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'].

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...

Problems with flush_digests

by Andrew Billinghurst

Anyone able to help with some problem-solving for flush_digests, or able to explain the options that can be used in flush_digest. I cannot find any documentation that explains it. :( I am getting the errors Subject: Cron <slist@lists2> /u1/slist/.bin/flush_digests /usr/sbin/sendmail: invalid option -- - another day I get /usr/sbin/sendmail: invalid option -- 7 I am used to the occasional breakage of digests and seeing the names of the affected lists in the error line, however, this sort of error has me flummoxed. Anyone got thoughts? Regards, Andrew

Smartlist doesn't do that. If you have a number of subscribers at one address, say yahoo.com or, as in my case usc.edu, it aggregates them and sends one message to that particular mail host with a whole bunch of names attached. Much more efficient for all concerned, but it makes it impossible to put individual messages to different subscribers. There are some list servers that do what you want. The one I happen to know does this is a commercial server made by Lyris. I suspect there are many more nowadays, since most of the spam I get seems to put all sorts of individualized content such as putting random garbage at the end of the Subject line, but I don't know much about them.

How to add "Your are subscribed as ..." in the email body

by Cedant Web Hosting

Is it possible to make the footer of the email list the person that the email was sent to. For example at the bottom of the email body, it would be able to say "You are subscribed as $user(a)$somedomain.com where it would put the users actual email address that received that letter. Thanks, Thomas
