moneytree Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hi, May I know how to create a confirm opt-in link in the email message which send out to subscriber after they have opt-in to webform on my site ? The main objective is to avoid any spamming issue. When a subscriber opt-in with his/her details into the webform for newsletter,the first email will be send out with this confirm opt-in link,the subscriber has to click on this link in order to receive a second email with a down load link for the newsletter they had opt-in for it. I am using my autoresponder which provided by my web hosting company for this purpose,if I have create an email account - confirmoptin@yourdomain.com, how can I get it done ? Many thanks for your time and efforts in helping me. Best regards manicui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesideez Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I've had a quick look at the script and you'd need to add another field, something like: newsletter TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED Have a checkbox on the registration form asking if they want to receive the newsletter - I prefer to use the "opt-in" method where the checkbox is unticked by default. When parsing the registration form details if they want to receive the newsletter fill it with a 1, if not, use 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
