040. How do I capture autoresponder (Infobot) addresses to a mail list?

To capture email addresses from a message sent to an autoresponder (for example info) do the following:

1) Create and put the info autoresponder in the infobot directory.

2) Now you need to setup a configuration file to tell the mail system to build a mailing list. In your infobot directory create a file called infolist. This is used to tell the system what to do with addresses received from each infobot response. You can have as many lists as you want, for our purposes we will set it up  to write to one list called "newsletter".  Here's what the file should look like:

 Ex: autoresponder-name newsletter
In our case:
 info newsletter

First line should be the infobot name followed by a space, then  newsletter.

That's all you need to create a list called  "newsletter".

3)  To send mail to the list, send your E-mail to newsletter@yourdomain.com
and the Plus Mail System will send it to the entire list.
Note that every modify requires 10-15 minutes to be propagated to the system.

4) If you like to receive a copy of all the messages sent to the info autoresponder, just put a line like:

info yourloginname@yourdomainname
