Cory Doctorow: The Boing Boing mailblog has always been a humongous pain to manage and run, and we spend an awful lot of time tinkering with it. As a result, we're gonna kill it (for now, anyway -- maybe in the future we'll have the bandwidth to take it up again). Thanks -- and sorry -- to all the subscribers who hung in there while we tried to make it work!

Best way to manage a personal mailing
list?

Best way to manage a personal mailing
list? 09/12/2004 04:33 PM

For many years I've been inviting a group of friends over to brunch and/or wine/cheese via a personal mailing list.  This is just a text file of the form

bcc: foo@bar.com

bcc: yow@baz.org

bcc: student@veryrich.edu

I prepare an email message in Emacs, to: philg, and then insert all of these bcc: headers.  This then gets sent to a mailer at MIT and off to the world.  Worked great in the mid-1990s before spam made the Internet the time-waster that it has become.  Now many of my friends don't get the email at all.  Hotmail, for example, when it sees something to: philg@mit.edu, bcc: happy_user@hotmail.com, sends it straight to the junk mail folder.

The challenge now is the best way to divide this up so that 100 individual emails are sent, each one from: philg, to: person_on_list.  One answer would be to write a Perl script on the Unix machine.  It would take two arguments, one the filename of a message and the other a filename with one email address on every line.  The Perl script would look through the email addresses and send out an email on my behalf.  (Anyone know where to get a script that does this already?; I checked cpan.)

Unix boxes typically have list managers such as Majordomo installed but as best as I can recall the email from these programs usually has a bulk look and feel, being sent to "fish-lovers-list" instead of the recipient.  I'm thinking that these are likely to be trapped by spam filters as well.

Another answer would seem to be Microsoft Outlook.  I switched to Outlook a couple of years ago when I got a Handspring Treo.  So why not just add every brunch guest to my Outlook contacts folder and somehow spam them from my desktop machine?  This has the advantage that I'm only keeping one database of contacts.  This has the disadvantage that it doesn't work when on the road.  The regular Outlook distribution list mechanism produces an email with multiple To: recipients, which I don't want to do because when people reply they often unintentionally reply to the entire list (in this case about 100 people).  Are there VB scripts out there that will force Outlook to send one email at a time to each person on a distribution list?  It seems as though there is a product, http://www.mapi lab.com/outlook/send_personally/, that claims to do the job.

Finally there are Web services such as Evite.  I don't really need a count of who is going to come.  These tend to more drop-in sorts of events so Evite is rather too heavy-handed.  Also Evite, I think, subjects users to banner advertisements and I'm not sure that I want to surrender control of my database to them.

Thoughts?  Scripts?  Recommendations?

Mac Software Business mailing list

Mac Software Business mailing list 01/31/2004 03:08 AM
Just about every day I talk with people who want to start a Macintosh software business.

People have all kinds of questions: can I make money at this? How much should I charge for my app? Where should I advertise? Should I do my idea as a plugin or as a separate app? What e-commerce provider should I use? Should I get a booth at Macworld?

I have opinions on some of these questions, but there are tons of things I don’t know about, and I have questions too sometimes.

So I decided to start a new mailing list on Yahoo Groups.

The description: “This group is for small, independent Macintosh developers who want to talk with other developers about the business of Mac development. Questions on pricing, packaging, advertising, e-commerce providers, and so on are on-topic. Note that this list isn’t a vehicle for promotion: announcements and press releases are off-topic.”

(You don’t have to have a business up-and-running already: it’s for people who want to start a business too.)

Save Clarion mailing-list

Save Clarion mailing-list 06/07/2004 04:17 AM
The Clarion science fiction writers' workshop at Michigan State in is pretty grave danger, despite its auspicious, 30+ year history of turning out some of the finest sf writers in the field. A bunch of alumni have started a SavingClarion mailing list to talk about how to keep the workshop going after it loses its berth at MSU. Click the link below to join.

At Wiscon last week, Lister Matheson (the director of Clarion East for the past several years) and Mary Sheridan hosted a brainstorming session to talk about what we can do to keep Clarion alive despite MSU's financial and political machinations.

We came up with some ideas, both short term and long term, in that hour and a half. Step 1 in the plan is to organize a core group of Clarionites to continue the discussion via a listserv, come up with other ideas, and begin to implement some of them. Many people who were there were eager to continue the conversation, and I think all of you might have thoughts to contribute as well.

I just set up the list, and will wait a couple days for everyone to get on it (and for Lister, Mary, and Amelia at Clarion to get back online--the university relocated their offices to rooms without sufficient electrical outlets), then summarize what we've discussed, immediate action items, and we can go from there.

I hope you'll consider joining this conversation by following the Yahoo instructions below to join the group. Feel free to direct others who may want to join us to contact me as well. Thanks.

Run a Mailing List? Better Check the
CAN-SPAM Law Tonight

Run a Mailing List? Better Check the
CAN-SPAM Law Tonight 12/31/2003 07:21 PM
I was just reading through some aspects of the CAN-SPAM law which goes into effect January 1, 2004, and realized that it is broadly applicable to normal email lists that have no ostensible commercial purpose. (Oddly, the bill was indexed incorrectly, so the key section -- number five -- is available only by scrolling down in Section 3.) That is, if you're running a regular email list that has links to a Web site that is commercial in nature (shows ads, sells a product, you make money in some fashion from it), you might need to comply with the requirements of the law. Note that I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. Discuss any specific issues about this with licensed legal talent! The law defines commercial electronic mail message as any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service (including content on an Internet website operated for a commercial purpose). But if you only incidentally mention a Web site, you're okay: The inclusion of a reference to a commercial entity or a link to the website of a commercial entity in an electronic mail message does not, by itself, cause such message to be treated as a commercial electronic mail message for purposes of this Act if the contents or circumstances of the message indicate a primary purpose other than commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service. This makes it clearer and less clear, right? If you're sending out editorial email, like a newsletter, that has advertisements in it or sponsors, or you point to your Web site which itself has advertisements or sponsors -- if you're using Yahoo Groups to send messages out, even -- it would seem that a case could be made that you're sending commercial electronic mail messages. That said, complying with the law is pretty straightforward. In general, you have to have a legitimate return address with legitimate information in it. (5) INCLUSION OF IDENTIFIER, OPT-OUT, AND PHYSICAL ADDRESS IN COMMERCIAL ELECTRONIC MAIL- (A) It is unlawful for any person to initiate the transmission of any commercial electronic mail message to a protected computer unless the message provides-- (i) clear and conspicuous identification that the message is an advertisement or solicitation; (ii) clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity under paragraph (3) to decline to receive...

(Default branch) 04/13/2005 05:00 PM
GPG-Ezmlm is an encrypted mailing list. PGP or GPG encrypted mails sent to the list are re-encrypted with subscriber keys, allowing for encrypted mail communications without requiring that all users know all other users' keys. Key exchange during list subscription is supported. It requires an existing Ezmlm installation to function.

Changes:
This release adds the ability to parse the "headeradd" file created by ezmlm by default. The copy() routine has been rewritten to support this behavior.
