I am setting up a front end from procmail recipes and perl scripts to Smartlist that creates lists on the basis of email requests. I am somewhat worried about nasty code coming in via an email, but the reason I ma writing is different. I want to stop Smartlist sending out a copy to the original sender of messages that come in to the list, just send it out to everyone else. I want to try and make writing to the list as much like writing to the person on the other end. [These are goign to be 2-person lists.] And this copy of your own message has disconcerted some of my students. I think it will be a matter of checking rc.submit. Perhaps I should be doing that rather than writing this email. Thinking about it, this could involve some work. The senders address will have to be deleted from the dist list, I think. -- Greg Matheson If there is one thing we learn from the Chinmin College, study of language learning, it is that Taiwan language learners learn more than we learn.
