You will need a server side solution.

You have to do it server side. If this is truly for a mailnig list, then ask
your ISP if they already have mailing list software running on their
servers. You might find that they do, then all you need to do is feed the
list with your form.

Could someone tell me what is involved in gathering a list of email addresses.
I am a newbie and do not know what it takes. What I want to do is place a
textbox on my page to allow people to subscribe by giving me an email address
so that I can send them updates and info by email. Is there an free exchange
for MX that will help me set this up? I looked but don't know what I am looking
for.
