How do I subscribe people automatically?
You may create a web subscribe form in Aurea List Manager that you may put on your Web site. See Utilities: Web Forms: New Subscribe Form.
Another simple method for subscribing people automatically is to send a message on their behalf to subscribe-listname@…
using a program.
On Unix, you do this by using Sendmail.
On Windows, you can use the "Blat" command line program to send an email message. Blat is available
at: http://gepasi.dbs.aber.ac.uk/softw/Blat.html.
The command to send an email message to Aurea List Manager to subscribe someone on Windows is:
echo subscribe | blat - -server 207.105.6.126 -f john@example.com -t sub-nt-list
You will need to change the john@example.com to be the address to be subscribed and the TCP/IP address
to be the IP address for your Aurea List Manager server.
Another option is to write a SQL insert statement to be processed directly against your SQL Server. This
is a faster method of getting data into the SQL Server, but perhaps a bit more complicated. The members_
table has defaults for most columns, so the insert statement needs to only provide a few key fields.
