Hello,
We have recently attempted to implement Smarlist and Procmail to replace
our old listserve system. However we have not been successful with
getting our previous mailing lists back working again. Can anyone
direct me to a step by step setup for SmartList using Procmail on
Solaris 5.8?
Thanks,

Hello:
I want to transfer my list to a different server. I've
looked at the FAQs, but can't find what I need to know,
namely, which files do I need to bring over...? Maybe the
safest bet is to xfer all of them, unless there's a downside
or problem in doing so. I would figure I'd create the list,
let Smartlist generate all the standard files, then overlay
them w/ mine from the previous working server:
accept
archive (folder)
archive.txt
bounces(folder)
dist (for sure...)
dist.old
footer.txt (ditto)
header.txt (ditto)
help.txt
log
moderators
msgid.cache (?)
rc.custom (a must)
rc.custom.old
rc.init
rc.local.s10 (which I use, so that's a must)
rc.local.s20 (ditto)
rc.request
rc.submit
reject
subscribe.txt
tmp.from
tmp.request
unsubscribe.txt
Thanks for any advice/help...

folks, i've implemented the below script per the FAQ to prepent
"[MPLS-OPS]" to the subject of all list messages.
However, the subject line is only adding "[-OPS]", any thoughts for a fix?
-----------
#
# rc.local.s10
#
#
# Insert the list name into the subject field (if not already there)
#
:0 fhw
* $ ! ^Subject:.*\[$MPLS-OPS]
* ^Subject:\/.*
| formail -I "Subject: [$MPLS-OPS]:$MATCH"

Hello everybody,
We are running a small list of about 250 users on a
Linux System using SmartList as the MailingList server.
The OS is Redhat Linux Release 7.0 and the Processor:
Pentium III running at 448 MHz with 128 MB RAM. By the
way, I have the KDE graphics environment ON all the time.
It takes around 5-10 minutes to send a single mail to all
the users. The MTA we have is sendmail that comes along
with Redhat distribution. Can any one help me improve the
performance of the mailing list server?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm attempting to use SmartList to send announcements to ~1700 members.
The problems is that, although the list works flawlessly with a dist file
containg ~10 addresses, when I use my large production dist file, not
everyone gets the message. My own addresses are in the dist file, but I
do not receive the message, although some addresses that appear before and
after mine do. Does anyone have an trouble-shooting ideas?
Thank You,
Jeremy Ellington
OK, I've noticed differences in the headers, but I still can't figure
out what the hell it's problem is sending each message twice...

This is a follow-up to my question earlier today. Apparently, the
administrators of my server DO block mass-mailing based on a secret
quota scheme (they will not tell me how the quota is measured). This
is happening even though their service agreement says nothing about
the prohibition of solicited mailing lists.
That said, is there anyway to throttle the smartlist message processing so
that I can defeat their misguided SPAM-blocking?
Thanks Again,
Jeremy
Can 'moderators' file have comments in it say, starting with # or ! ?
I have a main moderator and a backup moderator. I want to put both emails in the file with the backup moderator's email commented out so that I can uncomment it when the main moderator is unavailable (and comment out main's email address).
Thanks
Nishi
