Re: [PHP] ezmlm-sub or alternative

2004-10-13 Thread Mark Hubert
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)) {
echoEmail 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,

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 enable remote administration then have php send mail to:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This will subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the list 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Make sure you use the 5th parameter in mail() to specify the remote 
admin/moderators email address.

NB if you do not allow any other methods of subscribing to the list you may 
want to disable subscription moderation so the remote admin don't have to 
confirm each subscription request.
