An instance of the code is running and is available at https://exposures.kronicd.net, which is configured as follows:
- Custom PHP is used to add and remove email addresses from a dreamhost announcement mailing list
wacovidmailer.pyis configured to run every 15 minutes and has theDreamhost Announceconfiguration items filled out- Dreamhost manages the mailing list functionality including confirmation emails for subscribe actions
- The PHP code is not included as part of this release as it would be of limited use and add significant confusion for those attempting deployment
The core of the subscription function is essentially:
if($invalid == False) {
$format = 'https://api.dreamhost.com/?key=%s&cmd=announcement_list-add_subscriber&listname=LISTNAME&domain=DOMAIN&email=%s';
$subUrl = sprintf($format, $apiKey, $email);
file_get_contents($subUrl);
$msg = "You have been subscribed to the mailing list. Please check your email for a confirmation link, you may need to check your spam folder.";
} else {
$msg = "Email address invalid or not supplied.";
