I'm seeing something strange with my lists and am wondering if there is a fix. I'm using the script cited in the FAQ to add a short footer to every message sent to the list. This footer contains information on how to unsubscribe from the list. I'm noticing that messages containing stylized text are being forwarded by the list without the footer. Messages sent in plain text are forwarded with the footer. Is there a work-around for this (other than blocking stylized text?) Thanks, Irwin

Disregard previous

von Lisa D. Wagner

This (my post below) I finally found an answer to in the archives, but now I have a new question: If I'm including the Approved: me(a)mydomain.com in the first line of the body (for a moderated list), does it only work if I'm sending email in plain text? Do we need to send out ALL our list emails plain text? I think one of the moderators uses AOL set to HTML email. Thanks! Lisa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa D.

OPT-IN List S u b s c r i p t i o n s

von higgins＠peg.com

Is anyone doing anything with integrating OPT-IN subscriptions into their smartlist environment? The kind where a subscription request sends a message which must be responded to in order for the subscription to be approved? If so, what are you using and how well does it work? -- Greg Higgins higgins(a)peg.com

Re:is the accept list easy to bypass?

von Llorenc Sole

> Er...might you want to tell me what's wrong with making the list >moderated, using the password scheme already built into SmartList to avoid >anyone bypassing the admittedly-light security of delinking the accept/dist? You are right, the moderated list is the way to get an announcement-only list. At first, I thought it was a two step process (sending the message to the list and then having the moderator to manually approve it for redistribution), which seemed to me cumbersome. Now, I've figured out it's enough adding the Approved line at the top of the announcement for immediate distribution. What I'm not sure is about the relationship between the moderated_flag and foreign_submit options. If foreign_submit is disabled, do I have to put the moderator address in the accept file (seems to me so) or moderator messages with good Approved lines are always distributed?

is the accept list easy to bypass?

von Llorenc Sole

Hi, I plan to use smartlist for a announcements only list, where only a person will be able to post to the list. From the manual, I uncomment force_submit, delink the accept file and put in it the authorized email address for posting. I wonder if this method is not too easy to bypass by a malicious subscriber. It seems enough to configure any email program with the posting address to spam the list (and I'd say this address is sent in the headers). Am I wrong? If not, what can be done to avoid this without making the list moderated? TIA, Llorenc Sole Maresme Netcom, S.L.

Access and Dist files

von Carlos Santos

Hi. This is probably a stupid question: How do i subscribe (manually) some addresses to the dist file and have them immediately replicated to the access file ? It has something to do with linking the files but i can't seem to find a doc that explains this.

is possible to include destination email address in message?

von Llorenc Sole

Hi, I wonder if this is possible with smartlist: sometimes people (like me) have more than one email address and do not remember which one was used to susbcribe to a list. In some lists I've seen a sentence at the end of every message sent by the list like: "You are subscribed as: username(a)domain.com" ...which is helpful when the users want to unsubscribe and forgot the email address they used. Is there a way to get this feature with smartlist? TIA, Llorenc Sole Maresme Netcom, S.L.
