Messages not being distributed
by Steve Thomas 21 Jun '02

I just moved mail delivery for my domain from from server A to server B, and now messages sent to the lists on server B aren't being delivered. Un/Subscriptions (with confirmations) and digests work, but when a message is sent to the list itself it just goes *poof* and disappears. No dead.letter files (that I can find), LOGABSTRACT is set to yes, but logging stops after the message is added to the digest folder. Any ideas? Is this a known problem that's been seen before? I'm on RH 7.2 (kernel 2.4.9-31), procmail 3.21-1 (rpm) and smartlist 3.15. I installed smartlist using the procmail 3.15 source tree. Could the problem be with using a newer version of the procmail binary? TIA, Steve

rc scripts
by Martin MOKREJŠ 20 Jun '02

Hi, is there anywhere in docs explained what id the meaning of these scripts? I cannot find it anywhere! :( I always hoped rc.local.s* means possibly "send" but rc.local.r* means "receive" or maybe "resend"? I had to put in form of each rc.* script line like: LOG="rc.local.XX begin: " XXXXXX LOG="rc.local.XX end " to trace them. So, I figured out they are executed in order rc.init rc.custom rc.local.r00 ??? rc.local.s10 rc.local.s20 BUT!!! My calls to html-trap got bypassed today, as it seems rc.local.r00 is executed only when the senders address is not on the accept list .... :( So it the rc.local.r* means "reject", right? Arrgh. Could someone clearly state the naming convention, order seems from lowest to highest number. Which scripts are always executed and which only in some tricky conditions? Attached you can find diff of the early beginning of procmail's processing a message. The one was catched from from address not on the list, the second which bypassed checks and got accidentally through was sent from address on the list. Maybe I'm totally wrong with my guesses, could then someone tell me why execution diverged in those 2 cases?

Header.txt text missing in repeatable case
by dreambig.ap＠pobox.com 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

Can you help me troubleshoot this SmartList problem? I searched the smartlist archives but couldn't find reference to this... Problem: Text in the header.txt file is -not- included in an email if a file is attached to the email. Additional information: * The problem does not happen if the email does not include any attachments. * The proper SmartList files are set up (header.txt, rc.custom and rc.local.s20) correctly because the header text does display in emails without attachments. I don't know where to start troubleshooting this. I just started using the basic features of SmartList for 'announcement-only' emails to a mailing list. Can you point me to where the cause might be? Thanks in advance. Abbo

Confirm Configuration
by Dean F. Mapa 13 Jun '02

Hi! Can anyone please send me the confirm codes? I don't know how to decompress tar.gz files. Or point me to a URL where I can download the confirm codes without decompressing anything. Also, is there a way to block off web-based servers such as Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.? Thanks! Dean

The links http://www.procmail.org/procmail-3.22/ http://www.procmail.org/SmartList-3.15/ http://www.procmail.org/procmail-beta/ causing a loop with my Netscape browser and leading to a foreign site with lynx. I want to have access to the development sources or CVS archive if available. Werner

I have set up my new list as a moderator - I've got it uncommented in the correct file and placed Approved: myemailaddress here in the headers and sent it out to the list. Nothing is going to the list though. Did I leave something out? thanks! for your help donna
