Membership scripts

[harry]

I am looking for a script that will control paid subscribers and time them out. Any suggestions?

Possibly... Can you be a bit more specific about what all you need it to do?

My ideal membership script should control access to a protected area, count days and send renewal e-mails. It would be nice to let people sign themselves up for a month long freebie but prevent any more.

It should automatically subscribe all to a mailing list and remove them when they fail to renew.

Last on the wish list is something to prevent passwords from being shared.

I have a copy of dreamaccount, but I don't think it's a very mature program yet.

I don't know of anything that does all of that, at least not without customizing. I have a program that does some of it and could be modified to do other parts, but I'm not sure it would be exactly what you want.

I'm using one from http://www.ahg.com/software.htm. It actually doesn't do a bad job. I modified it to update a mailing list when people come and go. Hope I can do that here with ezMLM.

If you wish to do subscriber confirmations, you can also send an email to
[mailing list]-subscribe-[username]=[example.com]@lists.[my domain]

where you replace all of the bracketed items above with the actual information.

[mailing list] should be replaced with your actual list name.
[username] and [example.com] should be replaced with parts of the potential subscriber's email address, assuming the email address to be confirmed is username@example.com.
[my domain] should be replaced with your actual domain, where you are hosting the list.

This is explained at the bottom of the following tutorial:
