Hello: Does SmartList have an archiving and (hopefully user friendly) search capability? [I'm not interested in the archives of this Disc List, but of the list I run for my 'users']. Thanks, Mitch Darer -- Mitchell Darer, WebMaster, mitch(a)focusing.org The Focusing Institute, 34 East Lane, Spring Valley, NY 10977 http://www.focusing.org (845) 362-5222 (phone/fax)

Re: does anyone find it ironic that smartlist mailing list is using Mailman?
by Charlie Summers 19 Jul '18

At 11:41 AM -0400 7/28/00, Werner Reisberger is rumored to have typed: > I never saw any > admin reply to the numerous complains about spam messages. Actually, that's not _strictly_ true, since I remember when Stephen was actually maintaining the list (and probably anally have archives of the list from that time somewhere on some floppy or MO cart from a long time ago and far far away). But you're right, it's been _years_ since he's been around. However, the list belongs to the maintainer (or at least the machine's admin), not the members. You'll get no argument from me that the list should be moved (I believe I said exactly that a couple of times), but to suggest the admins need to take a poll to ask what they may or may not do with the existing list is silly, to say the least. They are certainly able to move this list to mailman without the list subscriber's permission - indeed, they _have_ done so, which makes my point for me. Whether we should move this list to a SmartList server is a completely seperate issue...one which Philip should probably weigh in on, since he is now maintaining the procmail/SmartList source and as such the de facto head of our band of merry wanderers...

blocking a reply
by O'Rourke, Tom (CTR) 27 Jan '02

Greetings, Is it possible to block the reply of certain individuals from being distributed to a mailing list? Their accounts have been removed and it is only possible for certain people to post to the list. However, neither one of these options eliminates the possibility of these unwanted individuals from responding. Thanks in advance. Tom O'Rourke

I want to remove html attachments from postings but the links in the FAQ don't work and seems to be quite old. Could someone give me a working solution for the removal of this garbage? Werner

How to? Prevent subscribers from posting to a list...
by Jonathan Stahl 27 Apr '01

27 Apr '01

Greetings, I have been perusing through the manuals and FAQs and have been testing, but just cannot seem to get this idea to work: 1. I need a list for people to subscribe to (done and working) 2. The owner/admin/whatever of the list sends an announcement/newsletter/alert (done and working) 3. Those who receive the email should NOT be able to Reply to the entire list; reply the owner/admin is okay. I have tried the foreign_submit idea, and attempted other measures, but cannot seem to get it where REPLY-ALL will not send to the entire list. What needs to be done to make this happen? Thank you for your input. Jonathan

Dear all, Does any one can help............please ??? Thanks and regards, Kevin Chan ----- Original Message ----- From: senthil To: Kevin Chan Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 6:50 AM Subject: Re: How to set quota from procmail ? Hi all I am having the same problem here. But I am using Redhat Linus 6.2 . I tried with other mail parsers like mail drop and all but to no help. Is there any good suggestions. Regards Senthil Sys Admin YIPL Bangalore ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Chan To: procmail(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2001 10:23 AM Subject: How to set quota from procmail ? Dear all, I was set-up the sendmail in my Linux RedHat 7.0 Server and it was working fine. As I know RedHat is using procmail for delivery agent. Also, I was set-up the quote for all user from /etc/fstab ( 6M for each user) but it seem doesn't work on procmail . Because I was send 5 e-mails in same user and each mail around 2M, it seem I can send all mail (around 10M) because no error message but I only received 3 mails back. Please tell me how I can fix this problem because I would like to set the quote for all user and if the quote was excess then the sender will get the error message. Thanks a lot. Please teach me how I can config the procmail to resolve my problem. Also, how I can improve the login time when I try to send/receive mail from Microsoft Outlook Express because I feel it take longer than I am using Microsoft Exchange Server before. Thanks a lot !

careless replies
by Werner Reisberger 17 Apr '01

17 Apr '01

Just a remark for better readability. Please don't reply to a list message if you really want to write a new one. This creates a faked thread like the following in every mail client which uses Message-Id and In-Reply-To header fields for thread display: 29 04/09 O'Rourke, Tom ( (1.6K) blocking a reply 30 04/10 Ken Bass (1.6K) => More smartlist problems 31 04/10 CueMan (1.4K) => Moderation setup questions... We are professionals, aren't we? ;) Werner -- Werner Reisberger pgp-public-key available: Viktoriastr. 15 http://www.pure.ch/mypubkey.txt CH-8057 Zurich

MS Outlook Express
by Ken Bass 16 Apr '01

16 Apr '01

Anyone know how to get a digest to appear more friendly to users of MS Outlook Express. Basically, each part of the digest is a separate attachment rather than a message that can be easily clicked. I'm trying to figure this out so I can allow the mailing list users to send in a "set digest to 'im using lame ms software'" and send those people MS outlook compatible digests. Any ideas? Some MIME type other than multipart/digest?
