This approach may certainly come in handy at times. It is probably
easier though to tell AutoShare to let the Filed Mail folder be
another folder than to update your many mail server accounts, unless
unknown accounts is turned on.

The keyword here is inline. When you drag a JPG file to the body of a
message that you're composing, Eudora sets the Content-Type to
multipart/Related, but when you drag a JPG file to the header of a
message that you're composing (or do Command-H), Eudora sets the
Content-Type to multipart/mixed. AutoShare doesn't support the former
(multipart/Related). An interesting thing is that if Eudora sends a
non-inline JPG, she'll display it as inline at the receiving end
though.

Subject: Dealing with ISP recipient limits
I've been using AutoShare (4.1) for some time. Recently, without warning
my ISP implemented a mail relay limit of 250 recipients per email (probably
to block spamming customers from sending junk out.) This caused my mail
server to get a pile of rejection notices to the point where my Filed Mail
folder was over .5GB pretty quickly.
As a result, I have had to temporarily shut down the list. How can I
configure AutoShare 4.1 or later to batch recipients in list post mailing?
If I can't group the recipients in less than everyone at once amounts, can
I at least cause AutoShare to send them individually? This would suck, but
it's better than either turning off the list or having ALL of our outbound
mail traffic go directly to recipients instead of relaying them through our
ISP.
I'm using EIMS 2.2.2 if its relevant.
Thanks!
Terry

This topic in various flavors comes around from time to time. I'm hesitant
to add such a split file feature to the main processing, as it can become
both messy and inefficent. The best approach is likely to split the
recipients for a fully processed message file. An AppleScript can do it,
but is not recommended, unless you have an AppleScript command, whose
non-AppleScript code can the hard work. I don't mind creating such a Split
Mail command similar to the Unix Mail command.
Unix Mail: Convert a Unix file of multiple messages to EIMS
message files
From Path string -- Path of Unix mail file
[To Path string] -- Path of folder, in which to store
the EIMS message files
So the Split Mail command would go something like
Split Mail: Split an EIMS message file into multiple EIMS
message files
From Path string -- Path of EIMS message file
[To Path string] -- Path of folder, in which to store
the EIMS message files
[countIndex small integer] -- Number of recipients per
EIMS message file
Let me know.

Well, I would truly desire that. You see, the only remaining alternative
is to have our mail server stop using our ISP as a relay. This would be a
serious load on our mail server as it would now be directly dealing with
every recipient's mail server (the whole point of why we switched to a
relay approach) and I'm sure that it would add minutes to the time it would
take for an individual email to get sent.
Another wacky thought - an option to have mail split by the first letter of
the recipient's domain. An a - z model would still limit me to 250 per
letter, but that's enough to address my issue for now. That's of course a
selfish way to think about it, but I'm just brainstorming.
I just can't think of any other solution.
Thanks for your effort and consideration.
Regards,
Terry

Subject: Re: Dealing with ISP recipient limits
Okay, I have come up with the Split Mail AppleScript command, which
takes one EIMS message file with an SMTP envelope recipient of a list
file and expands it into several EIMS message files, each having a
given number of SMTP envelope recipients.
You would want to create a scenario where AutoShare's Incoming Mail
folder path reflects a new folder, let's say it's named Split. Your
AppleScript can then use the Split Mail command on any file that
arrives in your Split folder. A Folder Action would be a good way of
applying your AppleScript, I guess. So while the From Path is the
Split folder, the To Path can be the Incoming Mail folder.
The Split Mail command is pretty simple too.
tell application "AutoShare"
Split Mail From Path "disk:Split:file"
To Path "disk:Incoming Mail"
countIndex 100
end tell
You are very much encouraged to test this before using it seriously,
as I have only tested it with a low number of subscribers and in a
very quiet environment. The biggest thing to watch out for is the
return value being the number of output files. If it's not zero, it
reflects the number of files created, and you can likely delete the
input file. If zero, the input file should likely be moved into the
Incoming Mail folder.
As there have over the years been a number of requests to have list
contributions be mailed individually to subscribers, I suppose I'll
have to add a property some day, so that each subscriber's name can
be inserted into the respective message.

I'm digressing from the list, but there are lots of ways to fight SPAM
without putting this type of control on limits to sending e-mail. There
are a lot of legitimate reasons for sending to lots of people (all those
Autoshare lists for one), and that alone should have them looking into
other methods of preventing SPAM-abuse.

Subject: Listserv hick-up
From: Timo Ochmann <timo at bigmindmedia dot com>
hi-
i am using AS 4.1.1 and it is configured to run multiple listservs for
several domains we host.
recently i ran into an issue, which puzzled me. the status window in AS for
one particular listserv domain showed that a post had been processed for a
mailing list, but nobody on the list received it and the <mailinglist>.m
showed an old date not the same as the one when the post was processed. the
post had been placed by the moderator. the list is a standard subscription
list and is set up with the right moderator email account. the post didn't
bounce. myself and the moderator are subscribers to the list and our
accounts are functional.
on previous occasions, something quite similar had happened. some people
received the post others didn't. although it never happened that all of them
'vanished', either way, of course this a serious problem. why would AS in
this case work so sporadically?
as far as i can tell the post did get processed. the error logs of eims
2.2.2 didn't show any errors.
any idea what might have happened?
thanks

I can't say I'm aware of this, but given you're using multiple
preference sets, do you have a separate folder for list files for
each preference set?

Come to think of it, each additional preference set uses additional
memory. If you have left AutoShare's preferred memory size at the
default, you may want to increase it. When updating <list>.m and
<list>.d files, AutoShare is optimized to use the memory between what
is left as an upper limit and a reserve pool as a lower limit; it may
be that there is little memory available, which shouldn't matter
though, as processing merely should take longer.

Subject: Small lists are vanishing
Hi, all.
Just converted from a very old (3.4?) version of AutoShare to 4.2.1.
All seemed to go swimmingly, but within the past day or so I've had
three of my small (< 100 subscribers) lists vanish; in other words,
AutoShare Admin won't recognize that there are users on the list, and
the x-list.m file in the LS folder went to zero length.
This didn't happen to my larger lists, though I'm worried that it might.
Has anyone else seen this happen? Is this a conversion issue from older
versions of AutoShare?
Thanks in advance

In EIMS, it was very straightforward because the AS documentation told you
exactly what to do. In Webstar, I'm not sure how to specify the three
accounts. One is a mailing list, and 2 are files. That's where my
uncertainty lays.

I'm talking about WebStar. The latest WebStar is a web, FTP and mail
server. That means it supplants EIMS. Since I am no longer using EIMS, I
need to setup WebStar like I setup EIMS, but I'm having a hard time
figuring out exactly how. It doesn't operate quite like EIMS does. I was
hoping someone on this list was using WebStar as their mail server in
conjunction with Autoshare.

Well, after reviewing the docs, I figured it out; it was a conflict
between the "standard" and "built-in database" methods of maintaining
the list.

I may have misunderstood your question, but the sub file in the
AutoShare folder inside the Documents folder should reflect the
return mail's body. The auto-reply mail is sent by default.

IMHO, stick with either EIMS or SIMS. I was using the WebSTAR Mail
plug-in months ago and when I switched to SIMS, voila 14MB RAM freed
up and faster email processing.

I think Bill is talking about the mail server module that was added to
WebSTAR at some point. I don't think it comes "save as" and mailing list
features like we know them from EIMS and SIMS.

I don't think this would work. Webstar stores messages in a completely
different way than EIMS, so Autoshare wouldn't work.
I'm on the Webstar-talk list, and there have been numerous problems with
the mail plugin. The latest version fixes most of the problems (4.3, I
think) - but you can't use Autoshare with it.
You could probably turn mail off in Webstar, and run webstar, eims, and
autoshare on the same machine (well, if it was fast enough and you didn't
get that much traffic).
I'm running eims, autoshare, and machttp (predecessor to webstar) on an
LCIII and it runs ok.

Yes, you can replace the sub file with a sub folder and put both a Default

this folder.

Subject: Autoshare vs. OE/Entourage
Hello there,
I sent this message to Mikael Hansen, AutoShare's author recently,
but didn't receive a response yet. I just discovered these lists, so
I thought I would post here for some help as well.
The problem we have is appearing in Outlook Express/Entourage
clients. Autoshare is sending a response, but these Microsoft mail
clients are showing a blank message. I found that if you view the
source of the message in these client applications, the contents of
the auto-responder are all there. What can I put in the headers of
the message so OE/Entourage will show the text properly?
I tried creating a copy of the message in Entourage, then copying the
source of that file and pasting into the responder's text file, but
that failed miserably. The copy of that message is at the very bottom
of this email...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please cc: me directly
when you respond to the list...
Thanks!

* This section lists a few generic fixes for Installers built with
InstallerMaker.
1) Memory - Installers can be memory hogs. We set the default memory
partition to what we have determined is an average memory requirement for
installers; however, if your installer installs a large number of items,
large files, has banners and/or sounds, large or deep start-up pictures, yo
u
may need to increase the memory partition of your installer. To do this:
a) Open your installer archive and choose ³Installer Finder Info² from the
Options menu.
b) Increase the the numbers for preferred and minimum sizes.
2)Damaged Files - If your problem revolves around a particular file in your
installer, that file may be damaged. To verify this, open the installer
archive and use the Verify command from the File menu. The only thing to do
about damaged files is replace them with a known good copy.
3) Broken or Invalid Links - Internally InstallerMaker uses a system of
links to connect files in the archive. Though not a significant problem wit
h
current versions of InstallerMaker, these links could become damaged in
older versions. So one thing to try if your installer is acting strange is:
a) Open your installer archive and select ³Convert² from the File menu.
b) From the pop-up menu at the bottom of the dialog select ³As
Template² an
d
save the new archive template
c) Open the new template along with the old archive.
d) Bring the archive forward and select all.
e) Drag the items from the old archive to the new template. When asked if
you want to keep the packages, select ³Yes²
f) This ³Template² is now an exact copy of your archive but with
a fresh se
t
of file links.
Common Issues: StuffIt Engine SDK
1) The StuffIt Engine SDK is currently only available for the Macintosh
platform. Though other platforms are planned, we don¹t currently have a
time line for support for other platforms.
2) If you are using the StuffIt Engine or StuffIt Engine components
internally within your program it is expected that the magicCookie will be
set to 0 after calling OpenSITEngine(). To use the magicCookie to determine
an error in opening the engine, check for a negative value.

Subject: Starting up AS Admin
Hi,
I am running AutoShare 4.2.1 and AuoShare Admin 4.2.1 on MacOS 8.5.1(US)
When I am starting up AS Admin I get the error:
"An error occurred while executing the script of current application
A resource wasn't found (-192)"
I click OK and select Configuration > Where > Local
I select the AutoShare application
I get automatically the "Where" window again and have to reselect the
AutoShare application.
After this procedure I can use the Admin application.
What do you think about this behaviour in general and the script
error (A resource wasn't found (-192) in particular ?
TIA,

Get the 4.2.2 beta, which attends to this.

Subject: Mailbacks have suddenly stopped working
Running 4.2.2d4.
Yesterday, mailbacks seemed to be working OK. I don't remember doing
anything to the lists, but suddenly mailbacks are broken.
I've had the "j" in the Misc Stuff field forever so that confirmation
codes are picked up from the subject line, even though commands are
found in the body of the message. Now, for some reason, AutoShare is
ignoring command codes in the subject and only checking the body of the
message. Needless to say, this is causing great consternation and
making my subscription instructions useless.
I've checked the documentation, and everything seems to me to be set up
correctly, so please don't hesitate to suggest simple things; I'm ready
to believe that I'm not seeing things that are right in front of my face.

I suggest that you set up a test folder and create a save as mail
account to point to it, then send a message using Entourage to this
account. Once the message file has arrived in the test folder,
StuffIt the file and send it to me off the list, so that I can take a
look at it.

Are you saying that mail-backs are not created, or is it that they
are not released once the confirmation is sent?
