Mes Freres,

My client would like an opt-in mailing list script and I am debating whether I should write one or pay for MajorDomo or Mailman (or use NomoDomo) etc. I want whatever we use to do automated additions based on the reply of the user to our subscribe mail.

I would like opinions on whether writing my own is a waste of time.

Additionally I would like to know, if I pursue writing this what modules others are using. I have thus far examined Mail::Audit and Mail::Bulkmail. They look like a good start, but I am still unclear as to how Perl reads Subject or Body to determine an action (subscribe/unsubscribe) to perform on the database.
Any help greatly appreciated.
TIA
jg
