Mail Lists Using Smartlist

For list manage, we use Smartlist.

Lists are located in /usr/smartlist.

You can access them from any of Our Shell Servers.

Smartlists are located in /usr/smartlist on any shell server.  Please click on the above link for shell servers that are available.   You can access with ssh, ‘ssh user@server.eskimo.com’.

To create a new list please send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request it’s creation or alternately submit a ticket.

The main thing to know is once you cd /usr/smartlst you can see a list of lists with ls. 

Then cd to YOUR list by cd listname.

Now another ls will show you a list of files.  rc.init is the main file that controls the behavior of the list.  Most options are commented.  You can edit this file with any standard text editor such as pico or vim.

The other most import file is ‘dist’.  This is a list of users who will receive mail from this list and with the default configuration that the list will accept mail from.  This default can be changed in rc.init so that you only accept mail from some members.
