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

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

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...

help for new administrator

Thanks to all who answered my call for help. For the moment I am dealing with "nomail" by removing the addresses from the "dist" file while keeping them in the "accept" file. I don't think this particular list will generate enough traffic to need automation. It is a list for distributors of experimental and avant-garde film and video, and there are only about two dozen to speak of. -Pip Chodorov

Charlie said: "Smartlist does not have capabilities out-of-the-box to permit "disable mail" (receive suspension), "receive digests" (smartlist deals with digests as seperate lists), or "receive copies of their own posts" (there is no way for a subscriber NOT to receive copies of their own posts)." In the .bin directory within the 'subscribe' script (lines #'s are according to my distro): 90: NOT_METOO="" 91: 92: #$formail -k -xSubject: <$tmprequest | 93: # $grep 'no.*[^a-z]cop.*[^a-z]please' >/dev/null && NOT_METOO=" (-n)" 94: 95: $multigram -a "$subscraddr$NOT_METOO" dist >/dev/null 96: 119: # if $test -z "$NOT_METOO" 120: # then 121: $echo "By default, copies of your own submissions will be returned." 122: # else 123: # $echo "As requested, copies of your own submissions will not be returned." 124: # fi Not sure what this means, but it could mean that this can be uncommented to have no copy returned to sender, when sender has subscribed with 'no copy please' included in the subject field, however why one would want to do this, i am not entirely sure?? (Aside: I apologize, because i had to mess with the subject by removing a 'Re:' in order to make my mail client send this!!) --Joyce

help for new administrator

Hello, I just created a list using smartlist and I would like some information, please, if anyone can help. What do I tell new subscribers they should do if they want to change their subscription options (disable mail, receive digests, receive copies of their own posts...). Or how can I change those options for them? I see a valuable ressource for this "smartlist" group: membership configuration is available on a website. But my group does not have a website. Sorry if this question seems very basic but I could not find this information in the manual or the FAQ, unless I wasn't looking in the right place. Any help would be appreciated, Pip Chodorov pip-distlist(a)re-voir.com
