Hello all,

I have a client who has certain requests for the newsletter that he is running which will be maintained by Smartlist.

He would like to receive a delivery confirmation basically telling him:

your message was delivered to the X number of recipients of the X list on X date at X time.

Tricky. You could possibly write something to parse the logs of the MTA that was actually doing the sending... or, alternatively, count the bounce responses. Or do you just mean that he wants a confirmation that the message has been _sent_ to the list? That's rather easier.

Is this possible, how would I implement this?

Look at putting something in a late rc.local.s?? file, as a starting point - procmail hackery.

Also, is it possible to use an address other than list-request@domain to unsubscribe?

Apparently, he feels that his list members would find it easier to click on a list-unsub-request@domain to unsubscribe. Is this possible?

It would also need some procmail hackery but could be done - new alias with a rewriting header, probably. Roger
