Subject: AutoShare 3.0 public beta
The 3.0b4 archive has been uploaded to
<ftp://ftp.dnai.com/users/m/meh/AutoShare/Beta/>
The archive includes only the files that are newer than 2.4. While I
believe that 3.0b4 is free of bugs, do keep in mind that running a beta is
generally viewed as risky business.
The 3.0 beta is likely to behave the way version 2.4 does. Although you
don't have to really prepare for start using version 3.0, it is recommended
that you run the logs and digests "now" using the version you're upgrading
from whenever an upgrade takes place.
I like to throw in a major feature for a major version. Version 3.0
introduces a new built-in database subscriber format, which allows you to
add optional fields to any subscriber record, such as date of subscription.
This can be accomplished while keeping a high processing speed and yet low
on memory and disk storage.
The configuration of the new features in 3.0 is described in the updated
HTML documentation, which includes links to the new features at the top of
it. Another feature is the use of language files aimed at messages returned
to subscribers; several such languages files are included in the beta
archive. Version 3.0 also introduces MIME digests as attachments, which
digest subscribers on the talk list have recently been exposed to.
Best wishes for a fun Friday and a pleasant Labor Day weekend.

Hi,
I found this in the AS docs:
>One of the nice things about AutoShare is that it applies the Precedence: bulk by suppressing responses and list contributions for mails

This could be a nice thing but I would like to turn off the insert of the "bulk" keyword to the RFC header - for special list only?!
The problem is: one of my customers who is asking for a mailing list - but they block all incomming mail with Precedence: bulk, so they never see a copy of theire own list...
Any idea?

Welcome to the list, Mark :-)

Is it possible that you're subscribed to the list with two different
addresses (your personal address and listmaster@, for instance?) Or is
everyone getting two copies of each message?
I'm prompted to ask because I have three posting addresses subscribed to
this list - one "digest", one "nodigest" and one "nomail" :-)

Autoshare status screen shows two email addresses at "From" line.
For example, if I sent an email with an alias "xxx@yyy dot edu" which was sent

The "From" line appears as xxx at yyy.edu [xxx at zzz dot yyy dot edu].

I am trying a cgi program on the unix which relays email from a web page to
autoshare. Unfortunately the program below seems to pick up
the sender's email address from the unix system. In my case
nobody@host of cgi program rather than email address users provide.

There's a checkbox labelled RFCFrom (vs envelope) under Preferences... More

You can create a text file with the same name as the list, with subscribers
in the format:
address (name)
If you drag and drop the file onto the AutoShare application, all addresses
in the file will be automatically subscribed. I don't think AutoShare will
recognise a 'tab tab return' delimited list.

I have tried, but cannot reproduce this. Would you mind sending me a
StuffIt archive holding the AutoShare Log file (after a test message has
been processed and just before running the logs) and the Log.Generic file
(after running the logs; have the mail server shut down here to be able to
grap it).
The log totals are btw not listed when zero. (You can list them anyway by
adding the letter i to the Misc Stuff field after Command-J in the Admin.)
Your total is zero because there is no log entry to increment it (the
interesting part is if the entry appears in the raw AutoShare Log file).

No, I'm afraid not. From the documentation

You don't have to, as remote administration by e-mail is password-based

Subject: Msg Distribution Failure
Yesterday was a tragic play for me -- too bad it was real. I've had an
AutoShare server set up for a while for my own needs. I agreed to send out a
message for a co-worker to a distribution list he brought me -- it seemed
simple enough and I've done it quite often in the past.
Anyway, the list named "distribution" contained something over 200 recipient
addresses and included an attachment. When SIMS tried to send the message out
it failed. I've examined several SIMS logs and I seem to get "-15010" errors
with list messages but not with other individual email messages.
I know this is not a SIMS forum but this behavior only seems to exist with
AutoShare messages and I thought the experts here might have some insight.
(I've also sent this message to the SIMS mail list.)
Below is a segment of the SIMS log. Anyone know what the "-15010" error is here?

It's exactly that, I have just changed the password and everything is
OK.... It could be very usefull Mikael that the possibility to have
more complicated password exists.
Maybe a note in the documentation !

If you are able to send me a StuffIt'ed archive with the (or a similar)
message file processed by AutoShare, I can look into it.

Subject: Autoshare mute
Hi all
Everything with AS 2.3 was fine until this morning. The loss of daily logs
alerted me. A few tests revealed the real problem, nothing more is passing
thru AS! Messages in the filed folder ok, then AS processes, thenŠ nothing=
,
messages vanish.
No they don't, they end up in the autoshare temp folder in the prefs.
The only unusual thing yesterday was a Netprez crash, but everything seemed
fine after reboot.
A little voice in my head says this problem has already been covered, but I
don't remember when. What should I do, upgrade AS, check prefs,
test/unfragment/rebuild my disks ?
Thanks for help.

Subject: Autoshare not mute any more
Hi again
I solved my problem, but I'm not sure why.
First I replaced 2.3 with 2.4. AS crashed at startup, just after verifying
lists - and before processing autoshare temp files?
So I looked closer in this folder, there was a 1.2mo file that was stuck,
badly addressed.
Removed the file, re-started, AS was fine.
Then I deliberatly sent a mail to a bogus address, this time the error
message came back fine - and so were all the files waiting in the autoshare
temp folder correctly processed.
I don't have a clear idea of what happened, but everything's fine know.
Just for info

There was a problem with 2.3 if mailbacks were enabled and the mailback
folder path was not defined. This may be the cause of your problem if your
preferences file or hard drive have been corrupted.
Upgrading to 2.4 or 3.0b5 would be a good idea :-)

Is there a way to tell if a preference file is corrupted? It contains no
resource fork.
>Upgrading to 2.4 or 3.0b5 would be a good idea :-)
This is probably why all is fine now.

In 3.0, a sanity check is performed on the resource fork of the AutoShare
preferences file(s) at start-up; if the verification fails, the AutoShare
server application shuts down. The sanity check may be performed on any
file's resource fork using the Verify File AppleScript command. Keep in
mind though that the sanity check passes if there is no resource fork, as
it must be present to potentially be bad.

Hi --
I'm using Autoshare 2.2. Using Autoshare Admin on an Appletalk LAN, I open
up the lists on the server. So far so good. Then I click on a particularly
large mailing list and, while I'm waiting for the subscribers to appear in
the right hand window, I get this error message:
An error occurred while executing
the script of «class LIST» "lists":

That's what the From and Count fields are for, because there can only be so
many subscriber entries in memory at one time. You can also stretch it by
giving the Admin more memory.
Versions later than 2.2 display a better message than the one you got.

If nobody wants the complete remote administration by Web, I can work on

It would be nice to have the following feature for the case that
verification fails:
1) An alias to Incomming Mail (for EIMS) or Submitted (for SIMS) in the
same folder AutoShare app is.
2) If the first condition is OK, then AutoShare will generate mail
addressed to "postmaster" containing a message that the Preferences file is
broken. Both EIMS and SIMS support using only name (without domain) for
local delivery, so the previous condition (the folder alias) is the only
one needed.

It offers a neat interface to the preferences across the Internet, so I
hope that it'll be updated for the 3.0 release. Honza, did you include
sample CGI URLs in your notes?
If you don't have a web server running on the server Mac and still need
access to the preferences across the Internet, I have for the next beta
implemented SetRes, GetRes and Run commands for remote administration by
e-mail. It works fine, but you need to read the section on "AutoShare
Preferences and list-specific configuration" in the documentation.
