Subscription Plugins for Wordpress

There are no special plugins or addons for MailList Controller required. You can use the same plugin as used for your contact forms.
The only requirement is, that the form sends an email with the subscribe keyword as subject to the list email address.

 

Sample:

• Create a new contact form with 2 text input fields (Email and Name)
• Specify the list email address as recipient of the email message generated by the form / plugin
• Specify the subscribe keyword as subject of the email message generated by the form / plugin

The "Email Address" of the list can be found in the "List Settings" > "Basic List Settings". Make sure, the email address is valid for the POP/IMAP account specified in "Incoming Mail Server (POP/IMAP)". The "Subscribe Keyword" can be found in "List Settings" > "List Synchronization".

 

How should the Subscribe Message look like?

The program can process HTML or plain-text subscription messages in the form field= value or field: value.
Important: Field names are case-sensitive!

The program uses the email address from the message body (if defined), otherwise it uses the email address from the message header (to-field).
This might be useful since some form mailers always use the same email address as sender. You can use "Email" or "EMAIL" in the message body - other (custom) field names are case-sensitive.
