Add an option to subscribe via email

Add an option to subscribe via email with an email subscription address where someone can send an email rather than filling out the form, and so that it can be generated via a membership script.

We are most likely not going to implement this for a few reasons:

1 - Spammers email the autoresponder addresses, adding to the load of the site for no reason.
2 - Anyone can spoof an email to an autoresponder email
3 - Without the form we cannot collect the IP address of the subscriber to prevent abuse

That being said you can use the subscribe form and javascript to submit the form. There is a PDF on how to do this with LFM scripts available.

Hello Tim

But with double optin you can prevent this spammers or another abuse method right?
cause many script or wp plugin (specially on the FB optin) use email with an email subscription

Btw what is LFM script? and where can I buy it? and where to get the pdf

Many thanks,
Octa
