Hello,

Can someone recomend me a good book or website about building an optin
mailinglist?

I want a mailinglist that verifies by mail if the given mailacount exists,
by sending a confirmation mail to that adres. The user has to click the mail
to agree to the mailinglist.

thx,

Johan

Why not just holding all your emails in a table with an "id" and an attribute "activationkey".

This way you can hold an activation key for each email. You could create one for each
email by for example doing this:

$activationkey=md5($email.time());

And if you send an email you send a link with the activationkey+id that points to a script
that retrieves this activationkey and the id and checks it.

Regards
Stefan

hoping
there was some book or website where it's all explained.

Thx.

Where do you get those emails from? I mean where do you're storing them and loading it from?
