As a continuation of my SmartList problem with duplicate resent posts with
large bodies (around 4.5K) on one of my lists. I have included the headers
from one such article. The first is how the message was received by my
box, before any processing by SmartList. The next two are the duplicated
re-sends by Smartlist. Notice the message refernces are the same and the
archive number is the same, but the outgoing ID's are different. This is
consistantly happening (have had three in the last two days). I am unable
to duplicate it with a test list though (even copied all rc and processing
files to the test list), but the test list only has one subscriber where as
the list in question has over 300.
This is with procmail and SmartList v 3.15.1 and I am using the default
choplist to distribute the messages. Here is the sendmail setup from
rc.init:
minnames = 32 # minimum number of names per call
mindiffnames = 8 # minimum for maxnames-minnames
maxnames = 64 # maximum number of names per call
maxsplits = 0 # maximum number of parts to split dist in
maxsize = 200000 # maximal disk space to be taken up per mail
maxconcur = 20 # maximum number of concurrent sendmail
calls
alt_sendmail="\
choplist $minnames $mindiffnames $maxnames $maxsplits $maxsize $maxconcur
dist"
minnames mindiffnames maxnames maxsplits maxsize maxconcur
#alt_sendmail # uncomment if you'd prefer sendmail
# to handle the $listdist expansion
sendmailOPT="-oem -odb -oi -om -f$listreq"
sendmailOPTp=-oep
sendmailOPTq=-odq
sendmailQflush="$SENDMAIL -q"
I am at a total loss, any idea where to look next? Would a verbose log
indicate if choplist was at fault?
Thanks for any help...
Doug

Can someone please give me an idea about what I might have done
wrong?
I'm not sure I applied the patch correctly as my test list does not
seem to be working properly with two maintainers. It does not
respond to any x-commands at all.
Can you please let me know what needs to be done with the
patch? I just copied and pasted it into the rc.request file at a point
that seemed OK, but maybe it was not - is there a best place to
put the patch? Or do I need to modify something already there in
the rc.request file?
TIA

Hello,
Another problem:
When I receive bounced messages..this says could not read rc.local.init.
I have rc.init and several rc.local.r*
Am I missing this file and can someone send me an example of what would be
in the file?
Thank you.

Hello,
On one of my list, I need to have reply to: go to the list, rather than the
individual.
I uncommented the line, and it still does not work.:
#reply_to
reply_to = "Resent-Reply-To: chat(a)intrepid-video.com" # uncomment (and
perhaps change
# it to "Reply-To") to force replies
# to go to the list

I thought it would be difficult to get smartlist to not send
a copy to the sender and only to all the other addresses in dist,
but it wasn't.
I uncommented the RC.LOCAL.S20 line in rc.custom, and in
rc.local.s20, I put:
# get sender address
# and make new dist (distless) without sender
:0
{
SENDER_ADDRESS=`formail -rtzxTo:`
}
:0 c
| $HOME/disjust.pl $SENDER_ADDRESS
and in disjust.pl I have:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $sender = shift @ARGV;
open D, "dist";
open DL, ">distless";
while ( <D> ) {
print DL unless /$sender/;
}
and I changed rc.submit from:
alt_sendmail="\
choplist $minnames $mindiffnames $maxnames $maxsplits $maxsize $maxconcur dist"
to
alt_sendmail="\
choplist $minnames $mindiffnames $maxnames $maxsplits $maxsize $maxconcur distless"
And it seems to work. Now I have to think a way of making it
configurable.

I'd do this off-list, but for some reason your mail server rejects my
mail now... says my ISP is 'spam domain' (*sigh*).
So, thanks for all the 'Smartlist 101'!

Hi,
Anyone have a simple recipe for automating the archive's transfer to an
html file? I'd like for my subscribers to be able to browse the archives....
And, is the archive enabled by default?, mine doesn't respond to the
mail query to (listname)@domain subject='archive'.
Thanks, Les

It appears that when someone subscribes to my list using an
HTML formated email the subscription goes unprocessed. Same
with unsubscribe. Is there a way for Smartlist to handle
these kinds of subscription / unsubscribe requests?
Thanks for your help,
Alan
I have problems with led, the Smartlist wrapper around your
editor, hanging on FreeBSD that I didn't have on Linux and other Unixes.
So I changed line 142 to:
$test -z "$childpid" || $kill -15 $childpid
That is, instead of sending a HUP (1) to the editor (but is it
the editor, or another dist, or what?), I substituted a TERM
(15). And the problem of led hanging goes away.
I think it must be a peculiarity of FreeBSD HUP, but I don't know
enough about this to know whether I may not be terminating Smartlist
as it distributes the mail instead, something which I don't want
to do.
