Hmm... I checked, and while procmail is on Freshmeat, smartlist isn't. Might be a good idea...?

Multiple list subscriptions by email
by Tony Grimes 22 Aug '01

22 Aug '01

Hey guys, I posted before about the CGI script I'm rewriting for smartlist (originally written for majordomo). The script has to send seperate emails for each list a user wants to subscribe to using sendmail. If a user wanted to subscribe to five lists using our web form, would it work if the script requested one email with this header? To: webmaster(a)mycompany.com From: user(a)theircompany.com Cc: list1-request(a)mycompany.com, list2-request(a)mycompany.com, list3-request(a)mycompany.com, list4-request(a)mycompany.com, list5-request(a)mycompany.com Subject: subscribe (this could be in the body) Or would even a Bcc work? The bottom line is that I want the script to send only one email request to sendmail when subscribing a user to multiple lists. Otherwise, I'd have to put the sendmail code in a foreach loop (Perl), which I don't want to do. Any help would be much appreciated. .tony

how to retain original posts' details in a moderated list ?
by Kapoor, Nishikant X 21 Aug '01

21 Aug '01

Hi all, I just switched from a moderated 'majordomo' list and having following problems. Would really appreciate some response. - In majordomo, I could take the original post that came to me for approval, add my 'Approved: pwd' in first line of body and send it back to mailing-list and it would show up as if it was posted by the original sender, keeping the "Return-To: email', Date, etc. intact. Is there a similar feature in 'smartlist' ? Currently, I am 'forwarding' all the users' posts to the mailing-list with 'Approved: pwd' as the first line in body but in the process, I am losing all the details of the original post. Also, forwarding the post after approval puts the quotes in every line. I have a feeling that there should be a better way of achieving this functionality in smartlist but not sure how. - If a user is already subscribed and tries to subscribe again, is it possible to send him the following message back: ***** subscribe >>>>> You are already subscribed! Currently, user does not get any email/notification back but the moderator gets a copy of the subscriber's email. Could someone please suggest me some 'recipe' for this or point me in the direction were I can get one for these problems. Thanks Nishi

can not get 'moderated' to work !
by Nishikant Kapoor 18 Aug '01

18 Aug '01

Hi all, I have tried the doc/manual and the archives and yes, I did find a good deal of reference to this functionality but somehow, I am not able to get it to work. I have created a moderated list by turning 'moderated_flag= yes' in rc.custom but I am having problem submitting the approved post. As the designated moderator, I get the email with the original post but all my subsequent submissions tagged with 'Approved: my_email_id pwd' are coming back to me as it is. I have tried following but without any luck (all without quotes): 'Approved: my_email pwd' in subject 'Approved: my_email pwd' in body, as first line 'Approved: my_email' in subject 'Approved: my_email' in body, as first line Could someone please help me. Thanks Nishi

by Alan Northam 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

I am a new user of smartlist and when I subscribed to receive the newsletter I was sent a confirmation email which surprised me because I am using smarlist for my mailing list and it does not send out a confirmation email when someone subscribes to the list. How can I get smartlist to send a confirmation email when someone joins my list? Thanks for your help! Alan,

smartlist blocking daemon submissions that are wanted by list users
by Gregory Malsack 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

Hello All, I just started using smartlist. I have the smart list setup with the address support(a)data-direct.com. That address is supposed to receive backup and ups notifications from our customers and send them to the techs in our office. However, I noticed that the backup and ups e-mails are considered daemons and just get dropped into the request file. How can I modify the support list config to allow submissions from these daemons? Sincerely, Gregory Malsack Technical Sales & Service Manager Data Direct/Data Vista Inc. Voice: (262) 790-1188 Fax: (262) 790-1195 Mobile: (414) 530-9552

user subscription by email
by Tony Grimes 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

Hi My company will be switching to smartlist from majordomo in the couple weeks. I'm new to this list and do not have access to the installed documentation, so I have a couple quick questions. I've written a web form script for our clients to subscribe to our majordomo lists (we have several) using sendmail and I have to modify it for smartlist. Can anyone tell me the email syntax needed for the script to add an email address to multiple lists? For example, this is the syntax I used for majordomo (contained in the message body): subscribe user(a)company.com list1-l subscribe user(a)company.com list2-l subscribe user(a)company.com list3-l Is there a similar feature in smartlist? What email address would this message be sent to? I found a related question in the faq at: http://www.hartzler.net/smartlist/SmartList-FAQ.html#Section_2.5 but I would like to have the email address and lists specified in the message body and not the header. Any help would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Tony Grimes Webmaster PPDM Association http://www.ppdm.org
