Matt - If you have some logic/scripting on your web site (i.e. Lasso, ColdFusion, PhP, or something similar) I would use those to handle the filtering and then trigger an email_admin response.

So, for example, you could have a sign-up form on your site. It triggers an automatic email (through your scripting) to the reviewer - perhaps saving the email address and name in a database. The reviewer gets an email with a unique URL in it that triggers the admin email being sent, with the saved name and address added into the outgoing message.

This would be pretty easy to do in Lasso, and I assume relatively easy in other alternatives.

We run a private mailing list where we would like to "moderate" subscription requests. That is, we don't want to moderate postings to the list, but we want an opportunity to approve or decline requests to join the list.

LetterRip Pro 4.05b11 doesn't offer this functionality, so I went to look at processors. There appear to be no sample Mac OS X processors. Of the five that are available for Mac OS X, three are "read-only" and can't be examined, and two have nothing to do with subscribers.

I'd prefer to do this via Apple events and AppleScript rather than generating E-mail to the requests address, but I can't find any documentation, samples, or pointers. Even simple AppleScript commands like "make new subscriber" fail with a very generic LetterRip-supplied error "LetterRip failed to process the event."

Where should I look for information on how to filter subscription requests, either by processor or AppleScript or in the program itself?
