What's New?

v4.9.0 has focused on two things: Bounce Handler and Mass Mailing Speed

Bounce Handler has been given a well-deserved focus of our attention to make it better than ever:

• Bounce message filtered has been updated and improved
• Per-list settings for scoring, threshold and "decay" rates
• Decay Rates! (how much a bounce score is lowered, for each mass mailing you send out, to keep good addresses out of your Bounce Scorecard)
• Amazon SES Support
• A new chapter in the Dada Mail Manual, devoted to the Bounce Handler. If you have a Never-Ending Subscription to Pro Dada/Dada Mail Manual, read it right now:

Mass Mailing has also been given a healthy dose of optimization, leading to some good speedups, while using less memory. We dug deep:

• A new option to use a faster, up 10x faster (but 100% compatible with the old) templating engine. Read more:

• Amazon SES sending is now around 3x faster, thanks to our own brewed module to send messages with a persistent connection
• A nasty memory bug fixed, which was eating up memory and slowing down (or possibly stopping) mass mailings
• A ton of work, to squeeze out every bit of performance. Here's some more details:
