Now our new LISTSERV is ready to go, there's just the one thing left to do: update the forms on our Web pages appropriately. But here I've struck a problem. The World Wide Words web site is on a completely separate system to the LISTSERV. I have access to CGI/PERL scripting, so can create a form-based interface. But how do I write it so the LISTSERV will accept subscription requests and process them properly? The only way I can think of is to make the e-mail address from which the CGI submissions would come a list owner and use the ADD command. Is this how people do it, or are there security implications in doing this? Is there a better way? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael B Quinion <[log in to unmask]> Thornbury, Bristol, UK World Wide Words: <http://www.clever.net/quinion/words/>
