Double Opt In Newsletter Email

[IndyNeal]

My webhost requires any email I send out to be double opted in. Which means when a user creates an account and selects that they would like to subscribe to my stores newsletter, I NEED to fire off another email asking them to confirm there subscription request.

I have already modified the customer DB table to accept the confirmation, via email link, with the date and the fact they confirmed.

Question/Help:
What I need now is to know where in the Zen Cart code a new account gets created so I can add some sort of php driven email to the user to confirm their newsletter subscription.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

There are some mods available that will satisfy the double opt-in requirement:

I haven't used any of them, since I installed PHPList instead. But the most recommended one seems to be mailchimp.

PS: You can ignore the one titled Newsletter Center. As far as I know, nobody has been able to get it to work. I couldn't.

RescoCCC. Thanks for the info. I checked them out and they almost get close to what I need done but not quite.


Again, if anyone can help, what I really need to find is the code that gets processed when:

1.) A user creates an account. I will write a custom code block that will check to see if the newsletter box was checked and if so, fire off a simple "email confirmation" for the user to click on.

2.) When a user updates/adds themselves to the newsletter from a user account. I will do the same check and fire off an email if they added themselves to the newsletter.

Thanks.

MailChimp does this.
