... like a mailing list would use to sign someone up? I'm especially
looking for the part that extracts the basic email address from the
From: line.
Majordomo already has a function that does this rather automatically.
You may not want the 'From:' line, since they may have set a Reply-To line.
Rather than reinvent the wheel, why not checkout the majordomo code
(www.greatcircle.com).
You can fairly easily turn on subscription confirmations using majordomo by
using open+confirm in the config file
