qmail processes on Smartlist
by Zhiliang Hu 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

The Smartlist on my system used to send list mails in batches of 20 at a time, each batch takes about 2-3 seconds, then next batch immediately follow. Recently I notice it *sometimes* take a very long "idle" gap between each batch -- about 2-4 minutes, during which the system is not busy, and qmail is not busy: qmails 2764 1 0 Jan28 ? 00:00:15 qmail-send qmaill 2770 2764 0 Jan28 ? 00:00:08 splogger qmail root 2772 2764 0 Jan28 ? 00:00:01 qmail-lspawn | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/procmail qmailr 2773 2764 0 Jan28 ? 00:00:13 qmail-rspawn qmailq 2774 2764 0 Jan28 ? 00:00:01 qmail-clean This way, a mail used to take under 5 minutes to distribute now takes more than half an hour. I wonder what may cause this behavior change? Zhiliang

Recipe Dissection
by Gregory Higgins 06 Nov '08

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?

Re: Problems with multigram

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.

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

Re:"=20" etc symbols
by Zhiliang Hu 07 Oct '08

Thanks Charlie for sharing, "demime.pl" doesn't seem to be in the Smartlist distributions, nor I could easily find it by Googled resources. Would you mind sharing where can I get it? The most likely site http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html seems to be down. Or is it a Mailman goodie?

"=20" etc symbols
by Zhiliang Hu 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

I set my list to allow plain text only (no hyper text, no attachment, etc). Occasionally, there are mails through the list having symbols like "=20", " =", etc in the mail body (within the text). I used to use a perl recipe from this list (or procmail list; sometimes ago) to clean them: perl -pe 's/=([0-9a-f][0-9a-f])/sprintf "%c", hex($1)/ige; s/=\n/\n/' but it's not always effective. They used to appear often from European mails, but now some US orignated mail also have it. I wonder what exactly are they and is there a better way clean them out? Zhiliang

dropping rejects
by Michael Shulman 29 Aug '08

Hi, Can I configure smartlist to *not* send rejected messages to the list maintainer? I am getting a *lot* of spam rejected from a list, that is filling up my mailbox every few days. Thanks! Mike

Virtual Mailbox Postfix
by Lineu Paiva 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hello, Let me ask you if SmartList will work in my Postfix installation. I'm using postfix with virtual mailboxes, as you can see in the howto i did used: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_and_domains_with_postfix_debian_etch I'm using Debian and so far i tried to install smartlist package with "apt" and configure postfix, i couldn't send e-mails to any list created with smartlist. At main.cf, i made the following change: virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf, hash:/etc/aliases At /etc/aliases, ######################################################################## testlist: "|/var/list/.bin/flist testlist" testlist-request: "|/var/list/.bin/flist testlist-request" ######################################################################## As i try to send mail to testlist(a)mydomain.br, i get the response from MAILER-DAEMON(a)mydomain.br: The mail system <"|/var/list/.bin/flist testlist"@mydomain.br> (expanded from <testlist(a)mydomain.br>): unknown user: "|/var/list/.bin/flist testlist(a)mydomain.br" Well, i just kicked the ball, don't have any idea if it's supposed to work or not. thanks, Paiva
