WWW forms MAILTO gives an error when sending to a List Manager

Question

We have got some problems when sending commands to a list using MAILTO on a web form.

The list manager responds with:
1: action=join&listname=ntalpha&email=test@wdr.de

No valid command found – sending help.
Successful

Answer

The problem is that the MAILTO command can not be used to send commands directly to a List Manager. It must go via the GMS Mail WWW filter. Have a look at the GMS Mail manual under WWW Filter for details.

Alternatively you can use the MAILTO.EXE program which does need the WWW filter.
