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']. 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?

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...

procbounce theory of operation?

von Jim Osborn

I'd like to get a sanity check/confirmation on how I think removals get processed by SmartList v3.15. From looking at the procbounce script in the distro, it seems that when a DSN, or other error message is received: 1: the offending address is extracted as "addr" 2: $addr is added to a file in bounces/, named per today's date 3: all but the most recent $maxhist files are removed from bounces/ 4: a count is made of all files in bounces/ that contain $addr 5: if $count >= $minbounce then $addr is removed Do I have that right? If so, the only mechanism for blessing a no-longer-bouncing address is when other bouncing addresses cause enough daily bounces/ files to be generated so that the old address passes out of the system. I had always thought there was some mechanism whereby successful delivery to an address would reset the counter for that address, so a bounce limit of, say, 4 meant that a subscriber needed 4 bounces without a successful delivery to be removed. But now I think I was very wrong, and the situation is much more complex and depends on a lot more than just the offending bouncer. As an extreme example, if one subscriber happened to be the only bouncer and he bounced, say, once a month, he'd still get removed after 4 months, no matter how many times he took delivery of the list traffic during all that time. Am I missing something? TIA, Jim

Auto-reply

von Jerry Sloan

Hello, I have been using the following recipe to generate an auto-reply message to customers who send e-mail to our support department. Well it just stopped working. Nothing has been changed. Any ideas why it would just stop working. Thanks Jerry Sloan REPLY_TEMP=/home/smart/fpsupport/autoreply.tpl REPLY_TEXT=/home/smart/fpsupport/autoreply.txt REPLY_SUBJECT="Your message has been received DO NOT REPLY to this e-mail" ORIG_SUB=`formail -zx Subject:` :0 whc | formail -rtzc -xTo: >tmp.from ; \ sed 's/\$SUBJECT/'"$ORIG_SUB"/g $REPLY_TEMP > $REPLY_TEXT :0 ch :autoreply.lock | (formail -rtzc -I "Subject: $REPLY_SUBJECT" \ -A"Precedence: reply" ; cat $REPLY_TEXT) | \ $SENDMAIL -t -f sysadm(a)fptech.net `cat tmp.from`

Archive to mbox? and other questions

von Gary Weinfurther

I have a few smartlist questions: 1. How can I save messages to an mbox file, where I can search it quicker and easier than opening thousands of individual message files? Ideally, I'd like to group the messages into mbox files by month. 2. I have an existing database of users, and I will be creating a web page where they can log in, see which lists they are subscribed to, and change their subscriptions. What is the best way to synchronize a database of user enrollments with the dist list? Should I rewrite the dist file from the database each time? The alternative method of sending an email with an XCommand seems like so much overhead, particularly since I don't want any email response to the command, and because I may need to subscribe a large number of users at once. Why isn't there a simple script, ala Mailman, for handling admin functions? 3. How can users select their own digest mode, rather than setting it globally for the list? Thanks in advance. -- Gary

Re: Archive to mbox? and other questions

von Zhiliang Hu

Chenge the line in "rc.submit" from "archive/archive/." to "archive/YOUR_MBOX_NAME" will do.
