Hey guys.

I got a few questions for you.

I've built for my website my own newsletter script because i didn't find any other good one, so i had to have a custom one for myself.

The user enter his e-mail, then he receiving a confirmation e-mail with a link he should click on.

What i'm tracking is the ip of that user, i'm tracking both the ip used for placing the e-mail itself & the one used to click on the confirmation e-mail, with the data ofcurse.

Question #1 : There is anyting else that i need to track ?

Question #2 : Sending e-mails, i need to do a special thing for it on my script, or just send the e-mails using sendmail one by one ?

Question #3: What is being called a "big" newsletter ?
It seems like i'll receive around 330 confired newsletter signups a day (out of 1,000 it seems like only 33% of them are clicking on the confirmation e-mail).

Question #4: I'm not going to sell that list in the future or anyting like that, i'm just going to send in the mails the info promised + some adv e-mails around 1 to 2 times a week + ads on the e-mails themself, but i was wondering what is a value of each e-mail ?
I mean, wegcash are paying 1$ or maybe even more per e-mail, can i say that each of my e-mails could be worth 1$ ?
If i have 30,000 ppl signed for my newsletter, can i say it worth 30,000$ ?

Thanks.
