Smartlist vacation, lists gateways
Hi there. Just came back from vacation to find 500 (and counting) debian-user messages on my mailbox. No big deal, I'll just wipe out everything with debian-user as destination. :-P But in shake of netecology and lazyness, I would like to find out how to put my subscription on vacation, which is what I always prefer for high volume lists anyway, since I prefer to Google Group such lists. I had a quick try to find out how to do it in a Smartlist before vacation, but my only results were: Smartlist uses X-Commands (simple additions to the mail headers I supose) to interact with the list-request script, it needs an addon to support suspend (vacation), and there's another for parsing commands in-message-body. 1. A quick test (help \n suspend \n end to debian-user-request) produced no feedback, so I take in-body commands aren't enabled. Is suspend, and what's the X-command to set it? 2. Actually, I would prefer not to be subscribed at all, since I read the list as news anyway. But I know all my messages to debian-user went to /dev/null or equivalent without any error/moderation warning back, until I subscribed my e-mail account. Is registration really required, or is there a bug on the road? And for extra points: 3. The only backside of Google Groups, is that I can't post directly from there. What other news (or any other service that eases the lurking of such copious information) gateways do you use? (specially bidirectional ones). I seem to recall Gmane used to be able to send to debian-user. Best regards. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Òbviament no funciona, o és que estic influenciat per la mala marxa del ValènciaCF, no ho sé. Ací[1] es diu que l'única manera de muntar una llista de correu amb un domini virtual és a) Crear un alias en la taula d'aliasos per als dominis virtuals que tinga en el LHS[2] l'adreça de la llista i en el RHS[3] una adreça d'/etc/aliases. b) En /etc/aliases afegir una línia d'este tipus: aliasfetaposta: |/var/list/.bin/flist cfrb [1] http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2001-06/1308.html [2] Left Hand Side.

Si envie el típic subscribe a [EMAIL PROTECTED], el remitent del CONFIRM és [EMAIL PROTECTED] El mecanisme de subscripció i desubscripció funciona perfectament tant si la gestió es fa utilitzant el domini local com el virtual. Una volta passat el tràmit, u pot escriure a la llista amb l'adreça del domini virtual. El pitjor és que els correus de la llista sempre apareixen com provinents de [EMAIL PROTECTED] :-( Tot això és molt lleig.

Smartlist doesn't like mail from root and treats it as being from a
daemon to keep mail loops from mailbombing your mailing list. See the
'FROM_DAEMON' macro in 'man procmailrc'.

Re: SmartList: problem subscribing
Yes, I uncommmented the user = list line. I even tried adding group = list. Nothing seems to work. I've been working under the assumption that the problem involves file permissions, ownership, or the piping statement in /etc/aliases. flist and the procmail link are owned by root:list. flist is set to execute suid. /usr/bin/procmail is owned by root:mail I have also added /var/list/.bin to PATH for root and in /etc/profile. I've tried having flist and the procmail link owned by list:list. But that did not work. I've experimented with piping statements of | /bin/bash exec /var/list/.bin/flist listname and | exec /var/list/.bin/flist listname. With the first piping statement I received a message from mail daemon: exec: exec: No such file or directory , and with the latter piping statement I received 'exec command not found for address_pipe transport'. Each time I finish a line of investigation, I remove the SmartList package and reinstall from the .deb file, so that the package is reset to its default configuration and I am not compounding the problem with my experimentations. I would appreciate any further suggestions. Wade Parker

When I send in a subscription, exim's log indicates the message was delivered to the pipe program. But there is not entry in /var/list/listname/dist and there is no log. I've also tried changing the pipe alias with: |/bin/bash exec /var/list/.bin/flist listname the mail-daemon returns the message stating: A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. The following address(es) failed: listname[EMAIL PROTECTED]: generated |/bin/bash exec /var/list/.bin/flist listname: Child process of address_pipe transport returned 127 from command: /bin/bash The following text was generated during the delivery attempt: -- |/bin/bash exec /var/list/.bin/flist listname -- exec: exec: No such file or directory I would appreciate any advise or suggests on how to fix this problem or how to test flist.

Using verp with Debian's smartlist package
Hi all, A while ago, the Debian mailing lists at lists.debian.org went to using a different 'From ' line. The administrator said at the time that a VERP was being used. I am curious as to how a VERP can be implemented using smartlist with SendMail. It would have to use the [EMAIL PROTECTED] format I suppose. Has anyone successfully gotten this to work?

Smartlist (maybe sendmail) canonicalizing a domain
Does anyone know why when I send to a list that I have set up using smartlist at lists.domain.org it canonicalizes the To: header to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In my rc.init, I have: domain=3Dlists.domain.org I'd like to have it leave things at lists.domain.org, and I don't want to have mail.domain.org as a CNAME to lists.domain.org (that seems like a bad hack, though I think it would work). Is sendmail doing this or smartlist? Is there any output I can post that would be useful? Something to 'sendmail -bt' maybe?

De todas formas los que se subscriban quedarán dentro de la lista de acceso (dist) y podrán responder enviando mensajes a toda la lista. Lo que quieres hacer (enviar a varios sin que puedan responder) me parece que no es una lista sino un alias que puedes configurar de otras formas sin usar smartlist (procmail, archivo .forward, aliases, etc).

Hola a todos, espero que alguien me pueda ayudar...:) Alguien sabe como configurar el smartlint para restringir que cualquiera pueda enviar mail a una lista. Configuro el accept con la direccin de mail que quiero que solamente pueda enviar mail a la lista y dentro del rc.init y rc.custon donde dice foreing_submit pongo = no (foreing_submit = no). Pero igualmente sigue aceptado mails de cualquier direccion. Muchas gracias a todos Atentamente: Juan Sorribes ICQ 14079078

Hi, I am trying to set up a list using smartlist on Slink with sendmail. I have read the QuickStart, and have followed what it said but I have not have any succes. I send a letter to the address with subscribe in the Subject, but get no reply, and don't get an error saying that the message could not be sent, and I don't seem to get any respones server side ether.

help: someone has spammed through smartlist on my debian box
/* Please excuse the cross-posting to debian-user and smartlist.

I have subscription confirmation on and have been very happy with the setup. I've had problems as the medical school site which hosts my box has been abused by spammers (45k messages in 24hrs) and had big hassle with the blacklists etc. as a result.

Configuración SmartList
Hola a todos. Estoy instalando Smarlist para gestionar una lista de correo y tengo tres dudas al respecto: 1. Quiero que cuando un miembro de la lista reciba un mensaje de la misma y quiera responder usando el comando Responder (Reply) de su programa de correo electrónico, la dirección de respuesta que le salga sea la de la lista. Esto parece que puede hacerse mediante la línea reply-to del archivo rc.init. Sin embargo, si el programa de correo electrónico que usa el usuario de la lista ya está configurado con una dirección de respuesta, la cosa no funciona. ¿Alguien sabe algo de esto? 2. ¿Es posible añadir a todos los mensajes que pasen por la lista un comentario al final? Si es así, ¿cómo? 3. Por omisión, las personas que mandan un mensaje a la lista reciben su propio mensaje. ¿Se puede hacer que por omisión no los reciban? ¿Cómo? La única documentación que tengo de SmartList es el Manual v1.45 y la verdad es que no es muy amplia, sobre todo para alguien que no sabe casi nada de Linux. Por eso, si mis preguntas son triviales, disculpad. Agradezco vuestra ayuda. Un saludo Joaquín
Re: Configuración SmartList
Hola Igual te sería interesante suscribirte a la lista sobre smartlist. Para eso tienes que mandar un mensaje a: [EMAIL PROTECTED] poniendo subscribe en el cuerpo del mensaje Tambien puedes encontrar más información en: http://www.mindwell.com/smartlist 1. Quiero que cuando un miembro de la lista reciba un mensaje de la misma y quiera responder usando el comando Responder (Reply) de su programa de correo electrónico, la dirección de respuesta que le salga sea la de la lista. Esto parece que puede hacerse mediante la línea reply-to del archivo rc.init. Sin embargo, si el programa de correo electrónico que usa el usuario de la lista ya está configurado con una dirección de respuesta, la cosa no funciona. ¿Alguien sabe algo de esto? Eso no lo entiendo. Qué quiere decir que el programa de correo electrónico esté configurado con una dirección de respuesta? El programa tiene que contestar al que ha enviado el mensaje. Hay dos posibilidades: que para ello use el campo reply-to (si existe) o que use el From. En principio tengo idea de que todos los programas decentes usan el reply-to si es que está. Y si no, puede que pregunte si se lo manda a todos los destinatarios... Pero bueno, en principio la forma de hacerlo es la de configurar el reply-to a la lista y ya está. Normalmente la cosa funciona. Pero en general hacer eso no es una buena idea. 2. ¿Es posible añadir a todos los mensajes que pasen por la lista un comentario al final? Si es así, ¿cómo? Esta es fácil, te copio la respuesta de la página que te dije arriba para escribir menos: Uncomment the line RC_LOCAL_SUBMIT_20 = rc.local.s20 from your rc.custom file, and add the following to your rc.local.s20 file: # # Appending a disclaimer to every outgoing mail: # :0 fbw | cat - footer.txt You will also need to create a file called footer.txt, which contains the text to add to the message (this file can be empty though, so you can create the files, but only fill them in when you need to add something) 3. Por omisión, las personas que mandan un mensaje a la lista reciben su propio mensaje. ¿Se puede hacer que por omisión no los reciban? ¿Cómo? Ésta no la sé. Ciao Carlos

permission (?) problem with smartlist
I have installed smartlist and procmail for my debian system (hamm on pentium hardware, running sendmail). I am gradually getting apache and Email set up on the machine as it's going to move to be hosted by a commercial ISP when I transfer my lists and WWW services out of the university here. I think the list manager I want to use is smartlist (majordomo seems a bit less friendly) but I'm failing to install smartlist. The INSTALL instructions in /usr/doc/smartlist/INSTALL refer to an install.sh script which doesn't seem to exist. I assume it's actions have been migrated into the dpkg/dselect installation. If I'm right then it's not the first time and, bearing in mind the recent reviews of Linuxes, I'd rate it as much the biggest problem for newbies to Debian: you end up not feeling you trust any documentation as it's so often clearly inconsistent with the installation you've got. OOPPS: flame off I've followed the instructions to create a user slist and then to use createlist and I've created the new aliases and run newalias. However, when I email the new list request (list is named test, very original...) I get the following. - Forwarded message from Mail Delivery Subsystem - From sendmail-daemon Thu Sep 24 15:48:29 1998 Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 15:48:29 GMT From: Mail Delivery Subsystem sendmail-daemon Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: slist Subject: Returned mail: Cannot open input: Error 0 Auto-Submitted: auto-generated (failure) The original message was received at Thu, 24 Sep 1998 15:48:28 GMT from [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - |/var/list/.bin/flist test-request (expanded from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) - Transcript of session follows - flist: Can't find .etc in /usr/sbin 550 |/var/list/.bin/flist test-request...

SMARTLIST: how to get exact matching?
Can someone tell me how to configure smartlist to do exact address matching? The problem we have is that some usernames are very similar to each other. For exmaple, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] As a result, when the second user tries to subscribe, smartlist incorrectly says that the user is already subscribed. In rc.custom, will increasing match_threshold help? How much should it be increased, if so? Thanks.

The user swears he's sending the mail from a regular account using Netscape Mail. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it. Digging into the manual, I found this: SmartList usually does not accept submissions or subscriptions from daemons. If you'd like to make an exception for some, you can do this by tuning the daemon_bias variable. A sample template can be found in the rc.init file. This variable can of course be set in the rc.init, rc.custom or rc.local files. Instead of directly specifying a weight and a regexp, you can just specify a weight. You'll then have to make sure that the variable is set only when mail from your special daemons arrives. The scary regexp that procmail uses to decide that something is coming from a daemon (FROM_DAEMON) includes a test to catch Sender:.*root. I want to keep all the tests but this one. What I can't find now is a reference to weighting in the procmail manpages. How's the weight suppossed to work? daemon_bias = 0 Sender:.*root ^ What do I put here. A higher number to get the regexp recognized as a daemon or a lower number to get it NOT recognized as a daemon. Thanks again, Marcelo

Using SMARTLIST from bo? Please, READ this.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hello.
This message is for users of the Debian smartlist package.
I have detected a little problem which may arise when upgrading smartlist
from bo to hamm. If you are running smartlist_3.1016 from bo, please read
the following before upgrading to hamm.
The problem is very simple: In bo, when a list was created, the script
/var/list/.bin/createlist used HARDlinks to link some files from the list
directory to the .etc directory.
Well, by design, dpkg does not preserve those hardlinks on upgrades.
Instead, they end up being different files.
For example, if, say foo/rc.request is a hardlink to .etc/rc.request
(created automatically by createlist) and the file .etc/rc.request is
replaced by a newer one by dpkg, then foo/rc.request and .etc/rc.request
will not be hardlinked anymore.
This is not what one might expect. All lists should benefit from
enhancements in the files in .etc.
Therefore it is much better to use symlinks and not hardlinks.
The .bin/createlist in hamm's smartlist already uses symlinks. However,
one may have already lots of created lists with hardlinks to .etc.
I strongly recommend to convert all those hardlinks into symlinks
*before* upgrading to hamm's smartlist.
The preinst script for smartlist_3.10.7-5 (just installed in hamm) will
just warn you about this and will let you to break the process by pressing
Control-C. This way, smartlist will not be upgraded until the user is
aware of the problem and has fixed it.
The following script will do the job. I have tested it and works for
me, but use it at your own risk.

p.s. I have uploaded today bo-unstable releases of procmail and smartlist,
for people using 1.3.1 who want Maildir support in procmail or
confirmation of subscriptions in smartlist (remember to transform
hardlinks into symlinks *first*).
Thanks.

smartlist
Hi..I installed Smarlist and I create and list called test (as is explain in Quick Start file).The last step in this process must be execute newaliases...but when I doing the shell answer me that command not found...why? I have intalled Smail and when I don't see newaliases in nowhere. Where's new aliases? Is it in Sendmail pakage? (I hate sendmail...too much tricy to me). bye and thanks! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Technically, the Debian policy for MTAs requires that the command be provided, even if it is a no-op, but smail has a bug in that regard.

Thanks,

According to the procmail docs, you need the following line in your
/etc/smail/transports:
local: return_path, local, from, driver=pipe; user=root,
cmd=/usr/bin/procmail -d $($user$)
and comment out the local line that is there like so:
#local: driver=appendfile, from, local, inet, return_path, unix_from_hack;
# append_as_user, check_user, file=/var/spool/mail/${lc:strip:user},
# group=mail, mode=0660, notify_comsat, suffix=\n
Let me know how it goes, I haven't tried smartlist yet, but I'm using
smail and procmail alreadyand I've heard favourable mention of
smartlist on other lists.
Hope this helps!

Please, DON'T upgrade SmartList.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- This is a message for all the Debian SmartList users: I have just received an important bug report about the smartlist package: Currently, if you *upgrade* smartlist (from rex to bo, for example), you may lost all your list aliases in /etc/aliases. This is because current `postinst' and `postrm' scripts are somewhat buggy. I'm working on it, so be patient and please don't upgrade your smartlist package. [ For Debian 1.3, maybe I will ask you to replace your current /var/lib/dpkg/info/smartlist.postrm by the new one *before* upgrading, to avoid this bug. ] Stay tuned, (and remember that unstable may be unstable).

smartlist and smrsh
Hi, I am running smartlist.10-10 and sendmail.8.8.4-1 with smrsh support. I let smartlist setup the default mail list called announce yet when I tried to send mail to announce-request I got this message: announce-request... aliased to |exec /var/list/.bin/flist announce-request |exec /var/list/.bin/flist announce-request... Connecting to prog... sh: exec not available for sendmail programs |exec /var/list/.bin/flist announce-request... Service unavailable /usr/home/larry/dead.letter... Saved message in /usr/home/larry/dead.letter Now I assume that this is because there isn't a link for exec in /usr/lib/sm.bin yet I can't find the file exec to include. To get it working I simply removed the references to exec in /etc/aliases, put a link in /usr/lib/sm.bin for flist and it seems to be working okay. Will this get me in trouble? Is there a way to make it work with the exec in /etc/aliases? Thanks in advance, Adam. Earthlight Communications Limited --- P.O.
