Hi, Joseph
1) Setup a listserver, thats the one that receives the join and leave commands. You can even setup an ASP or PHP script so users can sign up or leave via some web page form.
You will use a listserver only if you want to automate the process of adding/removing users. And note there are other ways, such as you can use your mailing list with a database as the source for email addresses and have some script that automatically adds/removes emails addresses to the database (its even better this way, since using listserver an email is sent so there is no guaranteed response that an email was addeded/remove shown right away, the message will still be sent to the listserver for processing...).
2) You create a mailing list, which will receive messages and send to members and a listserver if you want to let users sign up to the mailing list via email. In the listserver, activate checkboxes JOIN and LEAVE and in Source field, specify "All domain mailing lists", so the listserver will work for all mailing list of this domain (or specify with which mailing lists it should work by choosing Mailing lists from text file and in the field below specifying the text file used as source of members for the mailing list you want to control).
If you want, Pvt with your email address and I can send you a script I have in ASP that adds/removes members via listserver on a web page form.
Also, remember to mark "only members can post" in the mailing list, or else, anyone from the outside can send msgs to the mailing list. Or setup a Rule like "where sender not SMTP AUTH, Reject" (so only uses that SMTP AUTH can send messages).
Hope it helps.
regards,
Marcio
