Unsubscribe request wont CC to maintainer
by sdw＠ws2.net 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

Greetings. I've set up the Maintainer email in rc.custom and set cc_requests & cc_unsubscribe_requests to "yes". Problem is that while _subscribe_ requests work as they should, _unsubscribe_ requests generate an *extra* Unsubscribe acknowledgment to the sender, only with "possible loop" and "mail from daemon" msgs in the header. Nothing is then CC'd to maintainer. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks! Scott Warstler

'Mail coming from a daemon, ignored'
by Anne-Marie Oualit 25 Nov '00

25 Nov '00

Hi! I keep asking questions :-) I've created a separate account within the same domain as my list is on with the purpose of sending news items to my list. From that account, however, I cannot post to the list. The address is both in the dist and accept files. The only one who receives mail from that address is the administrator account. The header says: 'Mail coming from a daemon, ignored' Can someone please tell me why? Kind regards, Anne-Marie Oualit

I seem to recall someone explaining in this list that configuration options were set depending on whether the line was commented out or not, and that the `=yes' or `=no' at the end was there for cosmetic (readibility) purposes. Thus, with the above uncommented line your are configuring smartlist to do what you complain it does: forward all subscription requests to the maintainer for confirmation.

Loop - please help
by Giorgio Demenego 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

Hi all, from one month I'm running 10 mail list with Smartlist. Untill today the server (Linux SUSE 6.4 - with last version of Exim in replacement of the default sendmail) has worked very good, but today there was a loop and the same e-mail was sent to the list about 30 times ... In the mailer log I have these entries: Mainlog: 2000-11-23 16:16:21 13yy5C-0006NW-00 Failed to get write lock for /var/spool/exi m/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile: timed out 2000-11-23 16:16:22 13yy5C-0006NW-00 Failed to open wait-remote_smtp database: C onnection timed out Paniclog: 2000-11-23 16:19:19 13yy8r-0006Ul-00 failed to unlink /var/spool/exim/input//13y y8r-0006Ul-00-D 2000-11-23 16:19:19 13yy8q-0006UM-00 failed to unlink /var/spool/exim/input//13y y8q-0006UM-00-D In the rc.local.S20 I have this line to strip from the header the e-mails of the list subscribers: :0 fhw | formail -k -X From: -X Subject: -X Date: -X To: -X Reply-To: Maybe I have stripped the loop flag (if it exists !) ? Many thanks in advance Giorgio

procbounce unsubs the sender
by Del Kimbler 23 Nov '00

23 Nov '00

Occasionally procbounce detects an excessive number of bounces and proceeds to unsubscribe the sender, not the bouncing address. Have looked at procbounce and rc.request, but I can't find how this can happen. I am using the default bounce parameters, using 3.13.1 in a Solaris environment with the public (not Sun) sendmail. Any ideas? Del D. L. Kimbler, Ph.D., P.E. Professor, Industrial Engineering Clemson University Voice: (864)656-5645 Fax: (864)656-0795

How to put someone on moderated
by Listmail 22 Nov '00

22 Nov '00

I have a similar problem. We want all of our new subscribers being moderated initially until we see that they did not simply join the list to spam. We de-linked the accept list. As I understand, this will send all posts from persons NOT in the accept list to the maintainer. Our maintainer will then read and forward the message(s), eventually manually adding the email address to the accept file OR she will delete the msg and add the email addy to the reject file. This seems to be working? Would be a pain for you though, because you would have to manually add all your subs as they come in into the accept file. I might suggest adding a nonaccept file as a feature...not the same as reject (doesn't reject just trash the message? We want it to go to the maintainer) Jo

Running smartlist without root access
by Chris Green 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

Well I'm here again asking this same question..... I have installed Smartlist 3.15 on a Linux system where I have a shell login account. I also have two domains hosted on the system and *all* mail to either of these domains is delivered to me (as I'm the postmaster, among other things). My *actual* mail address there is chris(a)isbd.co.uk, I'd like to set up a Smartlist list with the name uk-riders(a)isbd.co.uk, presumably with the request address being uk-riders-request(a)isbd.co.uk. Presumably I need to do the following:- Add a .forward file so that mail is delivered using procmail, something like "|exec /home/d/cgreen/slist/.bin/procmail" Add some rules to the .procmailrc file so that mail for uk-riders(a)isbd.co.uk and uk-riders-request(a)isbd.co.uk is delivered to flist. What would be the exact syntax of these two rules? Is that all I need do (apart from the basic bits and pieces in the Smartlist configuration scripts)? -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk) Home: chris(a)isbd.demon.co.uk Work: cgreen(a)bcs.org.uk WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/

Control of list postings by header info
by MRFA Membership Chairman 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

Does anyone have a quick and dirty fix to the rc.custom or rc.init that will reject anonymous postings? We've had some problems recently with some toad sending emails to lists without complete headers, thereby obscuring his/her idenity. The emails had virus files attached. I'd like to dump any postings sent without the header lines that identify the sender and/or host server. Also, the docs are somewhat unclear. If the "foreign_submit = yes" is uncommented, does that permit, or prevent submissions. It would seem logically to permit them, but there are two entries in the file, a "#foreign_submit" and a "##foreign_submit = yes" The docs say to "...uncomment the appropriate entry." I want to restrict posting to people on the hardlinked accept list. Thanks in advance for the help!
