There are many ways to do what you are asking. In fact, you can do it with plain HTML by doing this:

But that is labour intensive, since you have to add their email address by hand to your list.

Or you can use CGI programming (or other server side scripting languages) that can also interface with databases. These are most common, and the most common of THESE would be http://www.worldwidemarts.com/scripts/ (click on Form Mail).

Again, you would have to add the address by hand, but at least formmail offers some basic form checking.

You may want to investigate the listbots (search for that term) that allow people to submit their email addresses to a list and then when you send out a newsletter, everyone on the list gets it, and you don't have to worry about doing it yourself.
