Hi Dean,
Thank you for an excellent script that just gets better and better!
Unfortunately I've discovered that I have a problem with gettings sign-ups by my web visitors sending a blank email to my sign-up email address.
There's no problem with signing up for my list through using the forms at my web site (using the post method to submit the info, new subscribers fill in, to the signup.php file).
But if you try to sign up by sending an email to the email address I've I've set up as an email alias, nothing happens at all. It's very strange.
I've tried to follow all the guideslines in your fine online installation guide:
1. I've configured the relevant signup-listX.cgi file:
I've SET the variable $list to the number of my list (and
corresponding to the "X" in signup-listX.cgi.
I've SET $listmail_url to my ListMail URL (remembering NOT to
add a trailing slash).
2. I've uploaded the relevant signup-listX.cgi file in ASCII
transfer mode.
I've CHMOD'd the file to 755.
3. I've set up an email alias - carefully following your and my web
hosts' (Host4Profit) instructions (including having replaced
"scriptname.cgi" with my script name etc.)
I've followed the same procedure with the bounce.cgi file, and it works correctly.
I've used "Test Mail Settings" to test the mail setup, and it works correctly too.
And everything else in ListMail Pro seems to work correctly - that is, except the schedule function which doesn't seem to work. If I schedule an email it doesn't get sent. Again, nothing happens at all. But maybe in this case it's just me who's mixing things up. I don't know for sure.
I've tested and tested my qmail settings. I've checked all permissions for all the files in ListMail Pro. I've tested all paths. I've tried to use several email addresses to test the blank email sign-up function. I've tested and re-tested (five to ten times at least) everything that I can imagine can be wrong. However, nothing seems to be wrong, as far as I can see. But the problem just persists, which is very unfortunate as I've now lost thousands and thousands of sign-ups.
Dean, can you please help?
Thank you very much in advance!
Warmly,
Klaus Dahl
