Wind, no, the read-only-admin-post it not the problem.
Its the double-opt-in. User wants to join. He has to do: - submit a join message (per mail or web interface) he will get a "welcome" mail to the email adress he gave and then - he has to click on a link in that mail or reply via mail The welcome-message subject/content/url is unique, it contains a special id, that is only valid for this email adress. Why such a difficult task? Simple. Otherwise (with single-opt-in) I could assign you to any mailing list. So a wide abuse is possibility. Normally, software that can double-opt-in has another "feature of quality". In case of abuse (if i sign you up) you simple would ignore the invite message. The list processing robot will not add you onto the list, you will get no further messages. There is a certain time frame you have to respond, if you want onto the list (give 7 days or so). Programming this feature is not very difficult, if you already have the message routines. Just create a analysing part and a "unique id generator" (no counter! just random.) -- Holger Lembke +49-531-334676 ------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe please go to http://www.sambar.ch/list/
