Thanks Santiago, I got helps from someone in our university to convert it to a rpm. The installation was smooth -- "100%" ... "installed". Although "rpm -qa smartlist" gives "smartlist-3.15-21" but I cannot find where it is installed. I suppose it is the binaries (everything in ~smartlist/.bin) got installed. Could you give more hints as how to piece things together with rpm install?

Thank you for all the replies. Unfortunately this RHEL5 64-bit Dell machine is what I have to live with (moving everything out -- including many databases/applications -- from the old machine to the new one). Has anyone ever complied it on a RHEL5 64-bit system? Zhiliang

And I've been happily using it with Sendmail on a 64bit UltraSPARD machine for years.

64 bit?
by Zhiliang Hu 19 Aug '09

I have struggled for some time to install Smartlist on a newer machine (RH linux) but fails. The same install process works on older machines). The diagnoses seem to point to the shell (sh -> bash) problems/versions. Now we realize this new machine is 64 bit -- Is there a 64-bit Smartlist source codes available, or the current code is already 64-bit compatible? Thanks, Zhiliang

I try to make the Smartlist to work with qmail. qmail is working fine. Upon sending a mail to a Smartlist list, nothing on the list side is seen, and the /var/log/maillog shows: Aug 11 15:47:39 db3 qmail: 1250023659.091760 new msg 25821488 Aug 11 15:47:39 db3 qmail: 1250023659.091807 info msg 25821488: bytes 1826 from <tom@somedomain$ Aug 11 15:47:39 db3 qmail: 1250023659.093674 starting delivery 50: msg 25821488 to local mylist$ Aug 11 15:47:39 db3 qmail: 1250023659.093993 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Aug 11 15:47:39 db3 procmail[18029]: Error while writing to "log" Aug 11 15:47:39 db3 sendmail[18034]: n7BKldCE018034: from=alias, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, msg$ Aug 11 15:47:39 db3 qmail: 1250023659.109784 delivery 50: success: flist:_Strange_group_or_user$ Aug 11 15:47:39 db3 qmail: 1250023659.109851 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Aug 11 15:47:39 db3 qmail: 1250023659.109873 end msg 25821488 although I had my list permissons as: drwxrwxr-x 11 slist slist 4.0K Jul 31 13:30 slist drwxr-sr-x 8 slist slist 4.0K Aug 5 19:25 slist/mylist -rw-rw-rw- 1 slist slist 0 Aug 5 19:25 slist/mylist/log What could be wrong?

setting up Smartlist with sendmail
by Zhiliang Hu 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

I am setting up Smartlist on a new RedHat GNU/Linux 2.6.18 machine with Sendmail. The configurations are like: 1. /etc/aliases: newlist: "|flist newlist" newlist-request: "|flist newlist-request" 2. /etc/smrsh/flist -> /usr/local/slist/.bin/flist 3. /var/mail/.etc -> /usr/local/slist/.etc When tested mail to "newlist", it's not sent to the list but appended to /var/spool/mail/mail (nothing written to /usr/local/slist/newlist/log , nor any mail deposited to /usr/local/slist/newlist/archive/latest/) The /var/log/maillog says mail accepted for delivery, then next line it says "timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input" Any suggestion what could be the problem and where should I check further? Thanks, Zhiliang
