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?

von 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'].

Re: does anyone find it ironic that smartlist mailing list is using Mailman?

von 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...

new confirm package

von Werner Reisberger

To allow also email addresses with characters like "? * +" in the user part of an email address (thats permitted by RFC822) I released a new version of the confirm package (v. 1.2.5). It's available from ftp.pure.ch/pub/smartlist/ Werner

an example of a simplified subscribe command

von Seth Chaiklin

For now I have simply kludged the following (inadequate) solution (mostly because my recipe writing ability remains at "trial-and-error"). 1. In aliases file: listname-subscribe: "|exec /home/list/.bin/flist listname-request" 2. Activiate rc.local.r10 in rc.custom 3. rc.local.r10 is called in rc.request and contains a preemptory :0: | subscribe (Yes, I know, this is a catastrophe ... but in my case, I have just started the list, and while I am waiting for a week or two for people to sign up, I am hoping I can find a better solution!) ---------------------------------- What would be better is that there is a recipe in rc.request that would check the "To" field. If it was "listname-subscribe" or "listname-unsubscribe", then it would do the appropriate actions. I am sure it is trivial. But even if I have been using Smartlist for 5 years, I am not very smart about it, and my trial-and-error attempts to make recipes here did not give good results, hence my query to this list. Cheers, Seth Chaiklin

a simplified subscription command?

von Seth Chaiklin

I could not figure out (nor find in the FAQ) how to allow persons to subscribe with: listname-subscribe(a)host.tld This is much easier to explain to novices. There must be a variety of solutions, but some are probably more elegant (and secure) than those that I could create. Thanks for any advice. Sincerely, Seth Chaiklin

Pb whith huge list...

Well, we have a huge list (more than 50,000 subscribers). Of course, with so many subscribers, we have a large number of request actions (sub, unsub, bounces, etc). And some time, multigram gone in the nirvhana ;~{ The load average grow up, and all things are locked. ~>top 8:25am up 4 days, 9:41, 2 users, load average: 10.24, 9.74, 8.33 ....

Limiting the number of emails on the list

von Harshal

Hi, A few of my members are asking for daily per-person message limits. I am pretty sure that doing this is quite difficult so I am not even going to try it. However, I am interested in figuring out if I can limit the total number of messages per day on the list. I have a general idea of how to do this (increment a file-based counter for each message; check the value against the limit; if less, pass the message to the next stage; if threshold exceeded, replace the accept file with a file with only my address in it) but am not sure how feasible this is. Has anyone tried something like this? Thanks, Harshal ===== http://www.mumbai-central.com : Where Mumbaikars meet __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
