If majordomo is set up and working properly, you should be able to add 
the user by simply sending an email to majordomo at yourhost.tld, with 
email text like:

    subscribe members user at hostname.com
    end

This way, the user will get emailed any intro/welcome message, as well 
as being added to the list. Hacking the list file manually isn't the 
best way to go about it.

Note that the list configuration might be set to require a confirmation 
by the user, so it might send him/her an email asking for a reply in 
order to complete the subscription.
