TLmembershipform.py listing- it generates the form for you, inserting the site relevant information.
Offered just in case anyone wants to see what the receiving script is being babbled at by.
The big idea here is the newbie user does not have to go in and edit the page for site relevant information, the script includes it automatically. Goal is to make it as easy as possible for marginal users- and them folk in a hurry to get something turned on simple and easy.
ns# list TLmembershipform.py

# OWNERSHIP AND PERMISSION ISSUES
# make sure this script runs as a TRUSTED USER-
# and NOT as root!!! You set that up in the Sendmail Config file (sendmail.cf).
#50 Make sure that a NON-priviliged user OWNS
# this script, and that it runs as that identity!
# Generally, this is accomplished by making sure it is owned by that user.
# Permission on all scripts must be 755, files as 666, and listdir as 744.
# The image files must NOT be placed in the cgi-bin, but in the web directory!

# SPAM
# Spam SUCKS. It also ROBS everyone it touches, each system it passes through.
# Fight spam. DO NOT host open lists all the world may post to.
#60 TinyList CANNOT do so as written, PLEASE do not defeat this.
