Hello,
just upgraded to v7 and finally decided to automate newsletter subscription/cancellation which are coming from a webform email.
In a single database I have a matrix of several groups (demo users vs. customers) for two different products.
How should I configure MLK that it automatically retrieves subscriptions/cancellations from two subscription forms (newsletter@producta.com and newsletter@productb.com)? Subscribers should automatically be added to the corresponding group.
German laws require double-opt in confirmation for subscription.
Must I split my setup into two different databases or can I work with a single db?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Knubbi
With a message of the subject:
Subscribe Group_1
MLK will recognize the specified group name.

Sorry for the break. Now, I am back on the task.
When using option #1, how does MLK know into which group to put new subscribers? Does it automatically recognize the group name in the mail subject and route emails to corresponding MLK groups?

Hi Knubbi
Suggestion #1 does not require Outlook.

If possible, I would maintain my newsletter without the help of Outlook and only let MLK do the newsletter stuff. Do you also have a Outlook-less path?

Hi Knubbi
Well there are a number of solutions, such as:
1. Change your mailto link to include the group name
mailto:mylist@email.com?Subject=Subscribe%20Group_1 (%20 is an encoded space)
2. Use Outlook rules to move the recipients for each receiving address to a different Outlook folder. Then use Folder Processing Tasks (View>Options, Incoming in MLK) to process the messages in each folder differently.

Actually the form consists of a mailto: Link which is sending an email with a given "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" subject. Nothing else.
One newsletter subscription page sends an email to newsletter@producta.com and the other to newsletter@productb.com

Hi Knubbi
Do your forms have the same format, e.g. are all the field names and separators the same? If so, then you should be able to handle it all with a single database.
