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...

Problem with digest

by Paul 'Baloo' Johnson

How do I get the digested version not to belch on the undigested version sending it messages to digest, complaining that it's coming from a daemon? -- Baloo

Ack - I messed up!

by Teresa Feral

Hi - people have been helping me setup my mailing list and I appreciate all the help. I've done as muchas I can with the FAQ and smart list manual but I am stuck and have a bunch of digest people freaking out because they cannot post to the list. I have a list with both regular mail and digest mail. I have setup the accept2 file and placed it in the digests folder. How do I tell the program to look in there, too, for people allowed to post? I tried manually adding people to the accept file in the regular mail folder, but that caused MUCH chaos as it started sending regular mail to those people :( Any ideas on what to edit to make it find accept2 would help greatly, I can't seem to get any farther with the manual or FAQ. Thanks!!!!!!! Teresa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - your guide to health and wellness http://health.yahoo.com

How to easily switch between (non)digested list?

by Gyelt Tuinstra

Hi, Can anyone please give me a pointer or example: I would like my non-technical list-subscribers to be able to easily switch between a normal and a digested list. So that when they subscribe to one, while already subscribed to the other, the original subscription is (silently) removed. I didn't find a reference on how to do this in the manual or faq. Is there a reason that I shouldn't want to do this? Next-best solution would be to implement an extra "switch" command, may be... Is there a way to do this, without a lot of editing of the sources?

Help if possible :)

by Teresa Feral

Hi I am having a lot of problems changing some stuff on my mailing list. I can find the lines that need to be edited, but I am not sure whether I am commenting or uncommenting (some have one #, others have ## - not sure which is which) I've read over the manual, and I followed the steps to do the following things, but they don't seem to be working. If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. I'm trying to add the name of the list to the Subject line, having replies sent to the list instead of the sender, eliminating attachments and HTML, and having the digest come out at a regular interval (I had 5 sent out on the first day with a range of 2-18 messages!) Thanks in advance :) Teresa --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - your guide to health and wellness

Klez worm forging moderator's address?

by KEVIN ZEMBOWER

I'm not sure if this is really what's happening or not, but thought I would ask if anyone else is seeing this. I have a couple of lists using SmartList which are announcement-type lists. Only the moderator is allowed to post to them. Today, one of the moderators asked if his announcement was sent out twice last week. The mail logs showed two receipts from his address to the email list's address. One was from our mail system, but another was from a system I didn't recognize. Since both were from him (had his email address in the From: field), the message was sent out twice. The second one could have possibly contained a virus, since the message size was about 1700 bytes larger than the first. My questions: 1.) Is this a possible scenario with SmartList? I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't work. 2.) Is there any protection to avoid this? I can't think of any setting to make the system reject messages from the moderator which DON'T come from a particular mail system. Is there any other way? Moderator must approve his own posts? Thanks for your help with this. I scanned the threads for the last two months on this forum, but didn't see anything that I thought would pertain to this. Please forgive me if I overlooked it and you point it out to me. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.
