Hello,
I was able to get some input into a website before it was ....
uh...designed (or before work began on it).
I suggested a "mailing list". Not a real mailing list like this one
but basically a newsletter.
I decided to use majordomo for it. I set it up as a closed moderated
list. I like the idea that people must go the extra step to
subscribe as opposed to going an extra step to unsubcribe to
something they did not subscribe to.
But...to my point.
Our marketing department was aghast at the default response sent back
by majordomo. They had no idea what it all meant and wanted me to
provide a kindler, gentler response. Actually there is talk of just
allowing anyone to subscribe anybody.
But here is my question. Is there already a way to customize the
response when you request a person authorize their subscription?
I did the following:
if (-e "$homedir/Lists/${list}\_confirmation.message") {
open(R,"$homedir/Lists/${list}\_confirmation.message");
while(<R>) {
s/\[mailing list\]/$list\@$whereami/g;
s/\[list owner\]/$whoami/g;
s/\[uid\]/$cookie/g;
s/\[cmd\]/$cmd/g;
s/\[list\]/$list/g;
s/\[subscriber\]/$subscriber/g;
s/\[list owner email\]/$list-approval\@$whereami/g;
print AUTH;
}
close(R);
and I put a file c2-list_confirmation.message in the lists directory.
It works fine but I wonder why something didn't already allow for
this.
Also, why does this work when I put it in the headers of the email:
List-Help: http://www.theidealab.com
In Pegasus it will bring up dialog box and I click and go to the
website. In Eudora you see nothing. I copied this from here:
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:unsubscribe-perl-win32-
