Hello , I have a dedicated server with hostgator and it uses cpanel....
I have set up the pipe forwards for bounce.cgi and signup1.cgi
My TESTBOUNCE email works just fine.......
But signup1.cgi does not work......
I have set up the file inputs and set the permissions to 755, but it still fails..
here is the signup.cgi settings
***************************
#!/usr/bin/perl
# ListMail signup.cgi - Subscribe by email
#
# You must configure this script for it to work.
#
# Place the script in your "public_html/cgi-bin" directory. You will need multiple copies of
# this script with different filenames / email alias addresses if you want to add users to
# individual lists or different sets of lists.
# SET this to your ListMail URL, NO trailing slash
$listmail_url = "
http://www.dimesaledollars.com/mymail";
# SET the variable $list to one of the following:
# single list
$list = '6';
# multiple lists
# $list = '1,3,2';
# parse subject into a custom field? (uncomment to enable)
# $parse_subj = 1;
# custom field for subject line data, 'user1' thru 'user10'
$parse_subj_field = 'user1';
# For multiple lists, use commas. Each list's welcome / confirmation
# setting and email will be taken into account.
# usually works as default (may be /usr/local/bin/wget or other)
$http_program = "/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null " . $listmail_url . "/signup.php";

I emailed my support and this is what they said...
********************************
Well, I see one problem immediately:
/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null ...
The -O flag says to take everythign being 'wgot' put it all together as one big file and write it to the filename following the -O. /dev/null is also known as the 'black hole', it's literally a dump it in and it disappears forever file.
You will need to contact support for that script and have them provide you with a filename that doesn't disappear all your data.

PLEASE HELP, I really need this to work.....
