How to use rc.local.s10.mhonarc ?
by Kapoor, Nishikant X 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

All, I am trying to use rc.local.s10.mhonarc from http://www.ha-schneider.de/software/smartlist/ to set up an archive for a mailing list. I have renamed rc.local.s10.mhonarc to rc.local.s30 and added following line to rc.custom RC_LOCAL_SUBMIT_30 = rc.local.s30 rc.local.s10 and rc.local.s20 are already in use and since I do not know how to merge the recipe in rc.local.s10.mhonarc with either of the two, I renamed it to rc.local.s30 and added a new line in rc.custom. Could someone please help me understand as to how it all works. Thanks Nishi

Archives?
by Mitchell Darer 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

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'].

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

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...

"approving" messages to unmoderated lists
by Eugene Eric Kim 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

I have an unmoderated SmartList mailing list with foreign_submit off. On a few occasions, subscribers have sent messages to the list, and have copied people who are not on the list. When those people respond, their messages bounce to the list maintainer (i.e. me). What's the right way to approve those messages, so that they do go to the list? I tried setting an Approved header, as you would if the list were moderated and the person was subscribed. This would work in Majordomo, regardless of whether the person were subscribed or the list were moderated. However, the message bounces back to me, presumably because the person is not subscribed. I've managed to do it by adding the person's e-mail address to accept2, and reforwarding the message to the list. I'm not crazy about this as a solution. Is there a correct way to accomplish this?

subscription probes
by Richard G. Ball 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

A while ago we had an on-list discussion about subscription probes for smartlist but I don't recall anyone posting a full drop-in set of scripts. One of the admins for a list I host has asked if I can put such a function in place and she'd like the probe to require an acive confirmation from the subscriber that the subscription is to continue (as opposed to the probe that does nothing unless the message bounces). Does anyone have such a script(s) they'd be willing to share?

I all, last week I began to move one list to another server (from SUSE 6.4 to Redhat 7.2). Smartlist works good as usual, but the moderate package doesn't work, please what's wrong ?
