The way we handle it is to have the web page lost signup form actually send a "confirmation" email direct to the address to be added, with this message being sent FROM the subscribe list address, instructing them to simply reply to this message to add themselves....
 
very basic but works like a charm.....prevents all false add's on our end...

Subject: [IMail Forum] Confirmation of subscribe?

Hi there,
 
I have just setup a Imail List Server 7.0 and everything is working perfectly, but currently if somebody subscribes via email there is NO msg saying "To confirm this is you, please reply to this message" like the IPswitch Imail Discussion..
 
Can Imail Listserver do this, if so how??
 
I didn't want somebody subscribing bogus email addresses, I wanted this function as a kind of security measure so that the subscriber has to confirm his subscription via email
 
Any ideas?'
 
Regards
 
Ian
