Kevin -- Regarding the questions you sent to me off-list... The standard way to subscribe to a SL list is to send an email from the email account you wish subscribed, to the -request address of the list, with "subscribe" in the subject. For instance: if your list is called gorp, you might tell your clientele: Welcome to Gorp, blah blah blah... To join our email discussion list, send an email to gorp-request@example.com with the SUBJECT (not body) of your message reading "subscribe" (without the quotes.) Hmm... I'm sure this is all covered in the docs. have you been to http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/ ? -ph On Mon, 26 Nov 2001, Peter Hartzler wrote:
The usual approach is to write a cgi that takes a submitted email address and creates a subscribe message which it sends to the list-request address. Quite simple to do if you have any chops at all in web based apps. You'll want to enable confirmation, to avoid the addition of bogus email addresses.
On the other hand, pure email based subscription mechanisms such as the standard SmartList approach aren't that hard -- but I won't ask why you don't want to go that route. (Odds are someone else on this list will, however. ;)

I am looking for advice, example, instruction, anything that will help me create a web-based subscription form for a smartlist mailing list. I have been looking for hours, and thought that the members of this forum may be able to lend a hand.
I am trying to free myself of free e-mail hosts (Topica), and use the smartlist installed on my web site.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
