How to add "Your are subscribed as ..." in the email body
by Cedant Web Hosting 23 Jan '04

23 Jan '04

Is it possible to make the footer of the email list the person that the email was sent to. For example at the bottom of the email body, it would be able to say "You are subscribed as $user(a)$somedomain.com where it would put the users actual email address that received that letter. Thanks, Thomas

Which procmail version for latest SmartList?
by Hans-Albert Schneider 23 Nov '03

23 Nov '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi all, I am running some SmartList based mailing lists since many years now. I am going to upgrade from SL 3.15. In the past, the procmail version required for SmartList always had the same version number as SL, but now, the most recent versions are SL 3.15 and procmail 3.22. So, my question is: Should I use procmail 3.22 or 3.15.2 for SmartList 3.15?

Help, please. Mail ditribution doesn't work...
by Yuri Shchedov 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hello all, I tried to install Smartlist 3.15 on my Linux box but I cannot get it worked properly. Maintainer address: eye-admin(a)strace.net Domain name: sphinx.strace.net mailing list: t(a)sphinx.strace.net When I subscribe e-mails everything works fine. One letter comes to subscriber and one multigram letter arrives to mailbox of maintainer. Showdist command shows correct values too. When I send message to t(a)sphinx.strace.net, nobody gets messages except maintainer. I tried to use listname-dist alias in sendmail aliases.db but it doesn't work too. To make clean output I made new "t" mailing list and subscribe two new addresses. Than I sent test message to t(a)sphinx.strace.net. Message was received by maintainer only (eye-admin(a)stace.net). Here is the dist file, aliases and logfile. DIST FILE: (Only addresses below this line can be automatically removed) ygs(a)strace.net sales(a)strace.net ALIASES: t: "|exec /home/slist/.bin/flist t" t-request: "|exec /home/slist/.bin/flist t-request" I put LOG FILE to my http-server: http://sphinx.strace.net/SMARTLIST/log I'm very new to Smartlist and I cannot get right answer... Thanks, Yuri P.S. I tried to install procmail 3.15 and 3.22 without success.

From some addresses it's impossible to post into a smartlist
by ac 23 Oct '03

23 Oct '03

I've been having this problem too. (Addresses without a "." in the name are rejected by the list as well.) Today I found that emails sent from the Mac OSX email client and Yahoo webmail (from subscribed addresses) were rejected by SmartList and forwarded to the maintainer. When I sent emails from the same addresses using the mail() function in a quick php script, the emails were accepted and distributed to the list. I have also experienced an email address/client suddenly stop working. My client had been using the lists created with SmartList for months (using MS Outlook, I believe) when his emails mysteriously stopped being accepted by the list and delivered to the maintainer only. I'd be happy to foward headers from accepted and rejected emails to anyone who might be able to help out. Thanks, Andy

From some addresses it's impossible to post into a smartlist
by Vladislav Kasik 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hello I've been running a couple od mailing lists using smartlist for years. I'm using procmail version 3.22-5 (standard Redhat 7.3) + smartlist 3.15. Recently I've ran into a very strange problems which I think that it might be a bug or inconsistency in smartlist. From some email addresses it's impossible to post a message into a mailing list. The message gets bounced to the list maintainer. All I get in log file is: Subject: Folder: formail -R"From X-From_:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-To: -iRe 1440 In the bounced message header there is: X-Diagnostic: Already on the subscriber list X-Diagnostic: 4 xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.cz 32720 xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.cz The email is already on subscribe list of course, but other emails that are there too work fine. This mostly happens with emails containing . character in a name of a person. But not all of them, some work fine. Seems like some combination of mail header problems. Any suggestions or ideas what to do, or where the problem might be? Thanks in advance for help. Vladia

Which procmail version for lates SmartList?
by Hans-Albert Schneider 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hello list, after almost 4 years of successful and smooth use of SmartList 3.13.1 (the flist binary dates Nov 18, 1999) I consider to upgrade. [The 4 years refer to this particular release; I am a procmail/SmartList user since 1993 (that was version 2.7x, I think). And just as a curio: I sent my first subscribe request to the SL list even before Stephen had created it :-).] So I went to www.procmail.org to get the latest and greatest versions, and found procmail-3.22.tar.gz and SmartList-3.15.tar.gz. 3.22 and 3.15? In the past, the procmail and SmartList version numbers used to be the same: SmartList 3.13.1 required procmail 3.13.1, and so on for earlier versions, as far as I my memory reaches back. So, please bear with someone who returns after several years, and get me up-to-date again: Does SL 3.15 require procmail 3.15, or does it also work with procmail 3.22 without problem? Furthermore, the web page is confusing about the current stable version. First, it says "procmail version 3.22 released", then it says "The current stable version of procmail is 3.15.2.", later on, it says "With version 3.22, the 3.2x line of development is believed to be as stable and safe as the 3.15.x line of development." In the "Source code" section, both the HTTP and FTP links point to a procmail-3.22.tar.gz.

report a problem
by Zhiliang Hu 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

As the results of recent wild email "worms" clugging the internet, my smartlist has taken off hundreds of good email addresses off one of our research discussion lists (15% of total) due to repeated SMTP connection failure (time out), and the mail delivery has become VERY SLOW (for a mail it used to take 3 minutes to distribute, it now takes 5-7 days!). Anyone else experience similar? Although I can find those wrongly removed addresses from the log file and "manually" (with a script) add them back, I wonder can this community do something? Zhiliang
