How can I set up a signup for multi-LMP installs?

Each install have one list (currently) - each install represents a site - how can I offer signups to sign up for all or any of the other newsletters?

list of sites:

www.hardwareranking.com
www.softwareranking.com
www.pdaranking.com
www.cameraranking.com
www.pdaranking.com

Do I need to combine them all into one install or what should I do? If you go and sign up for the Hardware Ranking newsletter, I would like you to be able to sign up for the others as well but the confirmation email would come from hardware ranking or would there be a confirmation (double opt-in) email from each site?

Any help would be appreciated,

Does global removal work now?

Yes, global removal works. Check out the "Remove Link" message code to see all of the new options.

You could do with either method of subscribing. If all lists are on different sites/ListMail installations you might use some JavaScript that changes the ACTION of the form.

If all lists are on the same site you might use checkboxes in a multi-list subscribe setting as per your second example.

Alternately, you could use a combination.

Dean,

thanks for getting back to me... they are all on different sites...

sample:

http://www.cameraranking.com/newsletter.php
http://www.hardwareranking.com/newsletter.php
http://www.pdaranking.com/newsletter.php

I would like to be able to do a check mark thing, and allow client to sign up for all or some newsletters in one swoop but thats not really possible is it without out of the box custom coding?

Multi-list with multi-sites would definitely require some custom JavaScript code.

It might not be too difficult - JavaScript could check the lists[] array and have its own array of form ACTIONs. One could then loop through the actions and lists in the array and pop up as many windows as necessary.

Dean... you might as well be speaking Greek to me right now...

I think I might go with the internet.com idea... not my ideal choice but...
