Um, may I point out a more convient MLM? tinylist. Web membership management, simple form- click a radio button for subscribe/unsubscribe, fill in your email address, click SEND. You get a letter. Reply to it. No passwords needed. It sends you a confirming letter telling you what it did. If there is a custom welcome/farewell message for the list, it sends you that instead. Simple.
