eliminating the welcome email after a user signs up for a contact list

[ReneeD5]

Is there a way to eliminate the welcome email that a contact receives after signing up on a list?

Hi ReneeD5,

If you change the OptinSource node in the Contact XML to

<OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER</OptInSource>

A welcome letter will not be sent as this is seen by our system as YOU adding the contact much like you can add contacts to your account via our website and no welcome letter will be generated.  

I hope this helps.  Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks,
