Signup-list1.cgi file and function

[gifmore]

Hi Dean,

I think I have installed Listmail correctly and I have successfully tested bounce.cgi.

However, after configuring the Signup-list1.cgi file, changing the permissions to 755, setting up an signuplist1@mydomain.com plus the email forwarder to |/home/myusername/public_html/cgi-bin/signup-list1.cgi, the script does not work when I send an email to
signup-list1@mydomain.com, i.e. my email address is not added to the user database for list1 inside Listmail, and I do get receive the messages from Listmail either.

I have read the other forum posts related to this topic, but they do not address this problem or offer solutions.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi Tony,

Please be reminded that the script name will not necessarily be the same as the email address.  You could, for example, set up signup@example.com to point to signup-list1.cgi.  I assume you realize this considering

First, double check that the ListMail URL is entered correctly into the .cgi script and that the permissions are 755.  After that, it's supposed to work considering bounce.cgi does.

Are you sure the email address you are sending From, to the signup script, is not already an Active user on the list configured in the signup .cgi?

If you continue to have troubles please submit your info for a manual investigation.

Hi Dean,

Many thanks for your reply.

I've checked those things but it still doesn't subscribe me to list1 when I send a blank email to signuplist1@1wealthsystem.com.

I've submitted my info as per your suggestion.

Please give me a hand with this.

Thank you.

Cheers

P.S. Yep, I know the signup-list1.cgi is just an example  :wink:

Hi Tony,

bounce.cgi was not in fact working.  Please read the "Test Mail Settings" page carefully - you should receive two success emails, one for SMTP and one for bounce.cgi.

It appears your host has a limitation on the users who can access the required system utilities "wget" or "curl".

Linux file listing:

-rwxr-x--- 1 root get-users 206096 Nov 2 2005 /usr/bin/wget
-rwxr-x--- 1 root get-users 165371 May 17 06:02 /usr/bin/curl
-rwxr-x--- 1 root get-users 14264 Feb 21 2005 /usr/bin/GET
-rwxr-x--- 1 root get-users 1180484 Nov 11 2005 /usr/bin/lynx

Please ask your host to add your FTP/cPanel username to the "get-users" system group.  After that, the default instructions available at http://listmailpro.com/help should work fine.
