Thanks so much for the insight which is a much simpler way.
I successfully set up a test page (a form) that takes email to, from, subject and body and sends it.
<?php
$emailto=$_GET['emailto'];
$emailfrom=$_GET['emailfrom'];
$emailsub=$_GET['emailsub'];
$emailbody=$_GET['emailbody'];
$headers = "From: <$emailfrom>\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: <$emailfrom>\r\n";
if(mail($emailto, $emailsub, $emailbody, $headers)) {
echo"Email Sent";
exit;
}
echo "Email Error";
?>However, when I send a message to subscribe to the EZMLM list, it sends ok, but doesn't get added to the list. When I send a test message to myself I noticed that the Return-path in the email sent is not what I set in my script, but that of the apache user. I wonder if that is where the EZMLM-sub gets the address for submission and is sending the confirmation to the dead mailbox.
Any insight?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I'm writing a little script (my 3rd) that takes name (first, last) and email address
and writes it to txt file and submits the email address to an EZMLM list server.
All is well but I'm not sure where to go for the submission.
The command line - ezmlm-sub works (from the shell)... if the user is root or vpopmail.
Is there a safe way to run the shell command via a php script? Or can someone suggest another way to submit an address to ezmlm.
You can make use of the public interface to ezmlm-sub by sending an email to <listname>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
You'll need to set the 'From:' header of your emails to the address of your subscriber.
You can find information on the mail() function at http://www.php.net/mail
