to be sure not getting spammed on ur mailing list.. use get the host from the mail i mean the @yahoo.com and ping it.. or so a fsockscheck .. that would stop people from putting asdaasdasdas@asdasdasasd.com on ur mailing list.

which in the will make ur smtp server have full of bad emails.

or.. u can make them activate it via email.. lolz.

oh yeah.. hanno..
u should try programming ur scripts without register_globals On...
register globals on the security leak on ur script.

instead of something like $action u should use $_POST['action']

one more tip; <form action='$PHP_SELF' method='post'>
if u sending it to the same file.. u dont need to put action='$PHP_SELF'
just remove that... we only use $PHP_SELF ( or rather $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) wen we are targeting a place in the file.. like so. action='<? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>?op=soemthing'

Almost nothing to add. PLEASE don't rely on register_globals, every self-respecting webhost will have it turned off due the the major security risk if scripts are poorly scripted, like the script here.
You might also want to review your scriptingstyle, proper indenting makes it alot easier to read.

I'm sorry if this looks like a flame, it's not intented to be a flame, just some advice.

EDIT: Oh and John, it should be

PHP Code:

<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>

Forgot the echo ;)
I wouldn't ping every host, it will only cause an extra delay in the script execution I think. Email activation sounds better.
