Fw: Smartlist: Sometimes Wrong
by MRFA Membership Chairman 04 Apr '01

Don, Here's an example of a problem users have with Smartlist. The software is actually about as "smart" as a box of rocks! The Smartlist Junkies insist all the users are idiots because they just won't stand on their heads while using this arcane UNIX software, instead preferring to use such user-hostile software as Outlook Express. I have to agree with the Smartlist geeks: If you can't program in COBOL you shouldn't be using a computer! ----- Original Message ----- From: "PSE - Listserv account" <PSE-L(a)mail.professional.org> To: "Mailing" <mailing(a)bordercapital.com>; Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 8:41 PM Subject: Re: Smartlist: Sometimes Wrong > At 15:43 2001-04-03 -0700, Mailing wrote: > > >Actually this message was not sent for subscription. why it went to > >subscription routine.

When a person posted a message on my mailing list. Sometimes not success. I found the message in the header of email below: ========================================== X-Diagnostic: Already on the subscriber list X-Diagnostic: 80 db2(a)list.com 32760 db2(a)list.com ========================================== Actually this message was not sent for subscription. why it went to subscription routine. Anybody knows this? Thanks!

Conflict between "reply to list" and "[listname]" in header?
by Lu Rudolph 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

I added an rc.local.s10 file to my list directory to add "[listname]" to the headers of all mailing list messages. That worked fine. Then in the rc.custom file, I uncommented "reply_to=$listaddr" and set it o "reply_to="Reply-To: $listaddr". That works, but now I've lost the "[listname]" in the message headers. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Thanks, Lu Rudolph

Hi folks, I try to install SmartList on a providers freebsd server. I have only a virtual-server with only one user-acount 'XAVER'. My mailing is called 'testing'. Before I created it like this: createlist testing lm(a)inno-media.com Now I only get dead.letters like this one: >From -request(a)inno-media.com Tue Mar 27 11:04:43 2001 Return-Path: -request(a)inno-media.com Received: (from xaver@localhost) by anabell10.hetzner.de (8.9.1/8.6.12) id LAA23621 for lm(a)inno-media.com;

returning mail
by Felipe Franciosi 28 Mar '01

28 Mar '01

Hi, I couldn't find it on the documentation and the messages on the archive did not reflected exactly what I'm looking for, so I'm writing to the list. I would like procmail to check the size of the mbox file before droping the new arrived message down there. I think this should be something more hardcoded than a rc script. If the size exceeds "x" bytes (pre-defined), I want it to pick up the "From" email address on the begining of the mail and send a mail back to this guy, telling him his message was not delivered. I'm not sure if I have made myself clear, but what I want is something like this: john(a)foobar.com sends a mail to maria(a)mynetwork.com 1) the MX sendmail (MTA) for 'mynetwork.com' will accept the message and engage procmail to deliver the message. 2) procmail will check the size of "maria"s mailbox, and if it's larger than, let's say, MAXMAILBOX (defined in a configuration file anywhe- re), it will get the "From" line (containing john(a)foobar.com) from the body of the email, and send him a predefined message (perhaps a file also defined on the configuration file?). I couldn't find this feature on my release (3.15. 1), and nothing exa- ctly like this discussed here before. Does anyone knows how to do it? Or if it have to be coded, where in the code should I insert such routine? Thanks, Felipe -- Felipe Franciosi <fmfr(a)terra.com.br>

I have a mailing list that contains 78 addresses on it. If I edit the accept file directly, I can see all the names. But, if I send an Xcommand to mail me the addresses on it, I only get 59 names back. People have been complaining that they are not getting the mail. How can I fix this? TIA Joe

At 10:49 AM -0500 3/9/01, Tom Mahoney is rumored to have typed: > If I should have sent to the list...I shall. And, I note, forwarded to the list a message sent by me to you PRIVATELY without my permission. Perhaps you should spend more time learning proper netiquette, and less time b*tching about SmartList. Forwarding mail sent PRIVATELY to a PUBLIC mailing list without the permission of the author is about as low as you can get...which is exactly why I _didn't_ reply to you on-list, but rather privately, suggesting you should have sent your message to the list instead of to me since my views on this issue should be well-known to you from my previous responses. Note I had the decency NOT to send your posting to the list without your permission - something you need to learn immediately before you post to _any_ mailing list on the net. (This improper behavior is grounds for immediate explusion on the mailing lists _I_ operate. I would have expected more from someone at F&M...they appear to have considerably lowered their standards in CS.) As to the rest...there's no point to my wasting the time responding. Knock yourself out having the last word...I won't bother replying to you again. Charlie (who apologizes to the list for this unseemly exchange)
