Can I make a email list form where the input data automatically gets added to the outgoing email list?
I’m not sure if I’m wording this right. But I want to add an input field on my website to join a mailing list. I would imagine that the email address they input would then automatically get added to an outgoing email list. I’ve been using formmail and CGI to recieve data such as contact info or invoices to my email. Now I’d like to know if and how the mailing list is possible. Can anyone help or point me to a website that would have that info? Thank you very much!!
This is pretty simplistic, but it’s worked fine for mailing lists of a thousand names or so. I have a form that collects the visitor’s name and email address, and calls a simple Perl script (formmail is Perl, isn’t it?). I keep the email list as a DBM file, keyed by email address, and add the visitor thusly:
dbmopen(%MAILLIST, "$maillist", 0644) or die "cant open mail list: $!";
$MAILLIST{$formdata{’email’}} = $formdata{’name’};
dbmclose %MAILLIST;
I also send the visitor a confirming email with an opt-out link in the form ..remove.cgi?email=you@yours.net

Website mailing list problem- takes me to an email client like Outlook?
My friend site is trying to log a mailing list, but when people put in the name and email it opens up a media client.
Is there something wrong with the code:
<td colspan="3" rowspan="3"><form action="MAILTO:email@email.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<h4><span class="style3">name:</span><br />
<input type="text" name="name" value="yourname" />
<br />
<span class="style3">e-mail:</span><br />
<input type="text" name="mail" value="yourmail" />
<br />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Send">
It is not clear to me what you want to achieve, but a form action Mailto invokes the browser to look for the default email program, start it up and open up a new email to email@email.com. This is expected behaviour
If you want people to sign up to be included in a mailing list, you need to make a small database in which all subscribers are included and do a add record to add a new subscriber.

Why have I not got Welcome Email from New Tegan and Sara Website’s Mailing List?
I subscribed several times (UK) with different email accounts and although I receive the email with the confirmation URL, I have never received any newsletters or updates or even the Welcome Email that it says I should get once I confirmed. I have added the email address to my Contact so would not be deleted as spam. I really hope someone will be able to help me as I don’t want to miss anything.
Thank you.
Well, I don’t know about the welcome email, I don’t think I got a confirmation email, or any emails since.So, I don’t think you’re alone.
They might just not have all the things in the site worked out yet.
