In theory, a quick and dirty way to do this is set up a new pop account called
[EMAIL PROTECTED] host. Then you can CFSCHEDULE job to run every 3-4 hours, read mail from that mailbox (CFPOP ), and unsubscribe the sender, sending them a confirm message. I've done something similar where I need to snarf payment confirmations from CyberCash where all I can do is have them cc me a receipt via email.

Hi, all... CF 4.5.2...Windows 2000 Pro I've been running all my mail functions using CFMAIL tags and using IIS's built-in SMTP for sending mass mailings and that's worked fine. Now, I'm beginning to have a desire and need to have users be able to unsubscribe themselves automatically from mailing lists. (After sending an auto-reply requiring the user to click a link to unsubscribe to prevent malicious users from unsubscribing someone without their knowledge or consent) Is there a way to do this from with CF and SQL or do I need an email server, such as CoolFusion's FusionMail to handle this type of functionality? Thanks for the advice... Rick -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
