Come to think of it, I'm probably up more of a creek than I originally had thought, now that you mentioned the users' permission concept: I don't pay for hosting.

I signed up for the 1and1.com free 3-yr deal and so I'm not paying for the host space. So, I guess, they most definitely wouldn't want me, a non-paying customer, installing any sort of remote applications to their server.

So, any suggestions? Any free scripts? Again, just to re-iterate but not repeat as to become too nagging for help...I am looking for a mailing list application of some kind, excluding Yahoo Groups. Maybe a cgi application? Perl? Spanish? Anything will do...

Thanks again everyone.
