** Reply to message from Werner Reisberger <werner@pure.ch> on Fri, 12 Oct 2001 11:15:23 +0000 What is wrong with the posting quoted below is that, instead of being informative, it refers us to the FAQ, which is equally uninformative. The FAQ mentions (au-passant) that one can deal with the problem by use of rc.local files, but gives no hint about how to do this. There is no list anywhere, as far as I (and apparently others) have been able to discover, of the various available rc.local files, what they do, and at what point in the process they act. Just as unfortunate, there is no central archive (or if there is, it is well hidden) from which one can obtain these files. In a word, the level of user- friendliness is very close to zero. Third-party hosting services offering SmartList feel no obligation to make these scripts available to users. Mine, for example does not. Perhaps you would post to the SmartList list, for the benefit of your users, a pointer to a list of scripts, with their descriptions; that would make them useful to a far wider group than they are now. Since the scripts are apparently all rather small files, perhaps you could even find a few kilobytes somewhere to post them for FTP download. Would that be difficult? plain text
emails on the list. I have three different rc.local files(s10, R20, etc) Which one an dhow can I configure it?
that's a faq question

I have been through the FAQs and Manual in an attempt to solve my digest problem. When I uncomment "foreign_submit" in rc.custom it breaks the ability for my subscribers on the digest version to originate submissions. The indication is that they are NOT on the accept list. Does this mean that I have to unlink dist and accept on the non-digest side. I want to restrict submissions to only subscribers. Thanks, Harlan Olson

I run one like this. My main list has an 'accept/dist' list (hardlinked) and an 'accept2' which is hardlinked to the digested list's 'dist' file. The digest only accepts posts from 'mainlist@mydomain.com' and distributes to the people in 'dist'. In the digest's rc.custom file, I set 'undigested_list =' to point to the main list. So anyone replying to the digest goes to the main list, and that distributes to both the main and digested versions.

There is an answer in the FAQ which gives detailed hints how to "keep people from sending HTML/attachments/other junk". That's what the person asked for.
The FAQ mentions (au-passant) that one can deal with the problem by use of rc.local files, but gives no hint about how to do this.
The FAQ says which rc.local file to use and presents them for free usage. That should be enough. If you don't know how to apply these rc.local files you should read at first the SmartList manual.

Do you mean the user-friendliness of your provider for whom you pay cash or the volunteer supporters on this list? Werner
