Archives?

by Mitchell Darer

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

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...

blocking a reply

by O'Rourke, Tom (CTR)

Greetings, Is it possible to block the reply of certain individuals from being distributed to a mailing list? Their accounts have been removed and it is only possible for certain people to post to the list. However, neither one of these options eliminates the possibility of these unwanted individuals from responding. Thanks in advance. Tom O'Rourke

excessive quoting

by violet＠torithoughts.org

I have a quote reject script (one from the Smartlist FAQ) set on all my lists to keep quoting to a minimum. Lately, more and more of my subscribers -- mostly newbies (both on my list and on the Internet itself) -- are using unconventional quoting styles and their posts are sneaking past the quote reject, often with massive amounts of requoting. My current quote reject script looks for the standard greater-than carats (>) at the beginning of lines. I now have several people who simply put quotation marks around quoted sections. For example: "This is stuff someone else said. I'm requoting it and then I'm going to follow it by saying nothing more than than I agree with what they said. I will not add anything of substance in my response, and I will do this repeatedly throughout the rest of my 40k post to this list ... today, tomorrow, and as long as I am a subscriber." And then they write their response and go into the next quoted paragraph. It's annoying as all hell and I'm getting complaints. Has anyone here devised a script to reject based on this style of quoting when it's used excessively? I would really rather not have to start siphoning off certain subscribers' posts just to count the lines by hand. That's such a pain. But my requests for these folks to monitor themselves have not worked. I have to do something. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Violet xoxox

AO-Hell

by Mike

It appears that the latest version of AOL does not allow you send in plain text format. I have been blocking plain text for some time and do not want to change this. Does anyone know of any work around for this? Maybe RTF->plain conversion? No biggie if I can't, just checking.

Web subscription form

by Peterson, Kevin

I am looking for advice, example, instruction, anything that will help me create a web-based subscription form for a smartlist mailing list. I have been looking for hours, and thought that the members of this forum may be able to lend a hand. I am trying to free myself of free e-mail hosts (Topica), and use the smartlist installed on my web site. Any help or advice is appreciated. Kevin S. Peterson

Changes affect all lists

by Intrepid Video Info

I am having some trouble customizing these lists. For instance, I want one list to have replies go to the individual, the other list to go to the sender. Now I lost my footer in both lists and can't get it back. I have followed all the instructions to do this. But for now, am I correct in assuming this line is the one that determines if the changes affect all lists? If I want them to only affect this list, do I keep this commented, or remove the pound sign? Thank you. #RC_CUSTOM # clear this one from the environment # so that we include this file only # once Jeff mailto:Jeff@intrepid-video.com www.9-11-2001tragedy.com FAX 1-413-280-0677 Intrepid Video & Electronics Harrisburg, PA 17111 717-909-8844 www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net www.thetoolcaddy.com
