choplist: one recipient per message
by blah fnord 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to get smartlist (choplist) to pass just one recipient per message to sendmail. I've tried the obvious in rc.init with the following settings: minnames = 1 # minimum number of names per call mindiffnames = 1 # minimum for maxnames-minnames maxnames = 2 # maximum number of names per call maxsplits = 0 # maximum number of parts to split dist in maxsize = 200000 # maximal disk space to be taken up per mail maxconcur = 0 # maximum number of concurrent sendmail calls but it just doesn't seem to work. I know choplist is using the configured values to call sendmail because I can see something like "choplist 1 1 2 0 sendmail -t -odb -odq....." in the logs. There are still 3,000-5,000 (for instance @aol.com) recipeints per message getting lumped together. The reason this is a problem is because as an anti-spam precaution, mail servers are rejecting connections from other servers that appear to be spamming and then my newsletter doesn't get delivered to many people. Does have a solutions for getting no more than 2 recipients per message? Thanks very much!!! _________________________________________________________________ Click, drag and drop.

Hi there list, Name here is Scott. I just installed Smartlist a few days ago. I am having trouble accessing the .bin and also the .etc directories for Smartlist. I am wondering if any one can tell me what to chown them to and chgrp and chmod them too. Thanks for the help.

Re: "Approved: <pwd>" anywhere in the body is letting the post through

Nishi -- Perhaps it's possible that your list has been tweaked to allow commands in the email body, something like what's discussed at http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/SmartList-FAQ.html#Section_3.2 But different in that I believe .examples/rc.local.r00 wants list commands at the very top...? In any case, I guess it's time to change the moderator password. :-) -ph On Sat, Jan 31, 2004 at 10:21:54PM -0600, Nishikant Kapoor wrote: > I have a moderated list that seems to be working just fine.

"Approved: <pwd>" anywhere in the body is letting the post through
by Nishikant Kapoor 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

I have a moderated list that seems to be working just fine. However, I just noticed that some postings that had "approved: <list_pwd>" in the body made it directly to the list, requiring no moderator approval. The strange part is that "approved: <list_pwd>" was the starting line in the very first posting (how that happened, no idea!) but all the subsequent 'replies' simply quoted it and got through. I was looking through the list archives but couldn't find any post talking about this problem. Thanks, Nishi
