I'm not sure how it's done exactly but I think the basic concept is to have a daemon running, or have your program run by cron, and have the program collect it's mail. On Linux I think you can get your mail simply by fetching and parsing the file /var/spool/mail/"username", where username is the name of the account unsubscribe requests are mailed to. But you want a mailing list, use major domo or some other ML spftware instead of writing your own. Jc
