Has anyone actually been unsubscribed due to hard bounces?

On this subject, I've always been reluctant to turn auto unsubscribe 
on for my lists, but today I've gone ahead and taken that step.

In Autoshare Admin, under Preferences:Miscellaneous, I've changed the 
bounce account e-mail to an account I setup on EIMS that saves mail 
to the Bounce folder.  I've turned Bounce "On".  Is that pretty much 
all I have to do?

Also, before the bounced e-mail came to the admin account so I could 
see who was bouncing, and why, and then manually unsubscribe.  With 
the auto-unsubscribe on, will I still be able to see the actual 
bounced messages?  Where?

Thanks!
Bill

It may be added that if you have automated bounce handling activated, 
you can still have hard bounces turned off by treating them as soft 
bounces. In the Admin, Lists, Yet More List, Hard Unsubscribe.

I would say so (I hope I am not forgetting anything). The automated 
bounce handling relies on a few already configured basic settings 
(such as the bounce address) as well as a number of other settings 
(whose default value are often fine).

They'll be mailed to the listmaster.

Yes!
The client noticed it after a review command to AutoShare for that 
list on  the 24th of July and because he knew that the email address 
of that subscriber would no longer be valid after 30 June, we are 
pretty sure the subscriber was unsubscribed due to hard bounces.
But he never got any notice from AutoShare

I did some testing earlier this evening and was reminded that it is 
different when a subscriber has been deleted due to a series of soft 
bounces, in which case the mail to the listmaster describes what 
happened, but does not include the actual bounce message. I probably 
designed it that way originally, as the soft bounce mechanism 
involves not one single bounce message, but several over time. This 
has now been changed for 4.2.1b2, so that the last bounce message 
appears in the mail sent to the listmaster.

As letters sometimes get lost in the mail, I would conduct a search 
in the logs throughout the entire period of time in question. I have 
checked the code, and there is just no way that a bounce unsubscribe 
is not logged. Honestly!

Excellent.  One last question regarding this subject... will the 
listmaster be notified by e-mail when someone is auto-unsubscribed? 
Or do they just disappear from the list?  I assumed that I'd be 
notified, but I figured I'd ask just to make sure.   }:>

Curious.  Giedo stated that "he", as in the person being 
unsubscribed, never got any notice.  I can see how the listmaster 
would get a notice, but I assumed that the person being unsubscribed 
would not be getting a notice (since they're being unsubscribed due 
to troubles reaching them).  Does Autoshare actually attempt to 
e-mail the unsubscribee with a notification?  (if so, it would seem 
that that e-mail would bounce just like the mailing list e-mails did)

No, just the listmaster will be e-mailed.

I didn't mean that the person being unsubscribed, never got any notice.
"he" is not supposed to get a notice and it would have no sense 
because that message would be bounced to.
The "he" in my email, is my client who acts as listmaster of his own 
list and gets the reports.

Subject: new setup questions

Hi Folks,

I've just set up autoshare, worked through the quick setup and everything
happened as advertised.  I've set up my own test list now, and have a
couple of questions:

1.  is it possible to turn off the "list ID" header?  I've turned off the
other headers I didn't want by entering the string: 123456789 into the
admin application "suppress headers" section, but the list ID remains.  i'm
setting up a private announcement list and would prefer not to clutter the
headers with unnecessary information.

2.  where can i alter the text of the email that gets sent back to users
not allowd to post?  something that could be done with resedit perhaps?

3.  where does the program extract the "from" header from? it has stuck an
address in there (Request at my.server dot address) that doesn't exist, I don't
want to use it, and I'd rather set it to "info@my.server dot address.

4.  is it possible to turn off the automatic mailing of logs? how?

5.  this is minor: since this is a private list, i'm trying to keep the
addresses hidden and have chosen the appropriate settings in the admin app
(like Review: suppress names; Concealed: yes; Hide list: yes; address
protection: yes) but if a user queries their subscription, the program
returns: Conceal: NOCONCEAL.  just don't want to panic anybody, because I
couldn't get the thing to reveal anyone's address on the list using the
commands available.

In the Admin when the balloon text for the title field runs out of 
space, I tend to continue another balloon over the text field itself. 
This second balloon lists List-Id as A.

Although the language files are meant for translated text, you can 
certainly also use it to change some text strings within the same 
language.

It would appear that the RFC From address is different from the SMTP 
envelope sender. You can change that at the sender end, or you can 
tell AutoShare to use RFC To addresses for list subscriptions. There 
is a checkbox in the Admin for that.

I don't think it is supported as a built-in feature (you are the 
first to ask this question!). You can probably script a solution.

Is your conceal setting general or list-specific? I can look into it 
once I know.

Thanks!  By the way, kudos for putting together what seems to be a very

Hmmm, this still has me a little confused.  I posted a test message to my 
announcement list from one of the "moderator" addresses I set up.  Since 
the Announcement list won't allow posts from the subscribers, I added the 
"c" token to the "list stuff" field and enabled posting for a couple of the 
subscribers.  The "from" address in the message that was broadcast to all 
the subscribers had the string "Request@my.server dot address", which was not 
the address I sent from, nor is it set anywhere in the admin app for any 
list admin or other addresses.  Seems to have appeared out of the 
ether.  I'll take a look for that checkbox though...

The conceal setting is list-specific for my announce list.

I did notice one other thing, when I edit the list of subscribers directly 
using Simpletext, and then go into the Admin app and try to manipulate the 
subscriber properties, an error is returned as if the Admin app can no 
longer access information about the subscribers.  Shutting down Autoshare 
and re-starting it seems to solve the problem though.  (at least I hope it 
will all the time, because I'll be maintaining the list of subscribers 
outside the Autoshare app and will simply dump a new text file in before 
broadcasting...)

Thanks for all your help on the other points, I found the str's to edit 
appropriately, and sorry I missed the list ID header thing!  Not being an 
applescript guru, I'm dependent upon the Admin app but the log mailing 
thing is not a big deal.  I think I'll only have the program running around 
the time when an announcement needs sending, the rest of the time I'll 
probably shut it down anyway.

Thanks again,
Dave

Scripting is such a neat thing when administering a server. It's 
amazing what you can do. The initial time you spent on getting to 
know AppleScript pays off very quickly and just keeps doing so plus 
you then know how to do it. My scripting page is at

I don't know where Request at my.server dot address comes from. Do you use 
that for anything, or are you at all familiar with it? I would 
suggest seartching for it in an analysis file, or you may also want 
to look in a message file in the Filed Mail folder.

The conceal setting for a list means that anyone who subscribes in 
the future will be set to concealed in the subscriber's settings. 
This does not affect those who subscribed prior to changing the 
setting for the list.

Editing a subscriber list file with an editor should not pose a 
conflict, unless you do something like having the List window open in 
the Admin or something. Caution in these kinds of matters is 
advisable however. Editing a list file directly is also not 
recommended, as the file must be sorted correctly.

Ok, I looked at this a little closer: I changed the list so that only the 
list administrator can post (set in Admin as info at my dot server (my.server not 
being the real name, but an illustration here), with the name "List 
Administrator").  Then I set Eudora up with that ID and posted a message to 
the list.  The message that gets broadcast to the list has these headers:

Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 15:24:01 -0800
Reply-To: info at my dot server
Errors-To: bounce at my dot server
Precedence: bulk
List-Software: AutoShare 4.2 by Mikael Hansen
To: listname at my dot server (Subscribers of listname)
From: List Administrator <Request at my dot server>
Subject: We need specify a subject for the news post

The address of the (non-list) Administrator is also info at my dot server, in fact 
I put that address everywhere one was requested (except for the bounce 
account of course, which is bounce at my dot server).  The account 
Request at my dot server doesn't exist, I've never entered it into any of the 
Admin app settings, I really have no idea where it is coming from.  There 
is no EIMS account by that name either.  Is there any default setting that 
perhaps I need to change, where in the absence of any input the program 
uses the account "Request"?

Ah, ok.  Though the list settings conceal the addresses anyway, so no 
worries there.

That must be it, I noticed that with a longer subscriber list the Autoshare 
status window briefly flashes "sorting subscriber list" or something like 
that on start-up.  This is after adding a new list edited outside the 
program.  Is there a way to sort the list without shutting down the 
software?  Not a big deal, as I imagine most of the time it won't be 
running anyway until I add an updated list for a broadcast.  Broadcasts to 
the list will be very infrequent anyway.

Thanks again for your help,
Dave

The script in question, the process extender entitled Vacation of 
type Before Processing, is brief because it uses the AutoShare 
AppleScript command entitled SetFilters, which offers various 
built-in functionality in that respect. This AppleScript command 
offers a boolean property entitled Clear, so that the user's filter 
file may optionally be cleared.

I'm running drastically low on time, as I'm taking off this morning 
on a vacation of my own for a few weeks, so I have only had a brief 
moment (shame on me!) to glance through Alan Ordway's CGI vacation 
script recently announced on the EIMS list, but it appears that the 
script doesn't use any AutoShare AppleScript commands and instead 
accesses the document files directly.

Subject: Autoshare and Webstar 4.2 Mail

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get Autoshare working with Webstar 4.2 Mail? Webstar
Mail allows for forwarding to a list of addresses contained in a disk file,
so it seems that that mechanism would work at least. The tricky part might
be setting up the submitted mail and incoming mail folders, and getting the
envelope stuff in the correct resource fields. Anyone think of anything
that might fill the gap?

Hi, I'm brand new to the list. I have Autoshare 4.2 and EIMS 2.22

autoshare processes and puts the mail into the "incoming mail" folder
from the "filed mail" folder, but EIMS does not send the outbound
messages. I have checked each of the logs and the Sutoshare log seems to
indicate that the message is sent. The EIMS has no record of it,
however. Is there some setting for specifying the mail server IP or an
outbound mail configuration? It is perplexing that I am getting inbound
but not outbound mail.

Can anyone help me out there?

Hi Jared,

Although this sounds like it wouldn't work, it worked for me at least 
twice: Simply rebuild the desktop database file on the server. I used 
TechTool to help me do this cleanly (rebuilding the database from scratch 
rather than from the backup database). Of course, you'll have to take your 
server offline for about 5-10 minutes in order to do this.

Please let me know if it works for you.

Cheers,

Hi Jared,  I had this same problem with the same system setup when I first 
set up autoshare (I think I had all the problems when setting up 
autoshare...;) ) and am almost embarrassed to say what caused it:  during 
the course of my EIMS upgrading (I've been using it since AIMS), I've made 
backup folders containing all my EIMS stuff (mailboxes etc).  I found out 
after a little head scratching that I was actually sending all the outgoing 
Autoshare mail to the wrong EIMS incoming mail folder.  Might want to check 
that...

Subject: xml-archives?
From: "Pascal Oberndoerfer" <p.oberndoerfer at urheberrecht dot org>

Hello

I really like the automated HTML list-archive a lot. My problem is that the
output doesn't quite fit into our website-design. I thought of parsing the
html and/or text-files and "reconstructing" the archives together with the
altered layout. Then came -- thanks to all the hype ;-) -- xml to my mind.

Maybe something like:

<message id="message_id">
    <date>RFC-date</date>
    <from>RFC-from</from>
    <subject>RFC-subject</subject >
    <message_body>
        Email-Body here ...
    </message_body>
</message>


which would allow xml processing and/or xsl-transformation as an easy way to
"produce" your "own" html output

Do you consider making the archives available in XML-format?

Pascal

BTW: AutoShare running faultlessly for several months. Thanks!

There's a bug in EIMS 3.0 that has been fixed in 3.0.1.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have also upgraded using the 
patch that you can download from the Eudora site. The strange thing 
is that I have have 5 lists and one of them seems to be working.

If you have upgraded from EIMS 2.x, I can't think of another 
suggestion. If you have upgraded from the freeware version, then the 
Incoming Mail folder has been moved from the System folder to inside 
the EIMS application folder. To what extent do your lists not work, 
e.g. do message files arrive in the Filed Mail folder, are they 
processed fine, and is EIMS working properly otherwise?

Have you tried rebuilding the Mac's desktop database file? For me, 
that often fixed problems like what you've described. I use TechTool 
to easily rebuild the desktop DB.

Hope this helps.

Every thing seems to be working now. I think the problem may have

Thanks for the help.

Subject: Newbie in PE (2)

Hello, and thanks Mikael for your last answer.

I have other questions about PEs.

First, I finally switched to 4.2, while retaining the old 'on <<event
Au...' calls. The first call to the 'Before Processing' PE produces the
following lines in the log :

>(..) Process extender Before Processing started up

>(..) Process extender Before Processing (AuBP, aUBP) called
>(..) Handler for (AuBP, aUBP) not found

Is this something I should worry about, do I really need to go the osax way?


Second, I need an advice on how to do the following thing. I would like the
PE to check, upon subscribing to list A, that the requester is not already
subscribed to list B, and vice-versa. Ie, if he is subscribed to A,
unsubscribe him to B etc.
There are 2 issues here :
- sending a request to know where the subscriber is
- eventually, unsubscribe him from a list
Is it possible to do it in a single script? I know that there would need to
use special techniques - 'ignoring application response' for example -
since the PE cannot send apple events back to the AutoShare app that
triggered it.
If it's not possible, I've thought of writing 'fake' requests as text files
placed directly in the submitted folder.

Thanks,

Serge

Thanks Dave, I checked the folders as you indicated. They all seem to be directed at the correct places. The settings for AutoShare are EXACTLY as in the example in the documentation.

Where do you check (in EIMS) to see what the "correct EIMS incoming mail folder?" Is that a general setting? Or configurable? It seems, the more I think about it, the more likely that you have struck upon the right idea... However, I have no idea where EI
MS is picking this mail up from...

Any help is appreciated!

No, you do not need to install the osax, which merely offers easier 
handler names. You should however worry about a handler not found 
because the handler, aka the subroutine, is doing all the work within 
the process extender, which then means that nothing is being done.

I can say you that the work _is_ done :)
The PE is a stay-open app. It includes 3 handlers: 'idle', 'run', and
'event...'
The previous lines appear only when the app is open. Subsequent calls don't
produce them, and actual calls to the 'event...' handler are succesfuly
resolved, ie the handler _is_ being executed.

Thanks. I was relying on the doc part about the 'Write Log' sample in the
'Before Processing' samples folder. I may need to read it more carefully
and do my own tests.

Thanks again,

Hi again,

I think I found the reason my PE was not working correctly. When it was
first launched by AutoShare, the apple event sent was not 'on event...' but
only 'idle'.
So my question is, do the PEs have to be left always opened?

In any event, you do need this handler :-)

I think I found the reason my PE was not working correctly. When it was
first launched by AutoShare, the apple event sent was not 'on event...' but
only 'idle'.
So my question is, do the PEs have to be left always opened?

No, but do note this from the 4.2.1 beta:

-A bug has been fixed, which would prevent an Apple event from

Subject: Fwd: Unsubscribed (soft bounce)

Hi all,

To follow up on an old thread I started awhile back, the following 
FORWARD is all I get when a member of a list is soft-bounced.  With a 
hard bounce, I get the entire bounce message and can see what the 
problem is.  As you can see below, this soft bounce message doesn't 
tell me anything helpful except that the e-mail was unsubscribed.

Is there any chance of improving this?  Is there something I can do 
to get more information?

Thanks,
Bill

Subject: Reverse order of web archives?
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2000 12:49:55 -0400
From: "Charles L. Martin" <clmartin at theombudsman dot com>

Is there any way to have a web archive for a particular list show 
messages in reverse order? I want to use an Announcements list to send 
notices to subscribers, and to have the announcements show on a web page 
with the most recent one on top. I saw nothing in the documentation, but 
thought I would ask before I tried working out another solution (not that 
I have a clue how I might do that).
