What you want is included in the example scripts with the newest version of
Autoshare. I haven't a moment to give you chapter and verse, but I think it
will do what you want. Users can turn notices on and off and can create
their own response message.

Subject: De-URL Email Addresses in Web Archives?
It would be very helpful if AutoShare had an option to "de-url" email
addresses in web archives, to make them harder for spam harvesters.
For example, it could change "biff@example dot org" to "biff at example
dot org". Something simple like this could be very useful.

Hi all,
I have a subscribers-only list where most users are
user at company.domain dot fr, but a few of them keep messing with their
mail settings and have a return address of
user at mailserver.company.domain dot fr. Is there a way I can tell AS that
mailserver.company.domain.fr is the same that company.domain.fr thus
not rejecting valid mail?
Thanks in advance,

Subject: AutoShare and EIMS 3.1.1?
Hi,
We're having a little trouble with an AutoShare list server interacting
with EIMS Server Light 3.1.1, which we recently upgraded from 1.3.
The AutoShare version is 4.2.3d1. We're running this on an iMac running
OS 9.0.4 with 64Mb physical memory and quite a bit of unused disk space.
There are several other servers running on this iMac also.
The problem is this: AutoShare is writing text files (TEXT/ttxt) which
do have the two STR and STR# 8192 resources, both of which look fine
to us. However, EIMS seems not to be processing them. They just sit in
the Incoming Mail folder. There appear to be no EIMS log messages or
other indications that EIMS is unhappy with the files.
I've tried restarting EIMS and the machine. I've read all available
documentation and FAQs on both the AutoShare site and the EIMS site.
AutoShare and EIMS 1.3 played together just fine. The bad behavior
started occurring after upgrading to EIMS 3.1.1.
Does this sound like a familiar problem? What can I do about it?

This sounds like a problem in defining the folders in Autoshare. Double
check those settings. Did you upgrade Autoshare? The default location of
the folders changed. Did you freshly install EIMS? Thin incoming mail
folder moved. These are just examples, but I'll bet that somewhere among
these possibilities the answer to your problem lies.
Good Luck

Subject: Re: AutoShare and EIMS 3.1.1?
>Hi Chuck,
Thanks for your kind reply.
Yes, we think it might be a problem in the AutoShare defined folders, too.
We do realize the incoming mail folder has changed in EIMS 3.1.1. We did
reset the AutoShare Incoming Mail folder setting and AutoShare does
write the text files to that folder.
Our AutoShare version is the very latest, we believe, at 4.2.3d1.
Yes, we freshly installed EIMS Server Light 3.1.1 when we upgraded from
its demo version and from a very old version 1.3.1.
Actually, I think we may have just figured out the problem. In the fine
print of the EIMS Server Light 3.1.1 description, it explicitly states
that the "Incoming Mail folder is not supported." Guess it's time to
upgrade to the non-Light version.

Subject: Autoshare not writing to the list file
Hi all,
we have several lists running well. I set up an new list with the
same config as others. You can subscribe , unsubscribe and get the
mail answers. Rewiew and commands are working, but after subscribing,
autoshare does not add the address to the list file, but it sends out
the confirmation that you are subscribed.
with the admin application, you can add users and autoshare add them
to the list file. I deleted the list and started from scratch but the
list file for the new list is not updated.
any ideas, what could be wrong.
Thanks a lot

Subject: Bounce Message Help - 2nd try
Hello,
I send this question a few months ago and got no response. Is there
anyone that can help with the following? Please help.
We have the Autobounce feature set up so that if an address is
invalid, Autoshare handles the sending of the bounce message. That
works great with one exception:
How can we tell the person the bad email address? E.g. if a person
sends a message
To: good_address at miph dot org, bad_address at miph dot org
From: jdoe@somewhere
Is there a way for the bounce message to say:
Your message to "bad_address@miph dot org" failed because the user
"bad_address@miph dot org" is not valid.
Currently we have a generic message that makes it nearly impossible
for the person to know which address was bad.
Thanks for any help the list can provide.

Subject: Please Help! Autoshare missing?
Hello,
Last week I upgraded our mail/web server to an OS X box. We run EIMS
3.0.3 and Autoshare 4.2.3 in Classic on the box. After the upgrade
and fighting with OS X file permissions I had autoshare working.
Sending messages brought the intended result.
Now, suddenly Autoshare seems to have gone deaf. When I send a
message to a list (or even to autoshare) I don't get any response
back.
If I look in the Autoshare window on the server, it says "Last
message processed: " with the proper message that I just sent. It
seems like Autoshare can get mail but not return anything.
I know of nothing that has changed on the machine between last week and today.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot and fix this one?
Thanks,

I know that there is a mechanism in Autoshare that when an address
bounces, they can be subscribed off ALL lists, instead of just one.
Does anyone know of a way this can be done for unsubscribing. For
example, could someone send a message to autoshare saying unsubscribe
All instead of unsubscribe <list name> ?

Subject: Attachments sent to an autoreply account
Hi,
One of my customers has an autoreply set up in AutoShare and EIMS.
In EIMS both the login checkbox and the account checkbox are enabled
for that account.
When somenone sends a message to that autoreply account, the sender
gets the autoreply text back and the original message is sent to
another account.
When someone sends a message with an attachment to the autoreply
account, the following happens.
Opening the attachment from the autoreply account shows an attachment
which is unreadable while the attrachment is properly seenfor the
account which gets the original message (+ attachment) from the
sender.
Can you explain what might the cause the problem here?
Maybe it is better to only enable the account checkbox for an
autoreply account, I am asking myself now.
Here is a part of such an unreadable attachment.
Thank you for your attention.

Subject: Attachments sent to an autoreply account -part2
Hi,
I have done some checking meanwhile.
A message with an attachment sent to an autoreply account shows up IN message.
So there is not a real attachment anymore send with the message.
In AutoShare Admin's More Miscellaneous for that domain I have tried
the option "QP Always" as well as "MIME QP" but the result is the
same.
Help!

Subject: Attachments sent to an autoreply account
Hi,
One of my customers has an autoreply set up in AutoShare and EIMS.
In EIMS both the login checkbox and the account checkbox are enabled
for that account.
When somenone sends a message to that autoreply account, the sender
gets the autoreply text back and the original message is sent to
another account.
When someone sends a message with an attachment to the autoreply
account, the following happens.
Opening the attachment from the autoreply account shows an attachment
which is unreadable while the attrachment is properly seenfor the
account which gets the original message (+ attachment) from the
sender.
Can you explain what might the cause the problem here?
Maybe it is better to only enable the account checkbox for an
autoreply account, I am asking myself now.
Here is a part of such an unreadable attachment.
Thank you for your attention.

Subject: Smarter Bounce Processing?
AutoShare's automated bounce processing is excellent, but of course
nothing is perfect and a fairly high number of bounces (while still a
low percentage) do slip by and get sent to be as "unresolved".
Often these occur because some dolt subscribed to a list using an
address that is forwarded to a different address, and that final
address bounces. The text of the bounce of course indicates the
final address, which AutoShare of course can not find subscribed.
What I generally do in such cases is scan the forwarded headers
included in the bounce, looking for the one that says "Received from
<my AutoShare host name>" (added by the first host to get the mail
from my host). If I'm lucky, this Received header contains a "for"
clause. The address in the "for" clause is the one subscribed. If
AutoShare could do this as part of its automated bounce processing,
it would greatly help.
(The other approach, which is also a good idea, is to use the
original recipient parameter to the mail from command. If you get
lucky, all SMTP servers support this and include it in the bounce.)

Hello,
Autoreplies sometimes work and sometimes get mangled. This has been a

Mikael has not been answering posts on this site for a long time. I doubt
very much that you will see an OS X version of any part of Autoshare in the
immediate future. I doubt that anything more will be done with improving
Autoshare (and hope I am wrong). I also expect that many of us, myself
included, are going to need to look at some other listserv software. There
is no indication that listserv features will be part of EIMS in the
immediate future either, and little movement to OS X for EIMS because of
limitations that are apparently part of the OS.

When a user posts to a list, the plain text message comes through
exactly as sent. If there is an attachment with the message, the plain
text portion of the message turns into a separate attachment. Some
recipients [who don't decode text attachments inline] aren't smart
enough to look at the attachment and don't understand the empty message.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that prevents the text portion
from becoming an attachment? I'm running AutoShare 4.2 on top of EIMS 3.0.3.

Subject: Re: Vacation Notices
Note: this is a long one. Please resist the urge to quote the whole
thing to the list if you feel the need to respond. Tnx.
------------------------------------------------
Vacation Notices:
We've actually done the "automatic" vacation notice control with EIMS.
Well, it's almost automatic. There's probably some controls I'm missing
but we can MAKE it work by installing the files manually.
1: In the AutoShare distribution, there are scripts that help the
process. Look in Samples:Sample Process Extenders:Before Processing
folder:Vacation. You'll find an AppleScript and a folder full of text
files. Put the "Before Processing" AppleScript in the "Process
Extenders" folder of the AutoShare application. Then put the "Vacation"
folder with everything in it into the "Documents" folder of AutoShare.
2: Pick a <username> on your mail server to experiment with. In the
"Documents" folder, make a folder called the <username> and put a text
file in it called "default". This is the returned message for that
user. In "default", you can put tokens and a message like this:
---------------------------------------------------
/=subject Laura out of the office
/=reply-to laura at blahblah dot com
Laura will be out of the office until New Year.
Thank You.
---------------------------------------------------
The mail user will be able to edit this file.
3: In the AutoShare "Filters" folder, make a text file named the
<username> which contains five asterisks ( ***** ). That's it for files.
4: We're running EIMS. Configure the <username> for "Save as Files" in
Mail Server:Auto:Filed Mail (that's a path - the hard drive is called
"Mail Server"). If you're using EIMS, check the "Keep copies" box,
otherwise all the mail will be thrown away once the vacation notifier
processes it and the mail user will have no mail when they return.
5: Make a new user on your mail server called "vacation" and send it to
the same place; "Save as files" to the "Filed Mail" folder of AutoShare.
Any mail sent to the <username> will now get diverted to the AutoShare
"Filed Mail" folder. AutoShare will find the file in there (eventually)
and check the headers for any actions that need to be taken. AS far as
we can tell, the trigger for an autoresponder is the presence of a
folder with a matching username and default file in the "Documents"
folder. Without that, nothing happens. We've found that when we set
these up, the Vacation Notifier is already turned on, so you might want
to turn it off - keep reading how.
Within 20 seconds after you send an email to a vacation enabled <user>,
the AutoShare console will show activity for that message. The text
file in the "Filters" folder will be updated with the email address of
the sender added after the *****. This prevents the same sender from
getting endless vacation notices. If you remove the asterisks, the
filter will not save the addresses.
The user now has control over the account. Each of the text files in
the "Vacation" folder that came with the AppleScript may be edited to
say whatever you want. Commands to control the vacation notifier match
the names of the text files in that folder. You can even add your own
"help" file and call it "help" which will be returned. All commands go
to "vacation@yourdomain dot com". Here's an excerpt from our help file (you
fill in your own domain name):
----------------------------------------------------------------
=========================
Basic Commands
=========================
Controlling your vacation notice may be done by sending an email to
vacation at yourdomain dot com.
Commands are placed in the SUBJECT
line of your email. The available commands are:
On - Turns your vacation notice ON
Off - Turns your vacation notice OFF
Doc - modifies the vacation notice document returned to others
Help - returns this message to you
The commands and addresses are not case sensitive. Off is OFF is OfF.
================================
Creating Notifier Messages - DOC
================================
First, create your own customized return message:
1- Make an email message addressed to vacation at yourdomain dot com.
2- In the to SUBJECT line, put the word DOC.
3- In the BODY of the message, type your vacation notice message.
4- Send the message.
You will receive a confirmation through email that your vacation notice
message has been updated.
================================
Activating Your Notifier - ON
================================
Before leaving for vacation, activate your vacation notice:
1- Make an email message addressed to vacation at yourdomain dot com.
2- In the SUBJECT line, put the word ON.
3- Send the message.
You will receive a confirmation through email that your vacation notice
message has been activated. Anyone sending you an email will get your custom
message in return with a subject line matching the one they sent to you.
================================
Deactivating Your Notifier - OFF
================================
When you return, you will need to turn your vacation notice off:
1- Make an email message addressed to vacation at yourdomain dot com.
2- In the SUBJECT line, put the word OFF.
3- Send the message.
You will receive a confirmation through email that your vacation notice
message has been deactivated.
================================
Customized Subject Line
================================
You may customize the returned subject line to say something
descriptive. To
do this, begin your DOC text with a special command:
1- Make an email message addressed to vacation at yourdomain dot com.
2- In the subject line, put the word DOC.
3- Start the message BODY with "/=subject Bubba is on vacation" (without
quotes).
(Note: you may wish to replace "Bubba" with your own name)
4- On the lines following the code, type your vacation notice message.
5- Send the message.
Any message sent to you will be answered by your vacation notice text and
your customized subject line.
=========================
Message Filtering
=========================
Your email messages will only be returned once per user. Anyone sending
multiple messages will not receive multiple notifications in return. This
is especially useful if you are subscribed to a listserver. This way, you
won't be killed by the listserver users carrying pitchforks and torches
who have been mail bombed with your constant vacation notices. The filter
will be reset when you turn your notifier OFF then back ON.
=========================
Other Notes
=========================
This system is run by AutoShare, our Listserver software. You must send all
commands from a valid email account on our mail server or through our webmail
service at http://webmail.henninger.com. In other words, you cannot send
commands to your yourdomain.com account from your AOL or HotMail account.
This also prevents others from playing tricks on you.
----------------------------------------------------------------
If we're going about this the wrong way, let me know. There might be a
simple command to send to AutoShare that executes all the stuff we're
installing manually. We haven't found one but would love to hear about
one. We've considered running NetCloak on the mail server and writing
scripts that will automatically create all the documents based on a web form.

Very nicely done Steve, but not what I am looking for.
I know how to do what you describe, and in fact have done it. I think there
was a later version of the Vacation software that actually created the
necessary folders on the fly (and might even have set up the forwarding etc
in EIMS). I was sure that I had seen fooled around with it. With 1000+
users all of who might decide to go on vacation we need it to work totally
automatically. Ah well, I may be wrong. Your description is so nice and
clean that I will add it to some of the documentation I have been trying to
get set up for Autoshare stuff. I appreciate it!!

So does one need to create a separate text file like this for each
user, or just one file during setup?
Also, on an unrelated note, we are using the Bounce feature of
Autoshare. Is there a token that can be put in the bounce message
text to indicate the bad address? I had asked this question a while
back to no response.

Oh.... ~:-/
If ANYBODY can tell us how the files get written on the fly or where to
get updated scripts, that would be FABULOUS as we have over 100 users
ourselves. In the mean time, I'm going to proceed on writing web forms
and NetCloak scripts to create vacation enabled users as needed. We
would even be able to populate the vacation message file with an initial message.

It looks as though Farokh Irani of Simple Text Filter fame is going to have
a very nice vacation filter that may be able to be automated by Web plus
whatever. I'm going to look into FMPro & Lasso as the driving programs
because we have those available, but no reason it couldn't be don't with
something else.
And, I haven't given up on AutoShare either. I'm SURE I saw that script.
Now if I can just find it!!!!

Each user gets their own file which is empty except for five asterisks.
This triggers a memory function for whether a sender has already had a
vacation notice returned to them. As mail comes in, AutoShare sorts
out whether a vacation event happened and adds the sender's email
address to the recipient's filter file after the asterisks. Any email
address appearing in that file will not get a second vacation notice.
It prevents mailbombing any lists the users are on with vacation
notices. The list of addresses that accumulates in the filter file
will be cleared when the user turns off the notifier. The asterisks
are replaced by "From: @" in the file when vacation notices are off.
When the notifier is reactivated, the asterisks reappear. You can
manually add email addresses to the filter list and they will NEVER get
a vacation notice. I haven't tried this, but there's a theory that
says if you add the manual addresses before the asterisks, they will
survive the vacation notice on/off cycle.

I have no idea. I don't use the bounce feature but probably should.
There are probably a few dozen things I should be using but haven't
taken the time to figure them out, like remote administration.
Apparently, you can set a password in AutoShare and send it emails to
make it sing and dance. It has never worked for me, but I'm probably
holding my mouth wrong or something.

Subject: Header & Footer Documents Not Included
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2003 11:44:47 -0800
My problem is, I have added a new list called newsslice, using it's own
domain name and have set up Header.newsslice and Footer.newsslice in its
document folder within its own @domainname folder but they do not get added
to the emails sent to the list. I can't find a setting anywhere that
affects this.
Does anybody have information that would help me with this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Also, I've just subscribed to this talk list so please excuse me if this
question has been asked and answered previously. I did search the most
recent archives and didn't find anything.

I don't remember what it is called, but in your default document for a
posting, you must have a /=Header or /=Footer in it, and then the
header and footer documents will be replaced at those tags. I'm not
sure about the syntax either. Sorry, I don't have a place where I can
look it up right now. I do know that if you look at the fun-l examples,
you should be able to find what I am referring to.
