Hi, Anyone have a simple recipe for automating the archive's transfer to an html file? I'd like for my subscribers to be able to browse the archives.... And, is the archive enabled by default?, mine doesn't respond to the mail query to (listname)@domain subject='archive'. Thanks, Les -- -- Les Sharp, half man, half budgie Wings Taiwan: http://www.wingstaiwan.com New email: les@wingstaiwan.com
Hi, Yes, I know this question has been asked a million times, I'd like to set up a web-accessible threaded archive of a smartlist mailing list. Here's the problem - my hosting service provides smartlist, I don't have access to /usr/bin. I've tried installing MHonArc and it won't work since I don't have access to these directories. So, to rephrase the question, is there any tool out there that will copy archived messages from the smartlist directory into a threaded web-based directory. I need something that works under Perl. Note that my hosting service puts smartlist config & data files in a non-web accessible directory. I do have access to this directory. Thanks in advance. Irwin
Surely you have access to a cgi-bin directory at your hosting service. I put mohnarc there and works fine for me. An example portion of my rc.local.s20: # Set variables for sending to web based archive mhonarc=/home/name/cgi-bin/mhonarc listdir=/home/name/mail/archive/latest weblist=/home/name/www/directory/archives # Send message to web archive :0 cw | $mhonarc -add -quiet -spammode -umask 022 $listdir -outdir $weblist # This updates the web page as each message is processed. Spammode is pretty nice as it keeps the email miners away. Much documentation is included with mohnarc. I had to use -unmask to correct some file permission issues with the html page.

Hi Mike I would like to do the same thing. What is mohnarc and how do I get it? Alan, At 11:55 PM 11/13/2001 -0500, Mike wrote:

When it gets several mails, it can create an archive index sorted by date or by thread (or both indices). You can also have other indices, e.g., by author. It "gets several mails" either at once (you feed an existing UNIX mailbox or directory of mails to it), or as they arrive (this is what you would probably do in conjunction with SmartList--see http://www.ha-schneider.de/software/smartlist/ for an rc file).

You don't need to install MHonArc into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin; for example, perl install.me -prefix $HOME will install it into your home directory (see the file INSTALL that comes with MHonArc). If you use rc.local.s10.mhonarc from http://www.ha-schneider.de/software/smartlist/ then adjust the path after "MHONARC =" (about line 11).

Then, maybe, you can use perl install.me -prefix /path/to/smartlist/data and probably use MHONARC = /path/to/smartlist/data/bin/mhonarc in rc.local.s10.mhonarc.
