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']. 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

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...

Strange unsubscribe behavior
by Irwin Lazar 22 Apr '02

22 Apr '02

I had a strange occurrence this morning with one of my mailing lists. User2 unsubscribed, and the list removed User1, who is another list member from the same domain. The log file entry is below (names/domains changed to protect the innocent): X997 user1(a)domain.com 24689 user2(a)domain.com Removed: user1(a)domain.com You have been removed from the list..X unsubscribe: 997 user1(a)domain.com 24689 user2(a)domain.com by: user2(a)domain.com Fri Feb 15 09:31:56 EST 2002 Why would this happen? Thanks in advance, Irwin

Pb moderator and attachment
by Frédéric Léger 03 Mar '02

03 Mar '02

Hi, I am using smartlist with a moderator and it is working fine but I've got a problem when I approve a message containing attachment. It seems that it does not recognize my approvement and send it back to me instead of diffusing it. Have you got an idea about this problem ?? Thanks.

Recipient Address in body or header?
by Barry A. Trent 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Does anyone know if it is possible to get smartlist to include in the body of the message (or as an additional header) the actual address from the dist file that each message is sent to? Frequently messages to my list bounce back to me from forwarded accounts which have expired, and I can't track down the bad address in my dist file. If I could see the original address as part of the bounced message it would make life much easier. +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Barry Trent Madness takes its toll -- have exact | | Triticom change ready! | | Box 46427 | | Eden Prairie, MN 55344 (The usual disclaimers apply) | +-------------------------------------------------------------+

moderator and attachment PB
by Frédéric Léger 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Hi, Has anybody had an idea about why smartlist does not work when I attach a file to a message using a moderator. It works fine without attachment. I saw that the header of the message is different if there is or not an attachment, but I thought smartlist was smart enough to face the eventuality ?! Well, if somebody know something, please, help me !!! Thanks.

X-Command's in subject or body
by Martin MOKREJŠ 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Hi, I'm trying out to figure what is the syntax for unsubscription. I looks if I use the code from http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/SmartList-FAQ.html#Section_3.2 that users have to say: Subject: X-Command: unsubscribe , right? It also applies to the message body, right? Can someone explain me the sentence "Now X-Commands can go at the top of the message body. Add a blank line between the X-Commands and any other message content (as for instance with moderator approval)." from the above URL? Can you post an example of such moderator approval? I'm sorry for such stupid question, although I have been using majordomo for years and procmail for 2 years, smartlist is not that intuitive and the docs are not clear to me. :( TIA -- Martin Mokrejs - PGP5.0i key is at http://www.natur.cuni.cz/~mmokrejs MIPS / Institute for Bioinformatics <http://mips.gsf.de> GSF - National Research Center for Environment and Health Ingolstaedter Landstrasse 1, D-85764 Neuherberg, Germany tel.: +49-89-3187 3616 , fax: +49-89-3187 3585

Could anyone help me.
