Ok, I finally got everything set up right, as the test mailing I set up to go to several e-mail addresses of my own (some at my domain, Yahoo, etc.). However, there's something I haven't figured out yet.

I have the domain address set up right. I even got it formatted so it'll come out looking the way it did when we were sending out via Mailman:
Organization name  • P.O. Box  • City, State Zip • Phone

However, I don't quite understand the other two tokens - the ones for opt out and unsubscribe.

How are these supposed to work?

I clicked on one of them that came to one of the addresses that I subscribed. It sent an e-mail to the IMAP account that I set up to handle Civimail. But I think that's all it did.

Thanks! Now that I'm getting a handle on how to install this, I'm hoping to write an easy to understand how to for use on the site. The one I used was confusing, and left out at least one step (it forgets this file: imap2soap.conf - it says the settings go in imap2soap.pl). But I still need to figure out how a few more things work.

They looked like this (I've replaced the correct domain with domain.org)

optOut.1.1.1.4085f9369a8e45276286e3130f81c2de7fc2b702@domain.org

When I clicked on the unsubscribe link, it sent an e-mail to the address that is set up to handle Civimail.

I'm using the imap2soap script. However, this is where the directions seemed a bit off, and I'm not sure I've done everything correctly.

I got the script and the config file. I edited it to have the right passwords, and I have them in a folder.

But I'm not entirely sure what to do with them at that point.

Thanks. I've tried going straight to the file myself in a browser or using a cron job to go to the file, but apparently that isn't right.

I've contacted them and asked them to look at this thread. That way they can see the discussion we've had thus far, and hopefully give some answers here that I"m sure others need as well.
