I had a real problem today with setting up the subscription scripts. Now, the actual subscribing part was easy, but then I wanted to write a script that would send out all the emails through a form on the web. Well that ended up not working, because if any of the emails bounced, I wouldn't get them, the server admin would.

So I spent the last 4 hours figuring out a workaround.

Turns out that because Sendmail doesn't know who's sending email if you use it through the web, it will just send it back to root. So in order to fix it I had to make my Perl script into an actual application, and run it from the command line. Not as simple, but it gets the job done.

version 6 progress:

*href page and scripts completed.
*covers template almost done.
*subscription scripts done.
*alias via telnet needs fixing.
