    I was wondering if there is a way to do this. Basically I want to have my "prospects" list through aweber, but when they sign up for amember membership, I want them to be unsubbed from the aweber "prospect" list.

    Possible?

    There is a plugin floating around that does this and you would need to contact amember about it- officially, aweber does not allow any automated subscribe/unsubscribe by unknown 3rd party sites.

    This leaves you with placing an aweber form on the amember thanks.html page.

    There is a method to unsubscribe a user from your own AWeber list using a specially formatted email message.

    Please read the KB article linked below for specifics, but basically you need to have aMember send an automated email from a pre-registered email address (read the article) that is formatted something like

    To: yourlistname@aweber.com
    Subject: REMOVE#users@emailaddress.com#CategoryTag

    That would remove "users@emailaddress.com" from "yourlistname" and tag it with whatever you put into "CategoryTag"

    So you need aMember to generate and mail this formatted email to yourlistname@aweber.com

    Not sure exactly how to do that as I didn't look into it, but I came across the article linked below when I was looking for something else today.

    Please read the article before attempting =)

    I think the original Aweber plugin from aMember also handles unsubscribes like the way radmoose describes it.

    You might want to log a support ticket to check with them.
