i have some problems with confirm (v 1.2.3) and Smartlist 3.15 If the subscriber sends back his confirmation-mail, he is not subscribed and added into dist-file, but the message is forwarded to the maintainer with X-Diagnostic: Unprocessed
#confirm_maintainer = yes # This forwards all subscription requests to confirm_maintainer # the maintainer(s) who have to confirm or # ignore the messages.
try commenting out the 2nd `confirm_maintainer' line. 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.

Hi!
I've got 2 basic questions I'd really like an answer to. I'm new at this, so please forgive my ignorance:
1. How can I prevent non-subscribers from posting to a list?
2. Every time a subscriber sends an unsubscribe request, the answer is: "You have not been removed, I couldn't find your name on the list." In every case, the name IS on the list.
I'd really appreciate any help I can get. Thank you in advance :-)
Kind regards, Anne-Marie Oualit

Well I can manage that one, you need to set 'foreign_submit' in the rc.custom file for the list. It defaults to 'foreign_submit = yes' which means that anyone can post to the list. If you uncomment the line in rc.local which sets foreign-submit to nothing then you'll stop non-subscribers posting.
The comments in rc.custom describe this pretty well.
- Every time a subscriber sends an unsubscribe request, the answer is:
"You have not been removed, I couldn't find your name on the list." In every case, the name IS on the list.
I'm not so sure about this one, make sure that the E-Mail address in the 'accept' file match exactly what the unsubscribe message thinks it's talking to.

On a guess, it sounds like your dist file is missing the line:
(Only addresses below this line can be automatically removed)
If you've manually edited your dist file, and removed that line, this can be one of the results. The line should be at or near the top of the file.
