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?

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...

Help, please. Mail ditribution doesn't work...

by Yuri Shchedov

Hello all, I tried to install Smartlist 3.15 on my Linux box but I cannot get it worked properly. Maintainer address: eye-admin(a)strace.net Domain name: sphinx.strace.net mailing list: t(a)sphinx.strace.net When I subscribe e-mails everything works fine. One letter comes to subscriber and one multigram letter arrives to mailbox of maintainer. Showdist command shows correct values too. When I send message to t(a)sphinx.strace.net, nobody gets messages except maintainer. I tried to use listname-dist alias in sendmail aliases.db but it doesn't work too. To make clean output I made new "t" mailing list and subscribe two new addresses. Than I sent test message to t(a)sphinx.strace.net. Message was received by maintainer only (eye-admin(a)stace.net). Here is the dist file, aliases and logfile. DIST FILE: (Only addresses below this line can be automatically removed) ygs(a)strace.net sales(a)strace.net ALIASES: t: "|exec /home/slist/.bin/flist t" t-request: "|exec /home/slist/.bin/flist t-request" I put LOG FILE to my http-server: http://sphinx.strace.net/SMARTLIST/log I'm very new to Smartlist and I cannot get right answer... Thanks, Yuri P.S. I tried to install procmail 3.15 and 3.22 without success.

confirm 1.3.4 released

by Werner Reisberger

There is a new confirm package on ftp://ftp.pure.ch/smartlist confirm is an addon to SmartList which enables lists to process un/subcriptions only after confirmations. This helps to avoid mailicious un/subcriptions and invalid list entries. Werner

From some addresses it's impossible to post into a smartlist

by ac

I've been having this problem too. (Addresses without a "." in the name are rejected by the list as well.) Today I found that emails sent from the Mac OSX email client and Yahoo webmail (from subscribed addresses) were rejected by SmartList and forwarded to the maintainer. When I sent emails from the same addresses using the mail() function in a quick php script, the emails were accepted and distributed to the list. I have also experienced an email address/client suddenly stop working. My client had been using the lists created with SmartList for months (using MS Outlook, I believe) when his emails mysteriously stopped being accepted by the list and delivered to the maintainer only. I'd be happy to foward headers from accepted and rejected emails to anyone who might be able to help out. Thanks, Andy
