Re: URLs in list messages
Those redirect links are created by Dada Mail, they're used to track clickthroughs. If you want, you may disable the feature in the Tracker plugin.
Obv. no credit card information is kept on file - and obv. the app doesn't phone home for this or anything Dada Mail does,

Reason I'm asking is because some random subscriber on a list had his credit card show a fraudulent charge 30 minutes after he clicked on a link and made a purchase, so of course he's blaming me. I'm pretty sure there's nothing fishy going I here because the link does redirect to the secured page, and there's nothing weird appended on it or anything, so he truly gets where he's going, and my server is now out of the game. I just want to be able to explain why the links look the way they do, so I can get them to leave me alone.
