I am extremely disappointed that I still cannot pull reports on subscribers who have not opened or clicked any of my emails over a specified period of time. Telling me to create a spreadsheet and combine single reports on a list the size of almost 200,000 is ridiculous considering other email providers offer this service and have been for some time. I'm afraid if I don't see this service soon I will be searching for a new provider.

No that did not work. Contact is still on list 419 only. One thing I just thought to mention is that even though the initial contact creation was "ACTION_BY_CONTACT" I went in to our admin and moved it to 419 as I was unable to it through the API. I suspect that is why it changed to "ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER". Don't know if that creates a problem but if so I need a way of updating a contact's list if they choose to subscribe to different email lists using the API even if they were updated through admin.

Hello, I have been working on a script that allows users to sign up or opt out for our newsletter through our website. I have been able to successfully create contacts but I can't seem to change or remove lists they are subscribed to using the API. I have verified that the lists exist and I am using the PUT method and I do get a valid XML response when I make the request. Here is an example of the xml being sent using the PUT method: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</entry> The response shows that the email is still set to list ID 419 even though I specified an ID of 1 in the request. One thing that has me scratching my head is why the opt-in source says "ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER" when the contact was created using the API with that set to "ACTION_BY_CONTACT". Thx in advance, John
