ezmlm program

[zak]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to control the messages from ezmlm program of the hsphere cpanel?

It is in English while i want to make them in Greek.

Still is there anyway for me to add a link or a form on my website for visitors to add themselves automaticaly on the mailling list?

Thank you.

I believe you are "stuck" with english on the mailing list generated verbiage.

As far as a form. Here's one I have in my knowledge base for my customers and I've used on a Windows server:

The following is a two part script that will allow you to do it on a windows server.

The following would be the contents of a form in an html page. Adjust to your site:

<form method=POST action="subscribe.asp" target="_top">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="mail_to" VALUE="listname-subscribe@yourdomain.com">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="mail_subject" VALUE="Subscribe">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="mail_redirect" VALUE="http://www.yourdomain.com/thanksforsubscribing.htm">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="mail_send" VALUE="y">



<TABLE BORDER=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width="350">




<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="mail_from" SIZE="30" CLASS="shadeform"> <B>E-Mail</B><BR>

<br>
<br>

<input type="submit" value="Submit Query" onmouseover="this.className='submitbuttonon'" onmouseout="this.className='submitbutton'" class="submitbutton"><br>

</FORM>

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Take the following code and paste it into a new page called subscribe.asp Adjust for your domain.

<%

'The hidden variable called "mail_send" must be set to "y" for the mail to send
IF Request.Form("mail_send") = "y" THEN


IF form_from = "" THEN form_from = "abuse@yourdomain.com"
IF form_to = "" THEN form_to = "listname-subscribe@yourdomain.com"
IF form_subject = "" THEN form_subject = "Subscribe"
IF form_redirect = "" THEN form_redirect = "http://www.yourdomain.com/thanksforsubscribing.htm"



'************************************************* ******

FOR x = 1 TO Request.Form.Count
IF Request.Form.Key(x) = "mail_from" OR Request.Form.Key(x) = "mail_to" OR Request.Form.Key(x) = "mail_cc" OR Request.Form.Key(x) = "mail_bcc" OR Request.Form.Key(x) = "mail_subject" OR Request.Form.Key(x) = "mail_importance" OR Request.Form.Key(x) = "mail_redirect" OR Request.Form.Key(x) = "mail_send" OR Request.Form.Key(x) = "Submit" THEN
form_variables = form_variables
ELSE
form_variables = form_variables & Request.Form.Key(x) & ": " & vbcrlf & Request.Form.Item(x) & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
END IF
NEXT

DIM body_text
body_text = body_text & form_variables
body_text = body_text & "Sent from: " & vbcrlf & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") & vbcrlf & vbcrlf

objMail.Importance = form_importance
objMail.Body = body_text
objMail.Send 'This line actually sends the e-mail
SET objMail = NOTHING

'Redirect to thank you page or write thank you
'************************************************* ******
IF form_redirect = "" THEN
Response.Write("Thank You. Mail Sent.")
ELSE
Response.Redirect(form_redirect)

</head>
<body>
<form name="subscribe" method="post" action="subscribed.asp">
Email Address <input name="email" type="text" size="25" maxlength="50"><br /><br />
<input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Subscribe">
</form>
</body>
</html>

new page--------------called subscribed.asp

<%
Set JMail = Server.CreateObject("JMail.Message")
JMail.ISOEncodeHeaders = False
JMail.From = Request.Form("email")
JMail.Subject = "subscribe"
JMail.AddRecipient "list-subscribe@domain.com"
'JMail.AddRecipientBCC "youremail@yourdomain.com" add your email here i f you want to know about signups
JMail.Body = "subscribe"
JMail.Priority = 3
JMail.Send(Request.Form("SMTP"))
%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>subscribed</title>
</head>
<body>
subscribed, thank you.
</body>
</html>

you could use almost any form script and send the form to the list signup email address

Thanks for posting those forms. When I started with hsphere I couldn't find a good form and found the program of little use without it.

[zak]

thank yo all..

i still have questions thought..

I have set as moderator an email i use but still notmatter which mail i use and send to newsletter@mydomain.com it will send the mail to the whole list!!!!
How can i stop that???
I dodnt want anyone to able to send anything to my list.

Does anyone know a page that i could find some tutotrials on how to use this mailing list throgh hsphere?

Thank you.

How can I moderate all posts to a mailing list? Even from members.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The setting are not real clear but make sure the following three options are selected:

Message Moderation

AND

Others not rejected. For moderated lists, all posts are forwarded to moderators. The switch affects only moderated lists.

AND

Do not restrict posts based on SENDER address

[zak]

I have this customer who wants to use the mailing list of hsphere panel as an everyday newsletter tool.
He has over 1500 cliients and wants to be sending mail to them everyday. (text plain)

How much do you think the bandwith will grow every month with such trafic?

Thank you.

Thank you.

your looking to get yourself blacklisted with that account.
1500 plain text messages should be nothing. about 5KB for a simple plain text message 5x1500 = 7500KB = 7MB

[mresell]

Why would someone want to send a newsletter everyday. Seems like once a week would be enough. Alerts are one thing.

Did you try Psoft http://www.psoft.net/HSdocumentation...ing_lists.html and here

I have done all that and even i get rejected from sending mails to the list!!
why so?
what do i have to set?

thank you

[cleonard]

Do you have the email address you're using to send messages setup as a moderator and list owner? You should get a message to moderate your own post at that point. Approve the post by replying to the email sent by the system and the message will go to the list.

Works for me and all my customers . . .

[zak]

i did.. and did work..
it seems likes sometimes we should ready the whole mail

i thank you..
