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 you're running Dada Mail under CGI, here are the only files you will need to adjust:

dada/installer/install cgi dada/installer/templates/mail cgi tmpl (perhaps any of the extensions you are using)

No need to change any of the plugins

Right, I had to change the log_viewer extension

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

I think it's a great idea, but there's a Catch 22 - how do you modify the script to point to another Perl, using the script that needs to be modified? There's probably a better way to do this, probably with using an environmental variable

Does the installer script really require 5 10? Perhaps it could be made to work with 5 8 and if /usr/bin/perl is <5 10 look in other paths (like cpanel) for a different version of perl?

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/…

The curl command I provide is just used as an example (and is labeled as such) - it's true that you may need to modify it for your own use But, I utilize the curl command unmodified in the majority of my installations Putting this as an example of a, "this may be needed because X" wouldn't be a bad addition to the doc (http://dadamailproject com/d/features-scheduled_cronjobs pod html) - what's the reasoning?

Do you know why the default curl user agent doesn't work and my installation requires this extra option? Is it related to a specific cpan library version? I thought it was something that would affect all Dadamail users, not just my installation

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?

Without any error logs, I'm not really sure

The problem was that the sendmail command returned success after every batch and there were not any errors Is there a way to turn on more logging? I can try again I suspect it was the hosting provider and it was very frustrating to not get any errors

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

Ditto

I cannot find any error messages related to SES credentials in any of the logs, only the warning in the web interface dialog Is there somewhere I can enable more logging?

Thank you
