Recent experiences with Dadamail v8 and SES

Hello all,

I have recently upgraded to Dadamail 8 0 2 from 7 0 1 and have run into several larger and smaller issues that I felt I should share:

1) My hosting provider is using CentOS 5 with perl 5 8 8 In order to make it work with Dadamail v8 I had to change the top of every cgi script (uncompress, install, mail, view_logs, etc) from #!/usr/bin/perl to #!/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/perl

If the installer could provide an option to rewrite the first line in all the perl scripts, that would save me a bunch of hassle

2) The curl cron command requires '-A "Mozilla/4 0"' to work properly

curl -A "Mozilla/4 0" -s --get --url http://$URL/cgi-bin/dada/mail cgi/

3) The reason for the upgrade was some very strange behavior from the email server Dadamail would report all the email as sent successfully, but no emails reached the mailing list subscribers Tech support was able to send emails quickly using the mail script and I was able to send emails from Thunderbird using the server and the test send emails from Dadamail worked normally Is there something in the way Dadamail uses sendmail that could explain this behavior? Could the use of the cpanel perl somehow have contributed to this?

4) I used this as a chance to try out the SES support and within a few hours I was able to send emails using SES The screenshots regarding the addition of the SESFullPolicy to the Dadmail user in the documentation need to be updated Also when enabling "Automatically set batching speed" option I get the message "Warning! There is a problem with your credentials" even though everything works Well done getting SES integrated so smoothly into Dadamail

Let me know if you require more details or if you would like me to create Github issues

Thanks

Konrad
