Archives?
by Mitchell Darer 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

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 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

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...

Dumb Newbie
by John Hake 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

I had a mailing list up and running but ran into some difficulties because I didn't handle the foreign_submit line correctly. I deleted all the mailing lists from the control panel and tried to start over. My mail directory showed no files however when I reconstructed the list using the same list name and did a test subscription I had the last seven issues of my newsletter returned to me. There must be some files lurking somewhere that I can't find. My host does not offer tech support for listserve and I can't find anything about this in the manuals. Can anyone help?

bounce processing problems
by Kim Ridenour 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

I am testing the bounce/remove function and have a problem I can't figure out. I have got a combination of test addresses in the dist file. Some are valid, some are not. When I send a message to the list, only one bad address is removed from dist. The others generate a "returned mail" error in log/request, but the bad address stays in the dist file. In rc.custom, I have minbounce = 1, auto_off_threshold = $loose I also have no value for maintainer because I prefer that these messages be delivered to the request file instead of to me. (I get the same results with maintainer = [a value] and different combinations of minbounce and threshold. If maintainer = my email, I have the same problem with the dist file, but I do get the returned email, error=550 "user unknown.") All these bounced messages come from MAILER-DAEMON(a)domain.com The first remove is always accepted, all subsequent removes have daemon complaints ... possibly a response from the attempt to deliver a "you have been removed" message to a non-existent address? Frankly, I have no clue what is happening here. The first entry in the log is always this, and it removes the bad address from dist: procmail: Executing "procbounce" procbounce: Removed: bademail(a)domain.com A message is sent to this bad email address, advising that the bad email has been removed from the list. Then ... All successive entries after this first successful "remove" look like this: procmail: Executing "formail,-A,X-Diagnostic: Mail coming from a daemon, ignored" procmail: Match on "^X-Loop: ()mylist(a)mydomain\.com" procmail: Executing "formail,-A,X-Diagnostic: Possible loopback problem" procmail: No match on ! "^X-(Diagnostic|Processed):" procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=" procmail: No match on ! "^X-(Diagnostic|Processed):" procmail: Executing "formail,-AX-Envelope-To: mylist-request" procmail: No match on ! "." procmail: Assigning "fOPT=-fslist(a)mydomain.com" procmail: Executing " formail -R"From X-From_:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-To: -iRead-Receipt-To: \ -iAcknowledge-To: | \ $SENDMAIL $fOPT $sendmailOPTnorm $sendmailOPTp $maintainer" I'm using procmail v 3.21 SmartList 3.15 Something is augwiedered here, and I don't know how to fix it. I appreciate whatever guidance you can provide. Thanks, Kim

blocking a reply
by O'Rourke, Tom (CTR) 27 Jan '02

27 Jan '02

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:spam again
by Jerry Sloan 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

Good Morning, I run a list for our tech support department that sends an auto-reply to the original sender. My problem is this e-mail address gets a boatload of spam. But when the messages come through smartlist has stripped the original message headers. Is there any way to keep the original message headers so that I can use them to block spam?
