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...

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

by Vladislav Kasik

Hello I've been running a couple od mailing lists using smartlist for years. I'm using procmail version 3.22-5 (standard Redhat 7.3) + smartlist 3.15. Recently I've ran into a very strange problems which I think that it might be a bug or inconsistency in smartlist. From some email addresses it's impossible to post a message into a mailing list. The message gets bounced to the list maintainer. All I get in log file is: Subject: Folder: formail -R"From X-From_:" -iDate: -iReturn-Receipt-To: -iRe 1440 In the bounced message header there is: X-Diagnostic: Already on the subscriber list X-Diagnostic: 4 xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.cz 32720 xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.cz The email is already on subscribe list of course, but other emails that are there too work fine. This mostly happens with emails containing . character in a name of a person. But not all of them, some work fine. Seems like some combination of mail header problems. Any suggestions or ideas what to do, or where the problem might be? Thanks in advance for help. Vladia

Which procmail version for lates SmartList?

by Hans-Albert Schneider

Hello list, after almost 4 years of successful and smooth use of SmartList 3.13.1 (the flist binary dates Nov 18, 1999) I consider to upgrade. [The 4 years refer to this particular release; I am a procmail/SmartList user since 1993 (that was version 2.7x, I think). And just as a curio: I sent my first subscribe request to the SL list even before Stephen had created it :-).] So I went to www.procmail.org to get the latest and greatest versions, and found procmail-3.22.tar.gz and SmartList-3.15.tar.gz. 3.22 and 3.15? In the past, the procmail and SmartList version numbers used to be the same: SmartList 3.13.1 required procmail 3.13.1, and so on for earlier versions, as far as I my memory reaches back. So, please bear with someone who returns after several years, and get me up-to-date again: Does SL 3.15 require procmail 3.15, or does it also work with procmail 3.22 without problem? Furthermore, the web page is confusing about the current stable version. First, it says "procmail version 3.22 released", then it says "The current stable version of procmail is 3.15.2.", later on, it says "With version 3.22, the 3.2x line of development is believed to be as stable and safe as the 3.15.x line of development." In the "Source code" section, both the HTTP and FTP links point to a procmail-3.22.tar.gz.

report a problem

by Zhiliang Hu

As the results of recent wild email "worms" clugging the internet, my smartlist has taken off hundreds of good email addresses off one of our research discussion lists (15% of total) due to repeated SMTP connection failure (time out), and the mail delivery has become VERY SLOW (for a mail it used to take 3 minutes to distribute, it now takes 5-7 days!). Anyone else experience similar? Although I can find those wrongly removed addresses from the log file and "manually" (with a script) add them back, I wonder can this community do something? Zhiliang
