RE: [IMail Forum] This is probably redundant but here goes....

[Dustin Krysak]

This style of list subscription doesn't allow you to have a confirmation e-mail sent to the subscriber though.... So in a nut shell someone could subscribe pretty much anyone else to your mailing lists.... So if some a## hole decided to subscribe 300 people to your lists, there would be nothing to stop him. And then you have an angry 300 people e-mailing your admin as to why they are receiving Spam e-mail from you...   Sorry if it sounds bitter, but have been there, done that...... It leaves it too wide open in my eyes. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Wolf / CompuSystems, Inc.

Phil,   I use Web List Commander available at: http://www.dolist.net/lmailer.asp    I am a novice and had it running in 10 minutes!  Easy.   Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2000 2:33 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] This is probably redundant but here goes.... I have downloaded the HTML form discussion lists subscription forms and have installed them according to the instructions to perfection.   It does not work.   I have been looking into it and though I would be smart and run the perl.exe subscribe1.pl from the DOS line to see if there were any errors.   There were   C:\>C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:\IMAIL\Web\cgi\subscribe1.pl In string, @imail now must be written as \@imail at C:\IMAIL\Web\cgi\subscribe1.pl line 51, near "$Email -f subscribe@imail" Execution of C:\IMAIL\Web\cgi\subscribe1.pl aborted due to compilation errors.   Each time I ran the program from DOS it gave me a new line, and I changed each one according.   It still did not work   I have now changed back the script to the original context and am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I can't be this stupid... but must be...   I am desperate and in your hands...   Please help?     Phil Williams ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
