Smartlist Confirmation Email
by Alan Northam 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

I am a new user of smartlist and when I subscribed to receive the newsletter I was sent a confirmation email which surprised me because I am using smarlist for my mailing list and it does not send out a confirmation email when someone subscribes to the list. How can I get smartlist to send a confirmation email when someone joins my list? Thanks for your help! Alan,

smartlist blocking daemon submissions that are wanted by list users
by Gregory Malsack 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

Hello All, I just started using smartlist. I have the smart list setup with the address support(a)data-direct.com. That address is supposed to receive backup and ups notifications from our customers and send them to the techs in our office. However, I noticed that the backup and ups e-mails are considered daemons and just get dropped into the request file. How can I modify the support list config to allow submissions from these daemons? Sincerely, Gregory Malsack Technical Sales & Service Manager Data Direct/Data Vista Inc. Voice: (262) 790-1188 Fax: (262) 790-1195 Mobile: (414) 530-9552

Has anyone created a configuration that lets them to this? If so, could you let me know how or send me a copy of your configuration files? Thanks in advance, Joe

user subscription by email
by Tony Grimes 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Hi My company will be switching to smartlist from majordomo in the couple weeks. I'm new to this list and do not have access to the installed documentation, so I have a couple quick questions. I've written a web form script for our clients to subscribe to our majordomo lists (we have several) using sendmail and I have to modify it for smartlist. Can anyone tell me the email syntax needed for the script to add an email address to multiple lists? For example, this is the syntax I used for majordomo (contained in the message body): subscribe user(a)company.com list1-l subscribe user(a)company.com list2-l subscribe user(a)company.com list3-l Is there a similar feature in smartlist? What email address would this message be sent to? I found a related question in the faq at: http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/SmartList-FAQ.html#Section_2.5 but I would like to have the email address and lists specified in the message body and not the header. Any help would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Tony Grimes Webmaster PPDM Association http://www.ppdm.org

Hi all - I am using Smartlist preinstalled by my hosting co. When I try to "administer" the list I receive a success message, but nothing happens... Nothing is sent to the maintainers email, no users are subscribed to the list. I have no idea why this is, and my host company has told me that it is working. I really nee to solve this quickly. Thanks much, Josh _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

How to *not* forward "Already on the subscriber list" to the list owner?
by Rene Pijlman 05 Aug '01

05 Aug '01

Can Smartlist be configured to *not* forward messages with the "Already on the subscriber list" x-diagnostic to the list owner? As a list owner I don't think I need to see this message every time someone tries to subscribe twice. Don't ask me why, but with my list this happens quite often. I think this event can safely be ignored. Regards, René Pijlman
