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 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

SmartList 101 - clarified
by Srower＠aol.com 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Thanks for the thoughts on my original post (copy below), but I probably wasn't clear. Although my host (who is extremely helpful) pre-loaded SL, I do have access to the files to make any changes. Admittedly, host-guy does not know everything about the program which is why I am seeking help here. Also, I did read the FAQ's but understanding is not coming as easy as I had hoped. My main questions are: 1. Should my list be newsletter, subscriber-only, or moderated? 2. If it's moderated, do the names still automatically subscribe/unsubscribe or does it require some action on my part? 3. How do I turn off the subscribe requests to my e-mail box? I thought I had figured it out in the rc.custom file, but only screwed it up. Has anyone else experienced the proliferation of a virus through a newsletter list that did not originate on the computer that sent the initial message? I'm terrified of sending another mailing until I figure this out. Thanks again for the help. ----------------------- I am using SmartList provided by my hosting service. I want to allow people to subscribe/unsubscribe, but I want to be the only one to be able to send mail to the lits. I am in no way programming oriented though and am having problems. When I first set up the list, it was set (through a web interface) as "newsletter." My first mailing went out the day Nimda hit and several thousand people on the list got a virus via my mail (the virus didn't originate with me), which kept sending and re-sending to everyone. It was a nightmare. I then set the list to "moderated," but now it doesn't appear that all names are recording to the list, and I know that unsubscribes are not working. Plus, I get hundreds of subscribe e-mails in my mailbox each day that I don't want to see. I've read the documentation, but I'm still confused. Finally, I need to keep editing the dist file to add lists that other departments send me -- what does everyone use to do this? Can anyone, please, oh please, help me out? Janice

Re: Does SmartList support multiple 'maintainer=' lines?
by segura＠attcanada.ca 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

I'm not sure I applied the patch correctly as my test list does not seem to be working properly with two maintainers. Can you please let me know what needs to be done with the patch? I just copied and pasted it into the file at a point that seemed OK, but maybe it was not - is there a best place to put it? Or do I need to modify something already there? TIA Joe > http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/SmartList-FAQ.html#Section_7.1 > > In any case you can have multiple maintainers but not multiple > maintainer lines. After applying the patch in the FAQ you need to > enter the mainainers on one line seperated by a ','.

What Happened to the HTML Email?
by Alan Northam 09 Nov '01

09 Nov '01

Last Saturday Nov 3, I got brave and decided to try my hand at sending an HTML formated email to my list. For starters I created a list with only my email address on it and sent my email. Within a few minutes I received it confirming I could send and receive an HTML formated email (file size=16K) using Smartlist. I then sent the same email to my regular list of 2000 names. I have my own email address half way through the list and at the end of the list. I received the HTML formated email at the email address that was half way through the list but I have never received the HTML formated email at the email address at the bottom of the list. Everyday I send a text formated email to the same list ( of about the same file size) and receive it at both email addresses. What happened to the HTML Email? Any ideas? Alan,
