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?

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?

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...

hi Jon, I'm not sure whether this could help, but some of the lists I am subscribed to, send periodically an email to all subscriptors, reminding them that they are subscribed and how to unsubscribe. You could use a simple shell script to do the job. It should send a customized message to each address in your list, and the message should include the subscribed address (ie, the one in your list) and a note instructing the user to bounce back the message in case they cannot unsubscribe by themselves. That way you should know which address to remove. Miquel > Hi People > > I use Smartlist to maintain a large list for newsletters.

Pardon the interruption but a quick Q

Hi People I use Smartlist to maintain a large list for newsletters. However because of mail forwarding some recipients cannot get off the list automatically and I cannot figure out how they got the email. How can I customise each email with the original recipient in the email so I can remove them manually? I presume that I have to add a custom footer in rc.local.s20 as per the FAQ footer.template file looks like: If you have trouble unsubscribing automatically email me here mailto:me@here.com -S trouble unsubcribing $ORG_TO Then add the following to the rc.local.s20 file # # Appending a recipient address to every outgoing mail for unsub problems: # :0 fbw ORG_TO=`formail -cXTo: | head -1` | sed 's/\$ORG_TO/'"$ORG_TO"/g footer.template >footer.txt | cat - footer.txt Again my apologies for the intrusion jon Prof Jon Jenkins MLC Parliament House Macquarie Street Sydney NSW 2000 Sydney Office Ph/Fax 02-9230-2752/2205 Nth Coast Office Ph/Fax 02-6676-2947/1543 Mob 0429178817 jon(a)trac.org.au www.trac.org.au
