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...

Kiran, Take a look at the 'suspend' add-on that lets a user suspend their subscription for a number of days. You can get it at ftp://www.pure.ch/pub/smartlist/ (The username and password don't matter) The description says: suspend: Enables the temporary unsubscription for a certain number of days. This is useful if someone doesn't want to read the list messages for a given number of days. Instead of sending two messages for unsubscribing and subscribing one suspend message is sufficient. Hope this helps, - Harshal __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Re: Smartlist problems with base64 encoded UTF-8

Roger, I currently use stripmime.pl to remove attachments from incoming messages but I don't decode base64-encoded messages. If textfilter can do that, please send it to me or let me know where I can download it from. Thanks, - Harshal __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Smartlist problems with base64 encoded UTF-8

by Harshal

As I mentioned earlier, I modified rc.local.s00 to store a copy of the incoming email before it got processed by Smartlist so that I could compare the 'before' and the 'after' to see why base64-encoded messages were getting garbled. I finally got a message that did get messed-up and on checking the headers, I found that everything was just fine. Smartlist didn't change anything that could have caused the problem. This was good because that's what I would have expected from a mailing list manager. This was bad because now I had to look a bit deeper as to why this was happening. Anyway, I did look a bit closer and found that the problem had nothing to do with Smartlist. I add a header and a footer to all the messages sent on the mailing list and these were confusing the MUAs when they tried to decode the base64 message. The apps assumed that the plain-text header was part of the encoded message and tried to decode it and failed. Mystery solved! I still don't know how to fix the problem but now I know what causes it. And that is good. Regards, - Harshal __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new Resources site http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/

creating subscreen program.

by kiran telangi

Hi, I have installed a SmartList-3.15 and now want to add the confirm module(addon). From the manual I got the Link to ftp://ftp.pure.ch/smartlist , ftp://gen.free.de/smartlist/confirm-1.2.tar.gz. But was not able to connect to these sites. are those down now onwards? And where else from i can get that module?. I also created a program subscreen. But that is not getting invoked when subscription request comes and subscribe requests are doing the subscription, though i have returned 1 for all conditions. I kept the program at path /usr/local/procmail-3.15/SmartList/bin as i had run the install script from /usr/local/procmail-3.15/SmartList/ Can you please help me regarding the matter? Thanks, Kiran. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Helps protect you from nasty viruses. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
