Mailing List Subscription Script

Does anyone have or know of a mailing list script that will subscribe to a list. I've been going at if for days and can't get one to work. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Sure thing, this script is a sample that should get ya going. The sections below in bold are fields you need to fill in to make it work with your form. You will also need a page called "you-are-now-subscribed.html" which this script will display when it works and subscribes an email addy to your list. There is no error checking built in, this is just a basic example of a script that will get ya going without too much trouble. If you want more features like error and field checking you can build that in later after you get the basics working.

<%
sendTo = "List Email Address Here"
From = request.form("HTML Form Name Here Sample-1")
Dim objNewMail
Set objNewMail = Server.CreateObject("MEMail.Message")
objNewMail.Server = "127.0.0.1"
objNewMail.MailTo= sendTo
objNewMail.MailFrom= From
objNewMail.Subject = "Subscribe"
objNewMail.MessageBody = "Subscribe" & vbcrlf&_
"Email: " & ESmail & vbcrlf&_
objNewMail.SendMessage
Response.redirect("http://yoursite.com/you-are-now-subscribed.html")

%>

As an afterthought I figured I'd add an html form sample for you as well. This is the bit of code to slap into your webpage to give the user a field they can type in their email address so the above script can process it.

<form name="Sample-1" action="/scripts/scriptname.asp" method="post">
<p align="left">To add your e-mail address to our
newsletter please enter your e-mail<br>
address and press the submit button.<br>
<input type="text" name="Sample-1" size="20">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" name="Submit2" value="Reset">
</p>
</form>

/scripts/scriptname.asp -- Location & file name of the Email Script above
Sample-1 -- Form name value (email address to pass on to script)

Regards,

Many, Many Thanks! I have been quite busy and that fire was quenched, as I began to work on it again this week I remembered putting a post here. You just made the rest of my day!
