Hi everyone,
I manage several lists and have a recurring problem
When there are many replies in a thread the actual title of the
message eventually is hard to see for all the RE:[listname]'s in
front of it.
Is it possible to stop the repeated addition of RE:[listname] to the
front of the subject title everytime it is answered? just leaving
one?
(even with all my reminders people still forget to get rid of
them!!)
best regards

Greetings from a listowner who is trained in networks, not mail lists;
I have a smartlist set up (sort of) and it's already production with
members. The individual e-mails are flying nicely. Unfortunately,
I have not been able to get the digest to work. I'm confused about a
couple of things and find nothing in the FAQ or manual (yes, I really
do read them)
In the digest directory rc.custom, the appropriate lines read:
#digest_flag
digest_flag = yes # uncomment this if you want digests
digest_age = 86400 # maximum age of a digest in seconds
#digest_size = 32768 # maximum size of a digest in bytes
#undigested_list = $list@$domain # Reply-To: address for digests
and in the digest-d directory rc.custom is:
#digest_flag
digest_flag = yes # uncomment this if you want digests
digest_age = 86400 # maximum age of a digest in seconds
#digest_size = 32768 # maximum size of a digest in bytes
undigested_list=911@$domain
but I get no digests. See anything wrong there? (I did set it up to
release the digest every 86400 - 24 Hrs.)
Which rc.custom file gets edited for what?
Why do both directories contain archives?

Hello:
Not sure whether anybody can help, but I am having
trouble using the smartlist software to work with
Cgi-Scripts.
I have 8 newsletters and would like to know if it is
possible to use a cgi form with a smartlist
subscription email address.
I realise that in a normal subscription you simply
send the email....but how can it be made to work
with a form, without it needing to open up the
Inbox.
Thanks in advance.
Ian

I use mostly web based e-mail services which doesn't allow editing headers
or allowing for e-mail resends written by others (I have looked at a few
e-mail clients and have yet to find one that does this).
I was wondering if there is a receipe that would allow approvals for a
moderated list by forwarding the e-mail to the list by the moderator. Is
this possible? I have read the smartlist manual and the faq and didn't find
this question addressed.
I checked out the majordomo faq and the approvals are done via forward with
the first line of the forward being "Approved: "password.
Thanks for the help.

Here's the recipe I use:
#
# rc.local.s10
#
#
# Insert the list name into the subject field (if not already there)
#
:0 fhw
* $ ! ^Subject:.*\[$list]
* ^Subject:\/.*
| formail -I "Subject: [$list]:$MATCH"
This recipe won't add the listname if it's already anywhere in the
subject line.

Hi,
I am using SmartList as provided my web hosting service (WebSiteSource).
I have a question about subscribing people to the list. I have set up a form
on my web site to take subscriptions to my mailing list. The form sends an
email to the "-request" address from the requesting address with a subject
of subscribe. This appears to work well, and I get an e-mail back to the
list administrator only in the case of someone subscribing who is already on
the list.
When I subscribe someone using X-Command, I get an e-mail back to the list
administrator in every case with the top eight multigram matches, and it
seems to add the e-mail address and send a welcome message to the
subscribing e-mail whether they are on the list or not.
I guess what I would prefer that the X-Command method work more like the
user subscribe method, and that if someone is subscribed that is already on
the list, that they *not* be sent a welcome message. Is this possible?

When testing the form I set up for subscriptions I noticed that if an e-mail
address is close to one the is already subscribe smartlist doesn't subscribe
it. I was just using short common names like bob@mydomain, tom@mydomain,
etc. Then I used rob@mydomain and noticed that it wouldn't subscribe so
then I tried rom@mydomain and som@mydomain and neither one of them would
either. It seems that if only the first letter is different it won't
subscribe. I'm just wondering if there is a fix for this or does everyone
think that this won't happen too often anyways.
Any thought would be appreciated.
Thank-you,
Ron
hi.
i've made the auto-reply a bit more robust and
bloated :)
place the following in rc.local.s20 and uncomment
the corresponding line in your unlinked rc.custom.
REPLY_TEMP is a text file that gets mailed back
to the original sender. it will be sent as
MAIL_FROM. if you want to put a user name in the
header From: line, do so in HDR_FROM. The subject
will be set to REPLY_SUBJECT.
if you want to use the original subject in your
reply, place `$SUBJECT' where you want it to
appear in the REPLY_TEMP file and set MUNGE_BODY
appropriately.
feel free to mail me if you have questions about
this. i'll do my best to answer them.
-r
#MUNGE_BODY=no
REPLY_TEMP=/path/to/autoreply.txt
MAIL_FROM="moo(a)cow.org"
HDR_FROM="moo(a)cow.org (moo!)"
REPLY_SUBJECT="Message Received"
ORIG_SUB=`formail -zx Subject:`
:0 whc
| formail -rtzc -xTo: >tmp.from ; \
cp $REPLY_TEMP tmp.autoreply
:0 whc
* MUNGE_BODY ?? y
| sed 's/\$SUBJECT/'"$ORIG_SUB"/g $REPLY_TEMP > tmp.autoreply
:0 ch :autoreply.lock
| (formail -rtzc -I "Subject: $REPLY_SUBJECT" -I "From: $HDR_FROM" \
-A"Precedence: junk" ; cat tmp.autoreply) | \
$SENDMAIL -t -f $MAIL_FROM `cat tmp.from`

First off I would like to say publicly that this list has been a great
help to me, Ravi personally. Now for my question.
I setup a list for our support team that sends autoreply e-mail to
anyone who sends to our
support team. What i need is to show original message headers in the
header of the e-mail that goes to the support team. Any and all help
will be appreciated
