Hello,
I am trying to subscribe a batch of 30 people to lists via a single email
message. The message contains an ADD command for each subscriber-list
combination. E.g.:
ADD listname1 email_address1 fname1 lname1
ADD listname2 email_address2 fname2 lname2
etc
The email is being sent from an account that has admin priveleges on the
listserv server. This account is not the same as the list
owner/maintainer. Note that I did not supply a password and did not get a
msg indicating that I needed to.
I'm having some problems:
1. I get a return message for each ADD asking me (admin) to confirm that I
want to add that person. This is a problem because the whole point of
batching the subscriptions is that it is automated and doesn't require
admin intervention to accomplish. Note that I tried included //x JOB REPLY-
TO=NONE before the ADD commands (with and without). Also note that I can't
make the commands QUIET (I dont think) because I need a welcome message to
be sent to the subscribers. I would also like to require a confirmation
email from the subscribers.
2. Even after confirming that I want to ADD the subscriber (by clicking on
the weblink) and receiving a message indicating that I have successfully
added that person, the subscriber whose email was listed in the ADD command
never receives a welcome to the list message.
Finally, the lists have these settings:
Validate = Yes, Confirm
Subscription = Open, Confirm
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
EB
