Anyone either 1) send successful X-Commands in outlook 2000 to smartlist? or 2)use the doxcommand script to successfully issue commands to smartlist running in sendmail(where smartlist is installed)/ qmail (mail relay) environment? I'm getting bounced messages saying that relaying is denied when issuing doxcommands on the machine where smartlist is installed.. Thanks!

Shoveling messages to digest
by Mike Goins 11 May '01

11 May '01

Ok, after mungling through the archives. I already have had the digest list as a member of the main list and it is getting the emails, but apparently is rejecting them and I am assuming it is due to the `From`. Log of the digest list: >From akai-request(a)midicase.com Tue May 8 13:43:13 2001 Subject: Re: [Akai] More a musical question! Folder: formail -R"From X-From_:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-To: -iRea 2010 >From akai-request(a)midicase.com Tue May 8 15:03:00 2001 Subject: Re: [Akai] S5000 Amp mod problem Folder: formail -R"From X-From_:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-To: -iRea 1826 Looking at the Digest archive directory, I see the digest.xx files are not getting populated. I am also assuming that an alternate method is to have the main list send to the digest by way of the rc.local.s20. I'm having trouble finding an example of this. Would someone point me to an example? Also, since I have a few hundred messages that have not been making it to the digest is there a way to send them from the main list archive to the digest list?

Re:Proposed FAQ: Setting up multiple lists
by KEVIN ZEMBOWER 10 May '01

Yep, I'm a bonehead. Even before you wrote back, I slapped my forehead when reading section one. For some reason, when I read it through the first time, I didn't realize that "createlist testing" actually created a separate email list called testing, even though it's clearly stated so in the text. I don't know what I was thinking. I was maybe just fixated on finding the word "multiple" or "many" or something. Thank you again, for not making me feel more foolish than I deserve. -Kevin Zembower >>> Charlie Summers <charlie(a)lofcom.com> 05/09/01 02:44PM >>> At 1:59 PM -0400 5/9/01, KEVIN ZEMBOWER is rumored to have typed: > I searched the Manual Er...um...did you actually read SECTION ONE of the Manual file: > Contents: > --------- 1.

Look, you're working _way_ too hard. cd into your "main" SmartList directory (you know, the one with .bin/, .etc/, .examples/, et al) after suing or logging in as the owning user, and type: $ .bin/createlist <listname> <maintainer address> ...where, of course, you replace the information in bracksts. An example might be: $ .bin/createlist mysmartlist charlie(a)lofcom.com ...and then let SmartList do the work. This really isn't FAQ material, since it's covered COMPLETELY in the .etc/Manual file...you might want to sit down with a beverage and actually read that file carefully from start to finish. I disagree that you need to, or even SHOULD, stick /path/to/smartlist/.bin/ in your path (good lord, my path is big enough already, thanks), which is why I suggest the slightly different methodology above. That said, though, reading section ONE of the Manual file will pretty much tell you how to create a mailing list under SmartList...multiple lists are created _exactly_ the same way. What most of us do (I think) is create a single user named something like slist (or whatever you like) to control the lists; install SmartList in slist's user directory, then use createlist to create as many lists as you want, pointing aliases to "flist <thelistname>" (or do it the wacky way I do, sending everything to slist and using a _real_ .procmailrc file to distribute to the lists). Multiple installs of SmartList on a single machine are unnecessary, and would be really kinda messy. Charlie

Proposed FAQ: Setting up multiple lists
by KEVIN ZEMBOWER 10 May '01

10 May '01

I searched the Manual, FAQ, installation instructions and email list for the last year and still didn't find a clear explanation of how to set up multiple email lists on the same server. If I overlooked it, please just point it out. I'm a SmartList newbie; this is the first list I've ever set up in SmartList. Maybe this stuff is obvious to more experienced users. My questions: Do you have to set up a user account and create home directories for each email list desired? But, it shouldn't have the same user ID as the name of the mailinglist itself? OR, do you create subdirectories under /home/slist for each of the mailinglists you want? If so, do you run install.sh for each of these subdirectories, or just copy certain files to each of them? If you had to set up separate user IDs for each mailinglist, do you have to enter a Trusted User in the /etc/sendmail.cf file for each one? Then, do you run install.sh /home/mailinglist for each mailinglist? If you do this, must you, should you, or can you erase certain files or directories and hard link what they were to actual files and directories in /home/slist? Thanks for helping clear up my uncertainties as I set up my first SmartList. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.

getting Undeliverable messages back
by Lee Howard 10 May '01

10 May '01

I get a lot of "Undeliverable" messages back (directly to me, the submitter) after sending out a mail to our SmartList mailing lists. Example below. Can anybody tell me if I've got a problem with my Smartlist configuration, or if I need to do something to handle these? Presently, I've just redirected all of them to the list, hoping that it gets handled properly. Thanks.

Re:Main list -> Digest
by Mike Goins 09 May '01

09 May '01

I may have found the issue. Looking at the regular mailing list messages, I see all the messages are getting sent out as from the <list>-request@domain address. The digest is apparently rejecting these. Is this how the list is supposed to send messages? If now where do I change it. Thanks!
