Archives?

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...

dist manipulation software?
by Charlie Summers 03 Feb '01

03 Feb '01

Folks; Does anyone know of any pre-existing software for manipulating dist files (i.e. generating per-domain percentages from a dist file, merging two dist files, comparing two dist files, etc., etc)? I suppose anything that dealt specifically with lists of email addresses would work (that is, it doesn't necessarily have to handle the "Only addresses below this line" itself)...anyone have a pointer to such a thing? Charlie (who hopes he doesn't have to reinvent the wheel...)

No Multigram For Admin Please
by Richard Lynch 03 Feb '01

03 Feb '01

I'm confused by this multigram stuff, and when it kicks in... The lists I work with are pretty small, and it would be ideal for me if the X-Command to unsubscribe was just "perfect match" OTOH, I'd like for people who unsubscribe themselves (the blessed few with a clue) were able to match foo(a)mail.whatever.com and foo(a)whatever.com successfully and just take them off if they're that close... But I don't even know if that's what multigram does or not. I've read the docs and FAQ, but they seem to jump right into the numbering scheme without explaining how/when multigram applies... Or maybe I'm just reading the wrong section of the docs... So... if some kind soul would tell me when multigram kicks in and how I would alter rc.custom for the admin X-Command to be strictly a perfect match thing without screwing up auto-request commands from listees, I'd sure appreciate it... Oh yeah: One last thing: The address that is about to unsubscribed generates the following multigram matches to the current list: 177 rlynch(a)ignitionstate.com 32734 rlynch(a)ignitionstate.com 18 a 17066 rlynch(a)ignitionstate.com 118 kevin.erickson(a)bmge.com 3250 rlynch(a)ignitionstate.com 174 rfblitho(a)compuserve.com 3250 rlynch(a)ignitionstate.com 36 boche(a)billions.com 3247 rlynch(a)ignitionstate.com 167 rademaker(a)compuserve.com 3246 rlynch(a)ignitionstate.com 176 rjolech(a)herff-jones.com 3197 rlynch(a)ignitionstate.com 87 guns(a)scratchie.com 2527 rlynch(a)ignitionstate.com Like, the address I'm trying to remove is there, and it should be a perfect match, and I don't understand why that first one isn't just 32766... [See, I read the docs enough to know it goes up to 32766 :-)] Or, rather, why is multigram kicking in at all? If it's a perfect match, isn't it supposed to just unsubscribe it?

how to turn off the automatic subscribe and unsubscribe messages on a particular list
by Andy Hubbell, Jr. 31 Jan '01

31 Jan '01

Sorry folks, I've looked at the faq and didn't see anything like this, but I'm using smartlist for an "all-mailboxes" type of list and don't want to confuse people with the auto generated messages... So is it possible to turn them off and how do I go about doing that? TIA Andy H. --- PGP public key fingerprint FC3A FD71 8A43 E510 8797 6FD8 918C 1D54 17D9 9EC1

A question on viruses and smartlist.
by Liam G. McFaul 22 Jan '01

22 Jan '01

Hello one and all, My domain and mailing lists are hosted on a server in the US. I am having problems with the virus "joke.exe" or "Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs - The REAL story". My Antrim mailing lists rejects all messages with attachments. I have double checked that. If you send a message to Antrim-d(igest) it gets re-directed to the Antrim list and rejected if you are not on the mailing list or contains an attachment. Everything is working as it should. Now the problem. Subject: antrim-d Digest V01 #9 Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 08:02:10 -0500 From: antrim-d-request(a)irishgenealogy.net Reply-To: antrim(a)irishgenealogy.net To: antrim-d(a)irishgenealogy.net Subject: antrim-d Digest Volume 01 : Issue 9 Today's Topics: Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs - The [ Hahaha <hahaha(a)sexyfun.net> ] (included attachment containing virus) No other topic. Digest #10 had normal topic's. Digest #11 Had the above virus. No other topic. Digest #12 Had the above virus. No other topic. I have since Digest #11 removed all users except myself from the list. I have Norton 2001 Antivirus and it traps this mail virus and also says my computer is virus free. The questions are:- How is it possible that the digest mode is actived and that it contains a virus attachment. How do I stop it. Any help is welcome as I hate sending 400 plus people a virus. greetings from Holland Liam G. McFaul

SmartList, help!
by Julio Gonzalez-At 21 Jan '01

21 Jan '01

Dear friends, I found the same silly problem that you seem to have encountered. I created one list with smartlist. No problems. Then I did the same for two other list and only the administrator receives a X-Diagnostic: Unprocessed message. I have checked files and permissions. Everything seems identical with the three lists. Any luck with your problems ? thanks Julio I'm currently running two lists under SmartList, one is operating without problems, but the second is not. Basically, it seems that the list subscriptions are being handled correctly, but subsequent posts to the list are not getting through. It seems that SmartList is not processing the submission, given that the X-Diagnostic field in the header is set to 'Unprocessed'. The submission is forwarded to the list maintainer. Does anyone have any ideas, I'm sure there is a simple explanation! For information, AFAIK, both lists are set up identically, i.e. with same rc.custom file, but different subscriber lists.
