Hi!
Can anyone please send me the confirm codes? I don't know how to
decompress tar.gz files. Or point me to a URL where I can
download the confirm codes without decompressing anything.
Also, is there a way to block off web-based servers such as
Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.?
Thanks!

Dear all,
I need help with a standard recipe from rc.request. The recipe
reads as follows:
* -100^0 B ?? ^^([ ]|$)*\
((((archives?:?($|[ ]+)|\
((send|get)(me)?|gimme|retrieve|mail|ls|dir(ectory)?|\
list|show|search|[fe]?grep|find|maxfiles|version|help|info)\
([ ].*)?$)([ ]|$)*)+\
([^ a-z].*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$)?)?)?)?)?^^|\
(help|info)[ ]*$|\
(add|join|leave|sign( [^ ]+ |-)?o(n|ff)|(un|de)?-?sub)\>)|\
([^ a-z].*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$)?)?)?)?)?^^|\
.*( (join|leave|add .* to|(delete|remove) .* from|\
(take|sign|get) .* off|(put|sign) .* on) .* [a-z-]*list|\
(un-?|sub?)scri(be|ption))\>|\
^^)
I have two questions:
1. What does the initial portion mean: "-100^0"?
2. What is the purpose of this portion: "$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$)?)?)?)?)?"?
The reason I'm asking is that a custom mail processor I wrote causes
random messages to be interpreted as admin requests by this recipe,
and forwarded to the moderator needlessly. If I comment out the
above recipe, the problem goes away. However I don't understand
how the recipe is triggered on those messages.
Thanks in advance

I have set up my new list as a moderator - I've got it uncommented in the
correct file and placed Approved: myemailaddress here in the headers and sent
it out to the list. Nothing is going to the list though. Did I leave
something out?
thanks! for your help

We are running Smartlist v3.15 and are running into a problem on Solaris 2.7. We have a mailing list with
around 15,000 names on it. Due to the downturn in the economy, we now have hundreds of bad addresses on the
list.
When a message goes out and we get hundreds of responses for bad addresses, Smartlist stops working. The
system is okay as long as there are only about 100 - 150 returned messages. After the system has more than
100 - 150 procmails running, multigram no longer runs and Smartlist stops processing the procmails.
This system has plenty of memory and swap space available. The number of procmails continues to grow
after Smartlist dies, and we have seen as many as 600 processes at one time. Once the system is rebooted,
Smartlist is okay again.
When Smartlist stops working we get these errors in the log after a while:
procmail: Terminating prematurely whilst waiting for lockfile "tmp.lock"
Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this? Is there a system parameter that needs adjusting?
Thanks,
Bill Endter
I know how to change the part that says "This is an automated
subscription..." but I don't know how to make it so that the headers of the
request are not included at the bottom. Any help would be greatly
appreciated... thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have set up the no attachments portion of the anti junk/html/attachment
script available in the FAQ.
It worked perfectly in our test list....
I then repeated exactly the same setup in our three largest lists which are
suffering really badly with the level of infection with the Klez virus
hoping that blocking the attachments would stop messages getting through.
What I dont understand is how today a load of infected messages have got
posted with their attachments in those three lists.
Has anyone else seen this happen while using the script?
Has anyone any bright ideas on how on earth we can protect our lists from
this virus? for us its destroying many years of hard work.
regards
David

Sorry, I forgot the space and the tab in the 3rd line before the
a-z0-9. That means the recipe is canceled if there is no alphabetic,
quoting or whitespace character in the first 8 lines, I think.
:0
* $$=^0
* !B ?? ^^(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$)?)?)?)?)?)?)?)?[^]>} a-z0-9]
* 9876543210^0 B ?? ^^.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$
{ }
So, I think if the recipe started working, it was because of the
length of the email, rather than the first character in the line
not being a space or tab.

How do I get the digested version not to belch on the undigested version
sending it messages to digest, complaining that it's coming from a
daemon?
