Anyone either 1) send successful X-Commands in outlook 2000 to smartlist? or
2)use the doxcommand script to successfully issue commands to smartlist running
in sendmail(where smartlist is installed)/ qmail (mail relay) environment?
I'm getting bounced messages saying that relaying is denied when issuing
doxcommands on the machine where smartlist is installed..
Thanks!

There is already this:

However Mindwell.com appears to be permanently off-line, so those
resources need an update.

Ok, after mungling through the archives.
I already have had the digest list as a member of the main list and it is
getting the emails, but apparently is rejecting them and I am assuming it is
due to the `From`.
Log of the digest list:
>From akai-request(a)midicase.com Tue May 8 13:43:13 2001
Subject: Re: [Akai] More a musical question!

Looking at the Digest archive directory, I see the digest.xx files are not
getting populated. I am also assuming that an alternate method is to have
the main list send to the digest by way of the rc.local.s20. I'm having
trouble finding an example of this. Would someone point me to an example?
Also, since I have a few hundred messages that have not been making it to
the digest is there a way to send them from the main list archive to the
digest list?

Yep, I'm a bonehead. Even before you wrote back, I slapped my forehead when reading section one. For some reason, when I read it through the first time, I didn't realize that "createlist testing" actually created a separate email list called testing, even though it's clearly stated so in the text. I don't know what I was thinking. I was maybe just fixated on finding the word "multiple" or "many" or something.
Thank you again, for not making me feel more foolish than I deserve.

No. You allow createlist to do it for you. See SECTION ONE of the

Yipe.
Look, you're working _way_ too hard. cd into your "main" SmartList
directory (you know, the one with .bin/, .etc/, .examples/, et al) after
suing or logging in as the owning user, and type:
$ .bin/createlist <listname> <maintainer address>
...where, of course, you replace the information in bracksts. An example
might be:
$ .bin/createlist mysmartlist charlie(a)lofcom.com
...and then let SmartList do the work.
This really isn't FAQ material, since it's covered COMPLETELY in the
.etc/Manual file...you might want to sit down with a beverage and actually
read that file carefully from start to finish. I disagree that you need to,
or even SHOULD, stick /path/to/smartlist/.bin/ in your path (good lord, my
path is big enough already, thanks), which is why I suggest the slightly
different methodology above. That said, though, reading section ONE of the
Manual file will pretty much tell you how to create a mailing list under
SmartList...multiple lists are created _exactly_ the same way.
What most of us do (I think) is create a single user named something like
slist (or whatever you like) to control the lists; install SmartList in
slist's user directory, then use createlist to create as many lists as you
want, pointing aliases to "flist <thelistname>" (or do it the wacky way I do,
sending everything to slist and using a _real_ .procmailrc file to distribute
to the lists). Multiple installs of SmartList on a single machine are
unnecessary, and would be really kinda messy.

I searched the Manual, FAQ, installation instructions and email list for the last year and still didn't find a clear explanation of how to set up multiple email lists on the same server. If I overlooked it, please just point it out. I'm a SmartList newbie; this is the first list I've ever set up in SmartList. Maybe this stuff is obvious to more experienced users.
My questions:
Do you have to set up a user account and create home directories for each email list desired? But, it shouldn't have the same user ID as the name of the mailinglist itself? OR, do you create subdirectories under /home/slist for each of the mailinglists you want? If so, do you run install.sh for each of these subdirectories, or just copy certain files to each of them?
If you had to set up separate user IDs for each mailinglist, do you have to enter a Trusted User in the /etc/sendmail.cf file for each one? Then, do you run install.sh /home/mailinglist for each mailinglist? If you do this, must you, should you, or can you erase certain files or directories and hard link what they were to actual files and directories in /home/slist?
Thanks for helping clear up my uncertainties as I set up my first SmartList.

I get a lot of "Undeliverable" messages back (directly to me, the
submitter) after sending out a mail to our SmartList mailing lists.
Example below. Can anybody tell me if I've got a problem with my Smartlist
configuration, or if I need to do something to handle these? Presently,
I've just redirected all of them to the list, hoping that it gets handled
properly.
Thanks.

I may have found the issue. Looking at the regular mailing list
messages, I see all the messages are getting sent out as from the
<list>-request@domain address. The digest is apparently rejecting
these. Is this how the list is supposed to send messages? If now
where do I change it.
Thanks!
