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...

Strange unsubscribe behavior

by Irwin Lazar

I had a strange occurrence this morning with one of my mailing lists. User2 unsubscribed, and the list removed User1, who is another list member from the same domain. The log file entry is below (names/domains changed to protect the innocent): X997 user1(a)domain.com 24689 user2(a)domain.com Removed: user1(a)domain.com You have been removed from the list..X unsubscribe: 997 user1(a)domain.com 24689 user2(a)domain.com by: user2(a)domain.com Fri Feb 15 09:31:56 EST 2002 Why would this happen? Thanks in advance, Irwin

Can smartlist use bcc instead of "to"

by Wade Richards

I'm just trying out smartlist, and I've hit what appears to be a roadblock. Perhaps I didn't RTFM enough times. :-) I don't want all the members on the list to know the e-mail addresses of everyone else on the list. However, when I send a test message to the list, each list member gets a message with the entire list's e-mail addresses in the "Resent-to" header. Is it possible to get smartlist to send out the messages using the "bcc" header? Or is there some other way to keep the addresses of the list members private? Thanks, --- Wade

Possible explanation: Do you have smartlist installed under its own user account (as recommended by the installation documents)? If so, make sure that that user id is a trusted user in the sendmail configuration. (See Section 1 of the INSTALL file that came with the SmartList sources.) If not (or if you can't do the above), edit the rc.init file and remove the "-f$listreq" option from the sendmailOPT line. This will cause bounced mail to go to the wrong place, but I live with that. I don't know why sendmail does this, but it does (at least the version I use). -cary

Dual Froms

by douglas.meldrum＠discreet.com

Hello there, I am curious to know why I keep having mangled email sent to the maintainer of my list in the form of: >From john_doe(a)hotmail.com Tue Mar 26 16:49:37 2002 >From slist Tue Mar 26 16:49:37 2002 Return-Path: <john_doe@hotmail> The 2nd line represents what I am referring to a mangled email. It is creating havoc with my mail client. Any insight would be appreciated. Here is what is being used: procmail 3.22 Smartlist 3.15 sendmail 8.9.3 pine 4.33 Thanks. Douglas
