How to use rc.local.s10.mhonarc ?
by Kapoor, Nishikant X 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

All, I am trying to use rc.local.s10.mhonarc from http://www.ha-schneider.de/software/smartlist/ to set up an archive for a mailing list. I have renamed rc.local.s10.mhonarc to rc.local.s30 and added following line to rc.custom RC_LOCAL_SUBMIT_30 = rc.local.s30 rc.local.s10 and rc.local.s20 are already in use and since I do not know how to merge the recipe in rc.local.s10.mhonarc with either of the two, I renamed it to rc.local.s30 and added a new line in rc.custom. Could someone please help me understand as to how it all works. Thanks Nishi

Archives?
by Mitchell Darer 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...

hi *, ich haette da mal 'ne ganz doofe frage: hat jemand von euch schonmal hypermail zusammen mit hypermail laufen lassen? mein problem: hypermail erwartet eine einzige datei, in der alle mails drinstehen (standard mailbox format), smartlist legt ja aber bekanntlich pro mail eine eigene datei an. ich hatte auch schon einen weiteren eintrag in der aliases angelegt, so dass die mail an smartlist und in eine mailbox geschrieben wird. leider gehen hierbei alle mails in die mailbox, egal ob der sender 'subscribed' ist oder nicht. falls mir jemand helfen kann binn ich sehr dankbar. gruss andreas

intermittent hotmail problem
by Jim Klima 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

Hosting a 100 user group of which ~15 have hotmail addresses. Most of the time messages are distributed normally but every once in a while all the hotmail accounts fail to receive the message. Any ideas? These users are all cancer patients and not especially computer savvy so I cannot migrate them to other service providers. I really need to solve this problem. JimK

I wrote something which is better suited for me because I need a limit configurable for a certain member. You gave me some good hints which I incorporated. I am using a recipe and a shell script which enables me to set monthly or daily quota limits for a set of list members. It's possible to set the quota different for each user. If the quota limit is reached the subscriber gets a message indicating the current limit in the subject. A cronjob for housekeeping isn't necessary. I attached the recipe and the shell script.

Submission Quota?
by Werner Reisberger 10 Oct '02

10 Oct '02

Does anybody ever wrote something like a quota mechanismn for postings? I want to limit the number of postings for certain people, i.e. list member bigmouth can only send 7 postings per month while other subscribers can post unlimited. Werner
