[PHP-DB] Mail() and replies
Is there any way to receive mail via PHP? What I am interested in doing is creating a double opt-in e-mail list whereby someone can subscribe to an e-mail service via an on-line form. Upon doing so, they would get a confirmation e-mail. Replying to this e-mail would confirm the subscription and add the sender's e-mail address to the database (MySQL). Doable?

I would say this can be done (-: Run a quck search on freshmeat.net, sourceforge.net, of course the manual http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php, and http://www.hotscripts.com/, just to name a few places to start. Or just search for mailing list php on Google. There are a ton of mailing list managers out there - check them out and then decide if you need to roll your own. Many are free to use, and would at least offer some idea of where to start. Baumgartner Jeffrey wrote: Is there any way to receive mail via PHP?

Sure, there are a couple modules in PHP that'll let you access and read your POP3 or IMAP email. I'm sure there are some classes on phpclasses.org that can be modified to your needs. There are programs out there that do this already, too, if you don't want to re-create the wheel. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Quite doable. Check the IMAP functions.
