I've been working on this for the whole day and have been browsing the boards for a solution. However I haven't been able to find a way here to make it possible to use the Double-Opt-In with Mutiple Mailing Lists.
However, I've been able to find a way to do this by piecing suggestions on the forum here in a working solution. I know there are many here that have been struggling to get this to work, so I'll explain to the best of my ability what I did. Please forgive me if I'm not clear, I'm not a programmer nor am I an expert with the software.
Summarization:
This is the process I went through to allow me to create a working form that allows users to subscribe to multiple mailing lists, and be able to subscribe using the Double-Opt-In feature (email confirmation). This is done one 6.0.1 (Vmware edition).
In order for this to work, I have no choice but to subscribe all users to the default built-in maillist (Mailing List 1) that is included. However, I don't intend to use this maillist for any other purpose so I don't forsee a problem with this.
To start, I edited the default en_doi form with the following:

After this is done, save the form. The next step is to go to Actions in the control panel, then edit the doi_user_confirm action.
The changes to make are:
Add a second step to "Load Reciepient Data."
Be sure that "Load even if customer is not a active subscriber " is selected.
Add a third step, to include Script Action. Enter the below code (with amendments mentioned below):
Code: Select all

If you look at the script, there's 11 entries. One for each mailing list. You will want to be sure you have the correct amount for the mailing lists that you have.
Anyhow, I hope this helps others that are trying to accomplish the same thing! If you have questions, I probably can't really answer them, but I can certainly try.
Good luck!
