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

Re: Replies bypassing "accept" file

C programs often use the same text, but it means exactly the opposite thing: /* HAVE_BLURFL: uncomment this line if your system has the blurfl() system call. */ /* #define HAVE_BLURFL */ The idiosyncratic syntax of procmail scripts makes the "uncomment this line" text more ambiguous than it might otherwise be. Sorry, Charlie. It sucks.

Sending message to non-subscribers

by Intrepid Video Info

Currently my lists forward emails to be from those not on the accept list. How can I have the list send them a message explaining how to subscribe. I DO NOT want to enable auto subscribe for various reasons. Thank you.

It also allows for checking all e-mail addresses in a file (check its documentation). Nonetheless, note that broken servers could impede vrfy to complete its job. For instance, a suitable command line could be, $ vrfy -R -vvv -dHn someone(a)att.com rcpt 'someone(a)att.com' at 'kcmsi1.att.com' smtp phase connect connecting to kcmsi1.att.com (192.128.134.69) port 25 connected to kcmsi1.att.com smtp phase greeting wait <<< 220 kcmsi1.proxy.att.com ESMTP AT&T IPNS/MSI-3.0 ; Fri, 21 Dec 2001 03:09:57 -0500 (EST) >>> EHLO sermn02.uab.es smtp phase EHLO wait <<< 250-kcmsi1.proxy.att.com Hello [158.109.8.53], pleased to meet you <<< 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES <<< 250-8BITMIME <<< 250-SIZE 500000000 <<< 250-ONEX <<< 250-XUSR <<< 250 HELP >>> VERB on smtp phase VERB wait <<< 502 5.7.0 Verbose unavailable >>> MAIL From:<> smtp phase MAIL wait <<< 250 2.1.0 <>... Sender ok >>> RCPT To:<someone(a)att.com> smtp phase RCPT wait <<< 250 2.1.5 <someone(a)att.com>... Recipient ok 2.1.5 <someone(a)att.com>... Recipient ok >>> RSET smtp phase RSET wait <<< 250 2.0.0 Reset state >>> QUIT smtp phase QUIT wait <<< 221 2.0.0 kcmsi1.proxy.att.com closing connection and a more verbose one would be `vrfy -R -vvv -dHn someone(a)att.com` which will interact will all possible mail exchangers.

Fwd: Message status notification

by Irwin Lazar

Folks, I'm having trouble tracing down a problem subscriber and I wanted to see if any list member could offer some tips. For the last several months every message sent to my list has generated the below. I've e-mailed postmaster(a)att.com and have not received any response. Short of removing all 30-40 list members in the att.com domain, is there any way to trace this below message back to a specific mailbox that can be removed?
