Change the following variables in mail.cgi
Plus the path to perl (first line) if it is different from what is there........

$name_list = "Solution Scripts mailing list";
	# THE NAME OF YOUR MAILING LIST

$your_email = "solutions\@elitehost.com";
	# YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
	# don't forget the \ before @

$mail_prog = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";
     	# PATH TO MAILER PROGRAM:
     	# This has to point to your sendmail program. If your server does not
     	# have sendmail, you may need to modify the open(MAIL,"|$mailprog -t");
     	# lines in all of the scripts to support whatever format your server
     	# email system requires. If you are not sure, ask your server 
     	# administrator. If you have a virtual domain with your own root 
     	# directory, look in the /usr/sbin ,  /usr/lib, /usr/bin, and similar
     	# directories, for a program named sendmail. If it does not exist, 
     	# ask your server admin what is the correct calling method. This is a
     	# server dependent problem, and we at Solution Scripts cannot help you with 
     	# this. If you have other working scripts that send email, look at 
     	# them for clues.

$remove_link = 1;
	# This will put a link at the bottom of all emails sent out, where a user can click on
	# to automatically be removed from your mailing list. Set to 1 for on, 0 for off.
	


-------------------------------------------------------------

upload mail.cgi and chmod to 755
Make sure the dir it is in is writable....

Run mail.cgi from a browser and set your admin password.....
From mail.cgi you can send out email to al who have signed up, or delete any
of the current members.......

Due to the current hostilities some people have against spam, 
(even if they signed up for emails), we have added the remove_link feature to 
power list. If turned on, this will put a link to the script at the bottom of all emails.
Upon clicking on this link, their email address will automatically removed from the database.
It will look like the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be removed from this mailing list
click on the link below 
http://your_server.com/mail.cgi?solutions@solutionscripts.com


Use this code in any html file to have users add their email address...
or just send them to mail.cgi and let them sign up from there.......

		<form action="path to /mail.cgi" method=post>
		<input type=text name="address" size=50><br>
		<input type=radio name=action value=subscribe checked> 
		Subscribe | Unsubscribe <input type=radio name=action value=remove>
		<br><input type="submit" value="Update">
		</form>


Power List has also been rewritten to handle lists of many thousands of emails*

* In theory only ....... has not been tested, but should handle tons of emails.
  Please let us know what you find......
