How to use rc.local.s10.mhonarc ?
by Kapoor, Nishikant X 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

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 19 Jul '18

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 19 Jul '18

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...

Re: setting up Smartlist with sendmail

Now I am setting up Smartlist with qmail (on a RH mamchine). qmail is installed and tested. Previously I only copied Smartlist over from a similar platform (RH Linux). Now I decided to install from the source: I unpackaged SmartList-3.15 over procmail-3.22 (I cannot find procmail-3.15, thus by tweaking the folder name I managed to have them in the same dirrectory "procmail-3.15"). Now when I run > cd procmail-3.15/SmartList > sh install.sh /home/slist it spit out endlessly the following line: install.sh3: line 3: cd: .: Not a directory install.sh3: line 3: cd: .: Not a directory install.sh3: line 3: cd: .: Not a directory ... that evenually I had to kill the process. Is it a version problem or else? Zhiliang

As I lifted that I was able to trace from "X-Mailing-List" as you have described. For some reason I was able to get the variable $ARCHIVE not in rc.local.s20 but in rc.local.s30, which is included right after "# Main header munger" section in rc.submit Tried to see how $ARCHIVE is generated in .bin scripts - don't have luck. But anyway I got what I need. Thank you and have a nice weekend! Zhiliang

I may have overlooked somewhere? For digest: X-Mailing-List: <$listaddr> archive/volume$Year/$Issue For standard mail, check rc.submit, and the $ARCHIVE variable: X-Mailing-List: <$listaddr> $ARCHIVE. Should be available by rc.local.submit.20. Charlie

archive file name
by Zhiliang 01 Mar '13

I seem to remember there used to be a mail header on SmartList out-going mails to show the path/file_name (usually a number) of the archived copy of the mail, but cannot find how to make it appear from all online FAQs and other available documentations. I may have overlooked somewhere? My actual need is to bring the archive path/file information into the mail body, with an inserted line saying how to access an online copy if the mail body contains truncated URL or in bad formats. Any hint to get that info would be much appreciated. Thanks! Zhiliang ps: This list has been quiet. It appears there are not many enthusiastic new users any more?
