Hello: Does SmartList have an archiving and (hopefully user friendly) search capability? [I'm not interested in the archives of this Disc List, but of the list I run for my 'users']. Thanks, Mitch Darer -- Mitchell Darer, WebMaster, mitch(a)focusing.org The Focusing Institute, 34 East Lane, Spring Valley, NY 10977 http://www.focusing.org (845) 362-5222 (phone/fax)

Re: does anyone find it ironic that smartlist mailing list is using Mailman?
by Charlie Summers 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

At 11:41 AM -0400 7/28/00, Werner Reisberger is rumored to have typed: > I never saw any > admin reply to the numerous complains about spam messages. Actually, that's not _strictly_ true, since I remember when Stephen was actually maintaining the list (and probably anally have archives of the list from that time somewhere on some floppy or MO cart from a long time ago and far far away). But you're right, it's been _years_ since he's been around. However, the list belongs to the maintainer (or at least the machine's admin), not the members. You'll get no argument from me that the list should be moved (I believe I said exactly that a couple of times), but to suggest the admins need to take a poll to ask what they may or may not do with the existing list is silly, to say the least. They are certainly able to move this list to mailman without the list subscriber's permission - indeed, they _have_ done so, which makes my point for me. Whether we should move this list to a SmartList server is a completely seperate issue...one which Philip should probably weigh in on, since he is now maintaining the procmail/SmartList source and as such the de facto head of our band of merry wanderers...

Why do I get this WARNING always?
by Chris Green 08 Dec '00

08 Dec '00

I seem to have got smartlist up and running on my shell account now, I have successfully subscribed myself to a test list anyway. However all my requests to the request list get the following warning:- WARNING: Please try to use 'uk-riders-request(a)isbd.co.uk' the next time when issuing (un)subscribe requests. As far as I can tell I *am* sending reqests to 'uk-riders-request(a)isbd.co.uk'. -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk) Home: chris(a)isbd.demon.co.uk Work: cgreen(a)bcs.org.uk WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

Unsubscribe request wont CC to maintainer
by sdw＠ws2.net 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

Greetings. I've set up the Maintainer email in rc.custom and set cc_requests & cc_unsubscribe_requests to "yes". Problem is that while _subscribe_ requests work as they should, _unsubscribe_ requests generate an *extra* Unsubscribe acknowledgment to the sender, only with "possible loop" and "mail from daemon" msgs in the header. Nothing is then CC'd to maintainer. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks! Scott Warstler

'Mail coming from a daemon, ignored'
by Anne-Marie Oualit 25 Nov '00

25 Nov '00

Hi! I keep asking questions :-) I've created a separate account within the same domain as my list is on with the purpose of sending news items to my list. From that account, however, I cannot post to the list. The address is both in the dist and accept files. The only one who receives mail from that address is the administrator account. The header says: 'Mail coming from a daemon, ignored' Can someone please tell me why? Kind regards, Anne-Marie Oualit

hi, On Mon, 20 Nov 2000 19:57:46 you wrote: > > i have some problems with confirm (v 1.2.3) and Smartlist 3.15 > If the subscriber sends back his confirmation-mail, he is not > subscribed and added into dist-file, but the message is > forwarded to the maintainer with X-Diagnostic: Unprocessed > > #confirm_maintainer = yes # This forwards all subscription requests to > confirm_maintainer # the maintainer(s) who have to confirm or > # ignore the messages. try commenting out the 2nd `confirm_maintainer' line. I seem to recall someone explaining in this list that configuration options were set depending on whether the line was commented out or not, and that the `=yes' or `=no' at the end was there for cosmetic (readibility) purposes. Thus, with the above uncommented line your are configuring smartlist to do what you complain it does: forward all subscription requests to the maintainer for confirmation.

Loop - please help
by Giorgio Demenego 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

Hi all, from one month I'm running 10 mail list with Smartlist. Untill today the server (Linux SUSE 6.4 - with last version of Exim in replacement of the default sendmail) has worked very good, but today there was a loop and the same e-mail was sent to the list about 30 times ... In the mailer log I have these entries: Mainlog: 2000-11-23 16:16:21 13yy5C-0006NW-00 Failed to get write lock for /var/spool/exi m/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile: timed out 2000-11-23 16:16:22 13yy5C-0006NW-00 Failed to open wait-remote_smtp database: C onnection timed out Paniclog: 2000-11-23 16:19:19 13yy8r-0006Ul-00 failed to unlink /var/spool/exim/input//13y y8r-0006Ul-00-D 2000-11-23 16:19:19 13yy8q-0006UM-00 failed to unlink /var/spool/exim/input//13y y8q-0006UM-00-D In the rc.local.S20 I have this line to strip from the header the e-mails of the list subscribers: :0 fhw | formail -k -X From: -X Subject: -X Date: -X To: -X Reply-To: Maybe I have stripped the loop flag (if it exists !) ? Many thanks in advance Giorgio

procbounce unsubs the sender
by Del Kimbler 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

Occasionally procbounce detects an excessive number of bounces and proceeds to unsubscribe the sender, not the bouncing address. Have looked at procbounce and rc.request, but I can't find how this can happen. I am using the default bounce parameters, using 3.13.1 in a Solaris environment with the public (not Sun) sendmail. Any ideas? Del D. L. Kimbler, Ph.D., P.E. Professor, Industrial Engineering Clemson University Voice: (864)656-5645 Fax: (864)656-0795
