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...

unprocessed?

by Folkert van Heusden

Hi, We run aprox. 600 mailinglists using smartlist. Now occasionally we have the problem that if someone sends a short html e-mail message, they get returned with an "unprocessed" x-diagnostic. What can I do to fix this problem?

How to remove Received from field?

by Dr Jon Jenkins MLC

Hi Without explaining here (see below) I would like to remove the "X-Message-Info" and the "Received: " fields from mail sent to a list. I have managed to remove the X-Sender and X-Originating-Email by editing the rc.submit/rc.local.s20 but using the same technique foe the other fields does not work. I have the following in the rc.local.s20 file: :0 fhw | formail -IX-Message-Info: -IReceived -IX-Sender: -IX-Originating-Email: Can someone advise how I might do this? ======================== Now if you want to know why I want to do this its not some sinister hack, actually quite simple. I maintain several email lists totalling about 70,000 names and it is a hazard that some people get on the list by accident. I always provide for unsubscribing and as a very public figure (I am a member of the Parliament in my country) I am aware of the SPAM implications. However because I travel so much I redirect all my email from various accounts to a Hotmail Premium account which allows me to use Outlook to manage the address database and also to send and receive hundreds of emails daily from anywhere and on any internet connection. Also I can use Frontpage to construct "nice" email newsletters which then uses Outlook to send them to the list via my Hotmail account. So far so good! However it only takes 3 (I repeat just 3 people!) to complain to Hotmail about SPAM and they will shutdown your account AUTOMATICALLY without any contact or question even though you are a paying premium customer! So I am happy for people to contact me to either abuse me and/or to ask for removal from the list however I want to hide the fact that the original email was sent via my Hotmail account and the headers of the newsletter still have the header information like this: X-Message-Info: txF49lGdW41bSEufHX0Z8j6mSUSlMGNAGUJvcjBa8gk= Received: from host.our-web-host.com ([209.239.36.67]) by bay0-mc12-f19.bay0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.1830); Sun, 7 May 2006 02:50:40 -0700 As you can see from the above rc.local.s20 file these headers stay in! thanks jon Prof Jon Jenkins MLC Parliament House Macquarie Street Sydney NSW 2000 Sydney Office Ph/Fax 02-9230-2752/2205 Nth Coast Office Ph/Fax 02-6676-2947/1543 Mob 0429178817 jon(a)trac.org.au www.trac.org.au <http://www.trac.org.au/>
