling them 
all into one message with 'end' at the end.  Perhaps this would 
work for you, too?  When the authentication message arrives, you 
just cut and paste the auth code into another message to 
Majordomo, and you're on the list.

Hope this helps,
-Charles
