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?

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...

Recipe Dissection
by Gregory Higgins 06 Nov '08

This comes directly from SmartList/etc/rc.request (i.e., it is an unmodified installation file). Consider this recipe: # # Is it an archive retrieval command? # :0 HB w * 9876543210^0 ^^(.+$)*Subject:[ ]*(([(<]no(ne| subject\ ( (\(file transmission|given))?)[>)])?\ $(.+$)*(^[ ]*)+)?(archives?:?([ ]|$)|\ ((send|get)(me)?|gimme|retrieve|mail|ls|dir(ectory)?|list|show|\ search|[fe]?grep|find|maxfiles|version)([ ]+[^ ]*)?$) * 1^0 B ?? ^^([ ]|$)*\ ((archives?:?($|[ ]+)|\ ((send|get)(me)?|gimme|retrieve|mail|ls|dir(ectory)?|\ list|show|search|[fe]?grep|find|maxfiles|version|help|info)\ ([ ].*)?$)([ ]|$)*)+\ ([^ a-z].*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$)?)?)?)?)?^^ { :0 W * 9876543210^0 !restrict_archive ?? y * 2^0 ? formail -rt -R To: "From " -X "From " | \ multigram -b1 -m -l$submit_threshold -L$domain \ -x$listaddr -x$listreq accept accept2 | arch_retrieve :0 E fhw | formail -A "X-Diagnostic: Not on the accept list" } As I remember, this is supposed to be a complete recipe; so where is the closing parenthesis for 9876543210^0 ^^(.+$)*Subject:[ ]*____(____([(<]no(ne| subject\ the marked left paren supposed to go? Ditto for # # Is it an unsubscription request? # :0 EHB * 9876543210^0 ^^(.+$)*Subject:[ ]*____(____[(<]no(ne| subject\ and # # Is it a subscription request? # :0 EHB * 9876543210^0 ^^(.+$)*Subject:[ ]*____(____[(<]no(ne| subject\ and # # Is it an info or help request?

Thanks; that was helpful. It reminded me that I had modified SmartList a decade ago so that it did work that way, and that I needed to go find a copy of my changes. I did and now things are working the way they are supposed to be working for my site. It had been so long since I had really studied Smartlist recipes that I had forgotten all about it. Thanks again for taking the time to dissect the messages. -- Greg On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 8:57 PM, Cary Coutant <ccoutant(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> procmail: Executing "multigram,-b1,-l30730,reject" >> >> procmail: Non-zero exitcode (1) from "multigram" >> >> procmail: No match on "multigram -b1 -l30730 reject" > > This just means that the address you were trying to subscribe was not > on the "reject" list.

[Sorry if this is a duplicate. I sent it earlier from the wrong email account.] > procmail: Executing "multigram,-b1,-l30730,reject" > > procmail: Non-zero exitcode (1) from "multigram" > > procmail: No match on "multigram -b1 -l30730 reject" This just means that the address you were trying to subscribe was not on the "reject" list.

No problem here either. > procmail: No match on "y" This means that you haven't enabled auto_subscribe. This is probably your problem. This isn't going to do what you expect anyway. Sending a message to the -request address with "subscribe" in the subject will add you, the *sender*, to the list -- not the address you give after the "subscribe" command. If you as the list maintainer are trying to repopulate all your lists, you should be using X-Commands. In rc.custom, set X_COMMAND_PASSWORD to a password of your choice, then you can send a message to the -request address with an X-Command header like this: X-Command: you(a)example.com PASSWORD subscribe someone(a)example.com Where you(a)example.com is the maintainer and someone(a)example.com is the address you want to subscribe. You can even send multiple commands in one message: X-Command: you(a)example.com PASSWORD subscribe someone(a)example.com subscribe someoneelse(a)example.com See section 2 of .etc/Manual for more details. -cary
