multi-parts mail body processing problem

von Zhiliang Hu

Sometimes a mail going through my Smartlist is seen all mail body multi-parts in full text, like in: ___________start quote________________________________ --Apple-Mail=_550744D4-79AF-4AF1-944D-3EAEDC8521DF Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi everyone, .................................... ....................................... ............................ --Apple-Mail=_550744D4-79AF-4AF1-944D-3EAEDC8521DF Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii <html><head><meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html = charset=3Dus-ascii"></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; = -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" = class=3D"">Hi everyone,<div class=3D""><br class=3D""></div><div = ........................ .............................. ....................................... _________________________________end quote__________________ and sometimes an attachment is sent as BASE64 coded ascii text, which often not being able to be decoded by most recepient mail clients. I wonder does anyone see the similar, and what I should look into to correct this? Thanks in advance, Zhiliangh

Re: setting up Smartlist with sendmail

von 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: setup Smartlist with Postfix - alias config problem

von Zhiliang Hu

Figured out: it appears that the uid/gid/path are all built into the flist binary upon install, such that when the working location of the list is different from its installation location it cannot find the ".etc". When this happens it turned to "/" looking for it (guessing). When re-installed it works just fine.

setup Smartlist with Postfix - alias config problem

von Zhiliang Hu

I am setting up Smartlist with Postfix, and put in /etc/aliases a line like: myteam: "|exec /home/smartlist/.bin/flist myteam" the test mail gets bounced with this error: cannot open input. Command output: flist: Can't find ".etc" in "/" Why it's looking for ".etc" under "/"? I do have /home/smartlist/.etc/ that's parallel to /home/smartlist/.bin/, and everything in ~smartlist account looks identical to my old smartlists. I wonder if it's a wrong error or something is broken somewhere? Zhiliang

site to download Smartlist

von Zhiliang Hu

I need to set up Smartlist on my new server ... however the http://www.procmail.org site has been down for at least the past couple months (what's going on?). Anyone knows an alternative site to download the latest Smartlist? Thanks, Zhiliang

bug: submitter email account cannot form the start of the mailing list name

von alistair＠zoology.ubc.ca

Problem: a person on the distribution list whose email accountname is the same as the beginning of the listname CANNOT submit to the list. Even if "person(a)xx.yy.zz" is in the file accept(dist) or accept2, when they attempt to submit to "personlist(a)xx.yy.zz" they are seen as "Not on the accept list". I have the lastest software bits for Smartlist, in particular, for multigram.c I can see that the problem results from multigram returning an error (when it should not). For example, with "person(a)xx.yy.zz" in the accept file (linked to dist), and given this in file "msg": > Subject: got this? > Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2014 14:07:25 -0800 > To: personlist <personlist(a)xx.yy.zz> > From: person(a)xx.yy.zz > > That is really great. > el persono this formail|multigram pipe from rc.submit returns "worked": if cat msg|formail -X"From " -xFrom: -xReply-To: -xSender: -xResent-From: -xResent-Reply-To: -xResent-Sender: -xReturn-Path: |../.bin/multigram -b1 -m -l28672 -Lzoology.ubc.ca -xbpersonlist(a)zoology.ubc.ca -xbpersonlist-request(a)zoology.ubc.ca accept accept2; then echo worked; else echo failed; fi While this, with bpersonlist => personlist, fails: if cat msg|formail -X"From " -xFrom: -xReply-To: -xSender: -xResent-From: -xResent-Reply-To: -xResent-Sender: -xReturn-Path: |../.bin/multigram -b1 -m -l28672 -Lzoology.ubc.ca -xpersonlist(a)zoology.ubc.ca -xpersonlist-request(a)zoology.ubc.ca accept accept2; then echo worked; else echo failed; fi If someone could point to the unanchored match in the impressively dense code of multigram.c, I would be grateful. This problem happens often for me where we have a guy einstein(a)xx.yy.zz wanting to submit to his own lab's mailing list "einsteinlab(a)xx.yy.zz" Thanks, Alistair

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