Subject: x-List RFC fields
hi folks,
I'm new to the list. I checked the FAQ, web pages, install instructions....
It seems like the RFC-x-list fields have been added to the Outgoing
announcements on my autoshare server. The documentation (1.3 addendum)
says they're "helpful," but I can't find any other info on it at all.
I do not want to the fields to show (or at least not all of them).
Seems there must be a way to eliminate/choose them; have I missed something
obvious?
Help please? thanks,
Rick

Have you tried turning on the help balloons? The information there

Subject: Auto-archiving not working?
I recently got AutoShare with the intention of switching a mailing list I
run to it from the simple mailing list feature in EIMS.
Everything seems to be working fine, except that I can't get the
archiving to work. I tried selecting a path to my web directory (which is
mounted with AppleShare (actually netatalk)) first in the global list
configuration and later in the one specific to my list. I've never seen
anything show up in the configured folder. Thinking there might be a
problem with remote disks, I tried pointing at a local folder but that
didn't work either.
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? If I understand
the docs correctly, all that's needed is to define a folder to save the
created html pages in. Is there something else?
I'm running 7.6.1 on a 7100/66AV if that matters.

I'm not sure what your web directory has to do with archiving your list.
Maybe I misunderstand what you're asking, but I'll go ahead and throw in my
2 cents anyway.
For your list, among other folders, you need an archive folder (mine is
called "Archives") in your "Auto" folder, and your list admin should show
that as your archive folder.
A folder is then created in that archive folder given the same name as my
list, and within that folder are 4 files:
current.html - archived posts
current.toc - summary of archived posts
digest.html - digest being created
digest.toc - summary of digest being created
I'm by no means an expert on all this stuff, but I do have this working
fine for my list.
Cheers,
Bill

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I'm referring to the
feature called "automated web archives" in the docs. Unless I'm totally
misunderstanding what they say, a set of html pages (including an
index.html page) should be created in the specified directory (Web Path). I
see nothing of the kind in the selected directory. In fact no files are
created there at all.
Oh and BTW, I still get the dialog to locate AutoShare.68K every time I
run the Admin tool. I've seen the discussion of this in the archives, but
I've never seen a solution. At least not one that works for me. I'm running
7.6.1 on a 7100/66AV.

Can you expand a little? What exactly are you trying to achieve here?
Changing the To: address wouldn't hide the list name of an AutoShare list,
since the list name is also in the X-List headers.

I never see the 'locate AutoShare.68K'. My solution is simple - I use the
Complete Admin form and keep it in the same directory as the Autoshare app.
For the record, v1.3 was a completely unevenful upgrade and has run nonstop
(LCiii, sys 7.6.1) since the release date without a hiccup.

Is it possible to have a list within a list with AutoShare? For instance,
List 1 contains members A, B, and C. List 2 contains List 1 plus member D.
Incidentally, I've tried this, and it seems to only send the message to
member D, but not to A, B, or C. So, I'm wondering if I did something
wrong or if it's simply not possible.

Ah! That worked. I put Autoshare.ppc and the AutoShare.68k resource file
in the same folder as the AutoShare Admin app. So far it hasn't asked me
where Autoshare.68k is. Thanks!
I still have the problem with the automatic web archive generation however.

It would be a good idea to generate an analysis file and take a look at

The problem with subscribing a list to another list is that any message
from the first list contains a precedence: bulk header, which causes
AutoShare to filter the message out before it gets to the second list.
This is done to prevent mail loops, and to prevent AutoShare vacation
notices going out to mailing lists.
I've heard of one person hacking the precedence header strings to achieve
this very thing, but I do not recommend it!
Try this:
list account points to
==== ======= =========
foo foo filed mail
foo.m foo.m file (in LS folder)
foo.d foo.d file (in LS folder)
bar bar filed mail
bar.m foobar.m account
bar.d foobar.d account
foobar.m mailing list containing foo.m and bar-m account names
foobar.d mailing list containing foo.d and bar-d account names
bar-m bar.m file (in LS folder)
bar-d bar.d file (in LS folder)
A message to list 'foo' goes only to that list, and a message to list 'bar'
goes to both. I hope...
This may or may not be quite what you had in mind!

There is currently no way to remove the X-headers, they are created
automatically by AutoShare. Mikael has indicated that he might allow the
option to turn some of these headers off, but that's for some future
version.
Personally, I'd like the option to define a set of unique headers for each
list (I find the defaults are not always appropriate).

It is indeed a feature of Eudora 3. I don't know how to turn it off, since
I'm still happily using Eudora Pro version 2.14 ;-)

any way for a list recipient to request it? Is there any way the admin
person can force it out?
Thanks,
Bill

Subject: auto digest after subscribe--feature?
Hello all,
My autoshare seems to send out a digest to everyone who subscribes
immediately after they subscribe. I have not enabled the "digest" feature.
The list involved is an announcement list. Can I turn off this auto digest
feature? Do I need to throw away my digest files? anybody got an idea?
thanks,
Rick

Rick,
When a user subscribes, in mail mode vs. digest mode, a partial digest with that
days postings to date, will be sent out to the new user. If there have not been
any postings to that list, for that day, then no partial digest message will go
out.
I don't recall a way to turn it off.

It looks like it. The folder ::Auto:Archives:Futaba-L: contains the files
Current.html, Current.toc, Digest.html, and Digest.toc which are updated
when I send something to the list.
>It would be a good idea to generate an analysis file and take a look at

From the analysis file:
General list configuration (1000):
listmaster at buffy.ao dot com (Kurt Kohler)
subscription, reply-to list, show names
address:
NOCONCEAL, NODIGEST, MAIL, NOACK, POST
rollover is 0, max lines is 0, quote disabled
show list
web path: Antares Home:public_html:Archives:
List-specific configuration:
Futaba-L (1001):
kohler at buffy.ao dot com (Kurt Kohler)
subscription, reply-to list, show names
address: <default>
NOCONCEAL, NODIGEST, MAIL, ACK, POST
rollover is 0, max lines is 0, quote disabled
X-List-Help: <default>
no alternate name, show list
web path: <default>
mail-back string: <default>
subject prefix: <default>
remote password: <default>
So the web path is set. As I understand it, a folder called "Futaba-L"
should be created inside the "Archives" folder. If I create that folder it
remains empty. If I delete it, it doesn't get recreated.
Since the volume "Antares Home" is on a unix box (Solaris running
netatalk), I thought there might be a problem with case sensitivity, but I
haven't been able to get various combinations to work. I can't guarantee
that I've tried all possible combinations.
Is there something else I should look for in the Analysis file? I can
mail the whole file to anyone who wants to see it. I didn't think posting
it to the list would be appreciated!

No, not currently. But you can copy and paste the contents of the file into
a mail and send to your lists at this time.

Anyone can send a mail to your list server address and specify the file
name (Month.<list>) on a line by itself in the body. Any no-space file name
in the docs/autoshare folder is considered a command, e.g. Help.

Are your standard archives set to Text or HTML? Must be HTML.

Is there a way of turning off only the hard bounce?
I have discovered that three members of one of my lists with the same ISP
were hard bounced on the same day, since two of them have since told me
that there is nothing wrong with their connection I suspect a problem at
the ISP to be the cause.

That was it! I suppose I should have seen the connection but I didn't.
Wouldn't it be reasonable to force HTML if Web Path is non-blank?

For a hard bounce to occur, you'd have to get a 550 error (user unknown).
So yes, I expect their ISP had a problem.
It occurs to me to wonder if AutoShare filters can be applied to the bounce
account (care to try it Bill?).
Then it would just be a question of filtering bounces from that particular
domain. Provided you have 'keep copies' checked for the bounce account, it
would still be possible to keep an eye on things manually.

No, not currently. I'll keep it in mind though.
From the "Bounces and unsubscriptions" section in the 1.3 Addendum: "the
550 code (user unknown) is the only one so far to trigger a hard bounce
status". The 550 code is generally considered so severe though that instant
action may be taken.

Then we'd get people asking "Why do my archives come out as HTML when I've
set them to text?" ;-)
Perhaps the tidiest solution would be to allow creation of both text and
HTML archives in this particular case. You could consider renaming the
plain text archives, too. Then it would be possible to GET a current.html
or a current.txt.

I'm sorry. It would seem that the mail is gone. Any mail message arriving
in the Filed Mail folder is deleted as soon as it has been processed. You
may be able to track down some sender information in the log though and
then ask the senders to re-send the mails.
It would be so cool if EIMS was scriptable, as AutoShare would be able to
directly configure EIMS accounts and thereby be making the AutoShare
configuration both easier and safer. All of you, please send suggestions to
<mailto:eims-beta at eudora dot com> and ask for scriptability, at least for
accounts. Thanks!

For those of you that have not heard, the above info. is for you...
Now, for the new stuff...
Has anyone tried the Ph server???
I don't know much about it, but it seems like a nice way to access your
EIMS index of users.
Very snappy and has the ability to use '*' notation (like partials in
FileMaker searches)...
However! This poses a security risk for those people that use the secret
'.m' and '.d' (work list accounts) options as it will list all accounts in
the server if you fiddle with it enough...
What can be done?
Can someone please enlighten me on what a 'Ph' server *really* is.
Thanks Gang...

OK folks, I think I jumped the gun a bit, after some more fiddling, it
would seem that the server only sends back queries regarding the 'name'
field. So I went into the server and removed the 'name's from the accounts
I didn't wish to show and all it fine now...
But...

"Ph" is also known as the "UIUC CSO Nameserver"; it is a directory
information system. Steve Dorner worked on it way back in his days of being
an employee for the University of Illinois at Champagne/Urbana in Illinois.
I remember asking around for a Mac Ph server a couple of years ago, and I'm
glad it's in the Eudora IMS now!
From John Norstad's NewsWatcher manual: "The URL standard does not include
"ph" URLs, but they seemed useful, so Farhad Anklesaria (the author of
TurboGopher), Steve Dorner (the author of Eudora) and your humble author
invented them.". So <ph://ns.flunku.edu/john%20doe> is fine.

That is weird! The question is whether the log was okay when it left the
AutoShare processing or it was garbled afterwards when mailed across the
net, perhaps some funny 8-bit stuff. The size of the log seems odd at well.

Is that a rhetorical question, or is there some way for me to find out?

Okay, I've been wanting this, and now I have it, but I don't know how to
implement it. The addendum reads:

I would like the subscriber address to be extracted from the RFC From
field, but I have no idea what is meant by using the "RFC From property in
the AppleScript Options (Misc)". If someone would walk me through this
process, I would be very grateful (I was hoping there'd be a simple switch
to flip in the admin program, but I see no such beast).
Thanks,
Bill

It has a dictionary, though there is only 'open' and 'quit' in it, so full
scriptabilty may not be far away.

The Admin:
Choose More Miscellaneous from the Preferences menu and check 'RFC From (vs
envelope)'. Easy, isn't it? :-)
AppleScript (see the AppleEvent dictionary and the sample files):
tell application "AutoShare.68k" -- or .ppc
SetMisc Options {RFC From: true}
end tell

Generally, you would create a file in your Filters folder with the name of
your list and then add lines such as "pwrnet.com", "sam@pwrnet dot com" or
"From: sam@pwrnet dot com". If you dont specify a given RFC body header, all of
From:, To:, Subject:, Reply-To and Sender: are applied.
While filter support for auto-responses including list server requests has
been around forever, filter support for lists is fairly new (I don't
remember precisely when it was added).

This works great too.
One more question... is there any way to get a list to reply-to the RFC
From address?
Example:
I sent a note to Autoshare with another user in the From field. Autoshare
accepted the input from that user, but when it sent out a reply, it still
sent it back to the Envelope sender (i.e., me).
