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...

Re: setting up Smartlist with sendmail

by Zhiliang Hu

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

Re: mail body

by Zhiliang

Charlie - Thanks for the clarification. I have been using it for plain text only. Now this is straight.

It treats "modern mails" the same way it treats "antique mails;" as a stream. If you want only plain-text mails in your list, you need to reject or convert multipart outside of SmartList.

Truth is, IMHO, one of the things that makes it such an excellent tool even now is that it _doesn't_ munge the body.) > and if I > can take that part out (e.g. is it in "rc.submit"? etc). There's nothing to remove. SmartList is working exactly as-designed; passing the message on to the list mostly the way it found it (header changes notwithstanding). Charlie

mail body

by Zhiliang

I have a new list, that turns all attachable parts/hyper text to plain text into the mail body (see lower part for an example). I did an experiment, using procmailrc code to only forward to a list of emails with ! `cat listfile` which passes the mails with multi-parts well. I wonder which part of the smartlist converts mordern mails to old fashioned plain text(?), and if I can take that part out (e.g. is it in "rc.submit"? etc).
