Thank you Olivier

I realised after posting that INVITE was probably what I was looking for. I am
left with a couple of problems though.

I disabled ADD other than for the listmaster with this:

is_listmaster([sender])       smtp -> request_auth
is_listmaster([sender])       md5,smime -> do_it
is_owner([listname],[sender]) smtp,md5,smime -> reject

Subscribe is set to auth_owner. I invite a user, they accept and then 
the owner
recieves a request to authorise this. The owner responds, to be told:

  "You are not allowed to perform command add in list ctla"

The other less critical issue I have is that there doesn't appear to be 
a way of
inviting via the web interface.
