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...

The links http://www.procmail.org/procmail-3.22/ http://www.procmail.org/SmartList-3.15/ http://www.procmail.org/procmail-beta/ causing a loop with my Netscape browser and leading to a foreign site with lynx. I want to have access to the development sources or CVS archive if available. Werner

Smartlist / Solaris 2.7 problem
by Bill Endter 31 May '02

31 May '02

We are running Smartlist v3.15 and are running into a problem on Solaris 2.7. We have a mailing list with around 15,000 names on it. Due to the downturn in the economy, we now have hundreds of bad addresses on the list. When a message goes out and we get hundreds of responses for bad addresses, Smartlist stops working. The system is okay as long as there are only about 100 - 150 returned messages. After the system has more than 100 - 150 procmails running, multigram no longer runs and Smartlist stops processing the procmails. This system has plenty of memory and swap space available. The number of procmails continues to grow after Smartlist dies, and we have seen as many as 600 processes at one time. Once the system is rebooted, Smartlist is okay again. When Smartlist stops working we get these errors in the log after a while: procmail: Terminating prematurely whilst waiting for lockfile "tmp.lock" Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this? Is there a system parameter that needs adjusting? Thanks, Bill Endter

I know how to change the part that says "This is an automated subscription..." but I don't know how to make it so that the headers of the request are not included at the bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks! Darby

Klez virus bypasses attachment rejection script?
by David Kelly 28 May '02

28 May '02

Hi everyone, I have set up the no attachments portion of the anti junk/html/attachment script available in the FAQ. It worked perfectly in our test list.... I then repeated exactly the same setup in our three largest lists which are suffering really badly with the level of infection with the Klez virus hoping that blocking the attachments would stop messages getting through. What I dont understand is how today a load of infected messages have got posted with their attachments in those three lists. Has anyone else seen this happen while using the script? Has anyone any bright ideas on how on earth we can protect our lists from this virus? for us its destroying many years of hard work. regards David

That means the recipe is canceled if there is no alphabetic, quoting or whitespace character in the first 8 lines, I think. :0 * $$=^0 * !B ?? ^^(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$)?)?)?)?)?)?)?)?[^]>} a-z0-9] * 9876543210^0 B ?? ^^.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$ { } So, I think if the recipe started working, it was because of the length of the email, rather than the first character in the line not being a space or tab. -- Greg Matheson All teaching is teaching Chinmin College under difficult circumstances.
