Pacing message output
by Jeremy Ellington 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

This is a follow-up to my question earlier today. Apparently, the administrators of my server DO block mass-mailing based on a secret quota scheme (they will not tell me how the quota is measured). This is happening even though their service agreement says nothing about the prohibition of solicited mailing lists. That said, is there anyway to throttle the smartlist message processing so that I can defeat their misguided SPAM-blocking? Thanks Again, Jeremy

comments in moderators file
by Kapoor, Nishikant X 06 Mar '02

Can 'moderators' file have comments in it say, starting with # or ! ? I have a main moderator and a backup moderator. I want to put both emails in the file with the backup moderator's email commented out so that I can uncomment it when the main moderator is unavailable (and comment out main's email address). Thanks Nishi

subscribe/unsubscribe problem
by Florian Petri 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

Hi! It seems to me that smartlist inserts 'hostname -f' as hostname into the messages, when someone wants to unsubscibe or to subscribe. How can I switch this to the real hostname for mail used by smail? or better: How can I define the adresses all myself, because I want to use the following construct: bla(a)domain.de forwarded to smartlist at bla(a)flop.swb.de. It would be fine if no one must use bla-request(a)flop.swb.de and could use a bla-request(a)domain.de... Thanks cu Floh

Remote Smartlist moderation
by Peter Wiltshire 03 Mar '02

03 Mar '02

I'm attempting to maintain a moderated Smartlist from a Windows PC (ie via e-mail). I've built a small SMTP client (in Delphi) that can massage the message header to successfully send X-Commands. But so far I have no luck in resending an 'Approved:' message back to the list so that it is distributed. Does anyone know what header lines need to be present, or if there's already a PC program that can do this for me, Thanks, Peter Wiltshire Peter Wiltshire KIS Software, Amsterdam (NOTE new e-mail is Peter(a)kissoftware.nl)

Pb moderator and attachment
by Frédéric Léger 03 Mar '02

Hi, I am using smartlist with a moderator and it is working fine but I've got a problem when I approve a message containing attachment. It seems that it does not recognize my approvement and send it back to me instead of diffusing it. Have you got an idea about this problem ?? Thanks.

Recipient Address in body or header?
by Barry A. Trent 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Does anyone know if it is possible to get smartlist to include in the body of the message (or as an additional header) the actual address from the dist file that each message is sent to? Frequently messages to my list bounce back to me from forwarded accounts which have expired, and I can't track down the bad address in my dist file. If I could see the original address as part of the bounced message it would make life much easier. +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Barry Trent Madness takes its toll -- have exact | | Triticom change ready! | | Box 46427 | | Eden Prairie, MN 55344 (The usual disclaimers apply) | +-------------------------------------------------------------+

moderator and attachment PB
by Frédéric Léger 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Hi, Has anybody had an idea about why smartlist does not work when I attach a file to a message using a moderator. It works fine without attachment. I saw that the header of the message is different if there is or not an attachment, but I thought smartlist was smart enough to face the eventuality ?! Well, if somebody know something, please, help me !!! Thanks.

X-Command's in subject or body
by Martin MOKREJŠ 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

Hi, I'm trying out to figure what is the syntax for unsubscription. I looks if I use the code from http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/SmartList-FAQ.html#Section_3.2 that users have to say: Subject: X-Command: unsubscribe , right? It also applies to the message body, right? Can someone explain me the sentence "Now X-Commands can go at the top of the message body. Add a blank line between the X-Commands and any other message content (as for instance with moderator approval)." from the above URL? Can you post an example of such moderator approval? I'm sorry for such stupid question, although I have been using majordomo for years and procmail for 2 years, smartlist is not that intuitive and the docs are not clear to me. :( TIA -- Martin Mokrejs - PGP5.0i key is at http://www.natur.cuni.cz/~mmokrejs MIPS / Institute for Bioinformatics <http://mips.gsf.de> GSF - National Research Center for Environment and Health Ingolstaedter Landstrasse 1, D-85764 Neuherberg, Germany tel.: +49-89-3187 3616 , fax: +49-89-3187 3585
