Hello, I just created a list using smartlist and I would like some information, please, if anyone can help. What do I tell new subscribers they should do if they want to change their subscription options (disable mail, receive digests, receive copies of their own posts...). Or how can I change those options for them? I see a valuable ressource for this "smartlist" group: membership configuration is available on a website. But my group does not have a website. Sorry if this question seems very basic but I could not find this information in the manual or the FAQ, unless I wasn't looking in the right place. Any help would be appreciated, Pip Chodorov pip-distlist@re-voir.com
One thing I would refer you to is the manual this does cover this in some great detail in fact if your up for quite an interesting read read the whole thing. And also read the *.txt files listed under your list. Also if you working with a debian system I can send you a help and subscribe.txt that I have fixed a typo in if you are interestecd.

(*sigh*) This "'smartlist' group" (actually the smartlist mailing list) is NOT run on smartlist. Smartlist does not have capabilities out-of-the-box to permit "disable mail" (receive suspension), "receive digests" (smartlist deals with digests as seperate lists), or "receive copies of their own posts" (there is no way for a subscriber NOT to receive copies of their own posts). There are various add-ons around, and of course you're welcomed to write your own additions.
Yes, I find it ironic that the smartlist mailing list is not operated by smartlist, but it was changed so long ago that I've gotten used to it. For those who must depend on web pages to administer a mailing list or their own subscriptions, smartlist isn't likely the best solution. For those who use email or shells to handle their mailing lists, and who want to fine-tune their list every which way to Sunday without having to launch bloated intepretive systems (python, perl) every time a mail comes in, smartlist is the lean, mean, listing machine.
