thanks for your help, now I ended up with
...
+ 4<& 0
+ ../src/setid root
+ 0< install.sh2
/bin/sh[11]: 4: 0403-007 Generated or received a file descriptor
number that is not valid.
+ exit 1
...
But why not use another shell ?! I tried the same with ksh - no
succes, after that I used bash and there were no problems!
I'm on an AIX 4.3.2, on Solaris 2.7 x86 it worked also with /bin/sh,
maybe it's a problem with the AIX sh ?! So I will force the use of
bash ...
In bash the output starts with:
...
+ exec
+ ../src/setid root
...
instead of the +4<& 0.

Hello,
I tried to use SmartList with Mhonarc, I've found an receipe and
wrote the followong lines in the SmartList users .procmailrc file:
:0: mmadmin.lock
* ^TOmmadmin(a)brzrs2.bau.tu-dresden.de
| /usr/local/bin/mhonarc -add -umask 022 \
-outdir /daten/ftp/www/support/mailarchive/mmadmin \
/home/slist/mmadmin/archive/latest
slist is the smartlist user
mmadmin is the mailinglist
But there was no effect. Running the above Mhonarc ( /usr/local/...
latest ) command in the shell works fine.
Or should I better put these lines in one of the rc.local.sXX files. Or
what is the right :0 line ?
Thanks for any help.
Carsten

Hi,... just checked the faq again and cant see the links
http://www.mindwell.com/smartlist/contrib/reject_html.txt
nor http://www.mindwell.com/smartlist/contrib/reject_garbage.txt
However I had the text of one of these pages I saved before, but I am not
sure what I *do* with this...
the first part goes in rc.local.s00..... as is?.....do I need to adjust
anything?
and the second part (rejectmsg script)...is this a Perl script?.... how
should I set it up?

I'll append here my rc.local.s00, followed by my 'rejectmsg' script,
followed by the 'quotereject' script. These are all derivative of
help given me by others on this group in the past, for which I am
thankful. My filtration is fairly restrictive, but that's the way I
like it.

This may be an old topic, since I remember another list member telling me
something in private about this a while back. It might even be a FAQ, but I
didn't see it the 2 I checked online.
Does anyone find it odd/hypocritical that the SmartList list is being run and
processed by Mailman? Look in the headers of this or any other message. You'll
see these lines, among others:
List-subscribe: <http://MailMan.RWTH-Aachen.DE/mailman/listinfo/smartlist>
X-mailman-version: 2.0.5
Seems a bit strange...
I've been hearing good things about Mailman for a while, and had it
recommended by some friends. This, however, seems to be the highest praise
going. So what's the deal? Should I consider migrating all my lists over to
Mailman and stop using SmartList? Is there some reason (besides inertia) to
keep using it?
Curious,

hi all,
I am using SmartList v3.14 to run a small list. Today I was
forced to disable the auto-remove features because procbounce
insisted in identifying one of the list members as responsible
of all bounces related to messages he had submitted to the list
instead of the real bouncers.
He also claims to get back lots of autoreplies (i.e. vacation
messages and the like) and error messages, though it is my
understanding that such messages should go back to the list-request,
and forwarded exclusively to the list master...
I've compared the header of some messages submitted by him to the
list with those by other users, and, as expected, they are alike.
For the case it might help, this person uses PINE as MUA, other
people from his lab using other MUAs do not get unsubscribed,
neither complain about getting autoreplies or error messages.
Any hint will be appreciated.

Hi,
I've been using smarlist through my ISP and I'm happy with it, but
now my ISP has discontinued it and forces me to another system, which
is not free of charge and intended for high volume, which is not my
case. I wonder if I could install and manage smartlist on my shared
account, without my ISP cooperation (which I would not get), but I'm
still very new to the unix world.
My host is running FreeBSD FreeBSD 4.1.1, qmail is the MTA here
(sendmail is also around, I think) and my shell is /bin/csh. First I
tried to compile my own smartlist, but the make hangs on a test
without any feedback and I have to kill the process. As I could not
find what was wrong, I copied the old smartlist files which are still
on the server to a subdir on my account. Then I ran createlist and
modified .procmailrc accordingly to have mail piped to flist. I do
not know what else should I do, but this does not work (maybe
hardcoded paths? maybe root permissions?...)
I tried to pipe a mailbox file via command line to flist just to see
what happens and the output is:
% cat /usr/home/myacc/mbox | ./flist test-request
flist: Can't find ".etc" in ""
I'm lost, I would thank any help to have smarlist running on my account.
TIA,
Llorenc
Hello,
I've looked in the archives, but I couldn't find some tips for my
problem:
I've unpacked procmail 3.15 and smartlist 3.15 in the same
directory, I've installed procmail via make install without problems.
I created a user slist with group slist, now I tried to run install.sh in
the SmartList directory with ./install.sh /home/slist and get the
following error message:
/bin/sh[11]: 4: 0403-007 Generated or received a file descriptor
number that is not valid.
What have I made wrong ?
Thanks, Carsten

Hello,
Is there a way to let SmartList address and send each message
individually?
I want the subscriber to see her own e-mail address in the "To:"
header, so they know which address to unsubscribe.
I know this is less efficient, but my list is still relatively small.
Regards,
René Pijlman
