3rd party Newlsetter signup on authentication.php

Hi,

My mailing list is with MailChimp, and I intend to use their API (click here to see their API page or see attached example of simple PHP API implementation) rather than the block newletter module. All fine so far.

However, I don't want people being added to the Prestashop mailing list when they opt in the the newsletter on authentication.php. How can I change this so that they are signed up to my MailChimp list instead using the API?

Any ideas? It just doesn't make sense to have half the list in one place and half in another and constantkt exporting the list is not particularly ideal either

Hmm - can anyone at least tell me what bit of code deals with the newsletter checkbox on authentication.php? Is it just this bit:

    $customer = new Customer();
       if (Tools::isSubmit('newsletter'))
       {
           $customer->ip_registration_newsletter = pSQL($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
           $customer->newsletter_date_add = pSQL(date('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
       }

Bump! I'd also really love to know how to do this.
