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

html attachments

by Werner Reisberger

I want to remove html attachments from postings but the links in the FAQ don't work and seems to be quite old. Could someone give me a working solution for the removal of this garbage? Werner

Re:Is this the correct behavior of showlink?

by KEVIN ZEMBOWER

Thank you, Charlie, for explaining that. I was confused by the manual text "showlink: It will display what groups of files are linked together." I thought I could use it to tell if dist and accept are hard linked together. Thanks, again, for helping me understand SmartList. -Kevin >>> Charlie Summers <charlie(a)lofcom.com> 06/27/01 11:13AM >>> At 10:48 AM -0400 6/27/01, KEVIN ZEMBOWER is rumored to have typed: > Is something broken, > or just something I don't understand? showdist is designed to show you the directories where like-file hardlinks reside. For example, in your list directory type: ../.bin/showlink rc.init ...and you'll see a list of the _directories_ where there are hard links to your rc.init file (generally every list directory you have plus .etc/ unless you have a modified rc.init file somewhere). showlink really wasn't designed to show any hardlink anywhere on your hard drive (it _only_ looks insite the main lists directory...link a copy of rc.init outside the list tree and showlink won't see it).

Is this the correct behavior of showlink?

by KEVIN ZEMBOWER

When I type "../.bin/showlink dist" in a freshly-created slist emailer directory, such as my "/home/slist/popreporter" directory, the program doesn't return anything; I just get another prompt. If I just type "../.bin/showlink" I get the "usage" text, indicating that the program's running. dist is linked to accept; if I edit one, the other one changes. Is something broken, or just something I don't understand? -Kevin Zembower ----- E.

fixed my own problem

by Irwin Lazar

here's how to block attachments: go into rc.init and uncomment the line that points to rc.local.s00 go to http://www.hardlink.net/Support/Smartlist/contrib/reject_garbage.txt create the rc.local.s00 file using the script on the above web page copy and paste the two scripts (rejectmsg / rejectquote) into two text files (don't forget to edit the e-mail addresses) upload everything to your smartlist directory So far, it appears to be working, but I'm continuing to test.
