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...

problem in recipe

von Zhiliang Hu

Following some advice/examples I had this recipe in my rc.local.s10: :0 BH * ^Subject: | formail -i "Subject: [Empty Subject Line]" \ | (/usr/bin/cat; /usr/bin/cat $INFO/reject.nosubj $tmprequest) \ | $SENDMAIL -t However this cause infinite loops in processing a posted mail. The log file shows many such lines: ........................ __________ >From foo@bar Wed Feb 26 12:10:58 2003 Folder: formail -R"From X-From_:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-To: -iRea 2463329 __________ >From foo@bar Wed Feb 26 12:11:08 2003 Folder: formail -R"From X-From_:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-To: -iRea 2492132 __________ ......................... __________ Subject: [Empty Subject Line] Folder: formail -i "Subject: [Empty Subject Line]" \ | (/usr/bin/c 5701200 To: list@mydomain From: scott(a)iastate.edu __________ Subject: [Empty Subject Line] Folder: formail -i "Subject: [Empty Subject Line]" \ | (/usr/bin/c 11403052 To: list@mydomain From: scott(a)iastate.edu __________ When I took out this recipe, loop disappears and list function return to normal. Any idea something is wrong? Thanks in advance! Zhiliang

How to redirect bounced emails to /dev/null instead of moderator ?

von Kapoor, Nishikant X

At times, subscribers in my mailing list have their quota full (or their mail server is down, etc. etc.) and as a result, postings to their addresses bounce. All these bounced emails are then coming back to me since I am the moderator of the list. I am managing three moderated lists, each having 1000+ subscribers and so, these bounced emails are turning out to be quite overwhelming. Is there a way to redirect these bounced emails to /dev/null instead of moderator ? Thanks Nishi

Size limiting auto notification for the sender

von Odri Kornel

Hi All! I have followed the steps described in the FAQ about the size limiting of the list and about sending auto notification for the sender. In the FAQ the place of this rule is said to be rc.local.00. The list archive contains the same. I assume it should be rc.local.r00, because if set in rc.local.s00 nothing happens. My problem with this is the following: If I send a mail bigger than the maximum size, then the owner-listaddr gets a message about the size not the sender. I've set the reply_to="Reply-To: owner-$listaddr" in rc.custom to avoid auto replays. In the tmp.from file I can see a foo@bar line after processing. It seems to me that the mail gets processed, the reply_to address is set, and the size check follows only then. The original sender gets no error messages . I might be wrong about this, but there are no other lines in config files or "binaries" which uses owner-listaddr. Any ideas how should I solve this problem?

Re: Subject line

Experience has shown that the best approach is to first remove all the email *known* to be good ( i.e. not spam) from the stream and then apply your spam filters (or spamassassin or spamkiller or spamboinker or...) to the remainder. Less work for you, less work for your filters. I chose smartlist as my listmanager (quite some time ago now) because it allowed be to configure my lists the way I want them to be and anyone else who has the software has that same opportunity. I did spend some time learning the background to some of the choices though so I could make informed decisions about those setup options. Since I work on a unix platform I have a much wider choice of tools to manage my email than others might have so I am free to rewrite the subject lines on my incoming email (should I choose to) and add all sorts of things. Perhaps if your email is proving to be a management problem you might want to consider moving to a platform that gives you more options to help you get it under control.
