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

As the page suggests, Web List Commander available at: http://www.dolist.net/lmailer.asp  would be handy for unsubscribing a few people. That's sort of an admission that it's not practical for public use. Aside from the confirmation issue, if you want to handle more than one command, or more than one list, you have to replicate the form.

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])
