The procmail script to quarantine potentially malicious Microsoft Outlook(r) attachments has its own web page now: http://www.johncon.com/john/QuarantineAttachments/ It can use SmartList as the quarantining mechanism.

Administer not working ?
by olinux 05 Aug '01

05 Aug '01

Hi all - I am using Smartlist preinstalled by my hosting co. When I try to "administer" the list I receive a success message, but nothing happens... Nothing is sent to the maintainers email, no users are subscribed to the list. I have no idea why this is, and my host company has told me that it is working. I really nee to solve this quickly. Thanks much, Josh _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

How to *not* forward "Already on the subscriber list" to the list owner?
by Rene Pijlman 04 Aug '01

04 Aug '01

Can Smartlist be configured to *not* forward messages with the "Already on the subscriber list" x-diagnostic to the list owner? As a list owner I don't think I need to see this message every time someone tries to subscribe twice. Don't ask me why, but with my list this happens quite often. I think this event can safely be ignored. Regards, René Pijlman

Some minor corrections. There is a copy/paste error in 4 recipes of the reject_garbage file: | formail -i "Subect: ***content REJECT engaged by rob*********"| ... ^^^^^^ I would change the shell in quotereject and rejectmsg from /bin/ksh to /bin/sh (I did it without problems) because the korn shell is not available by default on some *nixes.

How to add a keyword in the subject field?
by Martin St-Laurent 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to automatically add a keyword in the subject field. For exemple, I'm subscribed to a mailing list and the subject is always like [java-list]...., when I see a message with this subject, I know that it is comming from the java mailing list. Thank you!

strange behavior
by Drew Krause 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I'm admin for a list and all mail sent to the list address gets to me and no-one else, but all mail I send to the list goes to everyone on it. Any idea what the problem would be here? We are running a few other smartlists on our server and don't have this trouble (this is the only list that has digests). Help! Any leads appreciated!

Can I disable pipe through splitmail?
by Neil Darlow 31 Jul '01

31 Jul '01

Hi, I have smartlist-3.15 running under FreeBSD-4.3 nicely. My problem is with dependencies on metamail programs because my server doesn't have X installed (needed to build metamail). I have located a standalone packaging of mimencode but can't find the same for splitmail. Can I remove the pipe-though-splitmail feature in mimesend as a means of working around this deficiency?

Considering how often this question comes up, I don't think you can reasonably argue that it isn't confusing.

List accepting all posts
by segura＠attcanada.ca 30 Jul '01

30 Jul '01

For some reason, one of the lists I manage has started to accept postings from anyone. It was setup as a subscriber-only list, and I've looked at the rc.custom file to check that the flag is set. I've even tried setting the flag on and off (removing and adding back the #), and it seems to be ignoring that control. I must say that the logic of the comment is a bit baffling - it says "# uncomment this line if you want to restrict submitting to people on the accept list" and yet it has the word "yes" as the default term to use. To me, this flag should be either "yes" if you want anyone to be able to post, or "no" if you don't. Otherwise, it should be "uncomment this line if you DO want anyone to be able to post". #foreign_submit = yes ##foreign_submit </gets off soap-box/> Can anyone shed any light on how I can get it working? Is there some other thing that could be interfering? TIA Joe
