Posts to one of my lists that are larger than 4.5K are being duplicated. The archive only has a single entry. The message headers are the same for both messages (except for the outgoing ID and date stamps). And as near as I can tell, it does not happen to everyone on the list. Just to confirm it, I subed a free yahoo account and it received the duplicates. My sendmail logs show both messages being delivered. Any idea? -- Doug

Help please

von RoM_ServO

What does someone have to do to get some help with smarlist? Is there no in between hiring a consultant, and having someone help me with a couple of items??? I'm trying to learn here, and I think my question is one of the most basic smartlist problems--can someone help me figure out why the examples in the documentation for preventing [listname] from repeating in the subject clearly does not work???? If the documentation isnt helpful, where else am I supposed to turn to learn how to configure this thing?? Please help- Mike --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Loading a list of email addresses and performance

von Austad, Jay

I'm planning on converting from ezmlm to Smartlist. How do I go about loading a text file of addresses into the list database? With ezmlm, I can just do: cat addresses.txt | xargs ezmlm-sub ~/DIR Is it something similar with Smartlist? Also, what email server does everyone recommend for maximum performance? I'm thinking Postfix or zmailer. Right now, I'm using qmail+ezmlm, and qmail spends A LOT of time processing queued mail because I have several lists with half a million subscribers or more. Basically, the smartlist server needs to just pass outgoing mail to my smarthost, but bounces and stuff are obviously going to come back to the Smartlist box. How does the performance of Smartlist compare with EZMLM? ---------- Jay Austad Network Administrator CBS Marketwatch 612.817.1271 austad(a)marketwatch.com <mailto:austad@marketwatch.com> http://cbs.marketwatch.com http://www.bigcharts.com

postfix/procmail doesn't pass on the subscriber's address to the smartlist

von Chunnuan Chen

Hi, I installed smartlist on my Mandrake 8.1 Linux box and created a mailing list. However when I tried to subscribe to the list, I got nothing back. On the server side, the maintainer got an email with the subject of "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender". The following is the whole email: ------------------------------------- Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 23:12:50 -0700 (PDT) From: MAILER-DAEMON(a)bioweircom.com (Mail Delivery System) To: bio93-request(a)bioweircom.org This is the Postfix program at host www.bioweircom.com. I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned below could not be delivered to one or more destinations. For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster> If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the message returned below.

Does SmartList support multiple 'maintainer=' lines?

von Patrick Salsbury

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, all. I've got one that doesn't seem to be in the FAQ... (http://www.hardlink.com/Support/Smartlist/) I was trying to set up a list that was going to be maintained by myself and another, novice user. In rc.custom, I put the following: maintainer = salsbury(a)sculptors.com maintainer = otheruser(a)their.domain When I was trying to use the 'doxcommand' script (customized for this list and password, using my name as maintainer) it didn't seem to want to mail me the dist file. However, when I went in and commented out the second entry, it sent the file without complaint. On the topic of complaint, during the first two times (run from two different machines, to make sure it wasn't freaking out based on where the mail was coming from), I saw the following error messages. It appears to think that it processed the request, but I never got a copy. Here's an excerpt from the list's "log" file: procmail: Extraneous deliver-head flag ignored - From salsbury(a)bucky.sculptors.com Mon Oct 22 02:20:14 2001 Subject: X-Processed: showdist of <newlist-request(a)sculptors.com> Folder: formail -R"From X-Envelope-From:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-T 730 procmail: Extraneous deliver-head flag ignored - From salsbury(a)bootstrap.sculptors.com Mon Oct 22 02:26:57 2001 Subject: X-Processed: showdist of <newlist-request(a)sculptors.com> Folder: formail -R"From X-Envelope-From:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-T 983 When I commented the second 'maintainer=' line out, the file *did* deliver to me, yet I saw the same message in the log. procmail: Extraneous deliver-head flag ignored - From salsbury(a)bootstrap.sculptors.com Mon Oct 22 02:28:06 2001 Subject: X-Processed: showdist of <newlist-request(a)sculptors.com> Folder: formail -R"From X-Envelope-From:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-T 3671 So I guess the bonus question is: What's that error message mean? Should I be concerned? (Note also the seeming discrepancy between the file sizes. The third one is much closer to the size of the 'dist' file.) Thirdly, in looking at /var/log/maillog, I've discovered that those first two attempts seem to have, in actuality, delivered *something*, but they delivered it to the other (2nd) maintainer! Only when I commented that line out did I get a message, so it appears to go with the last "maintainer=" line. In light of that, I guess the answer to my question of: "Does SmartList support multiple 'maintainer=' lines?" is a simple "No." But the next question is: "Why not? And is there any way to get it to do this? Thanks for your attention and any insight you may have... - -- Pat ___________________Think For Yourself____________________ Patrick G.

announcement list: how control order that smartlist sends emails?

von john＠obz.co.za

Hello, Anyone know how to control the order by with Smartlist sends the emails contained within its announcement list? At the moment, my announcement list seems to send alphabetically, by domain. E.g First it sends address(a)domain.ac then address(a)domain.co.* etc I would like to personally received mail first and last; thus I'd know when the server began sending mail and when it completed sending to the list. TIA Howard
