:: The Dada Mail Manual

The Dada Mail Manual has replaced the Magic Book It's filled with all new documentation, heavily covering almost every single list administration screen as well as installation, configuration, plugins/extensions and other more advanced topics

In 3 0, there are links to the relevant topics in most every list control panel screen of your own Dada Mail installation, so help is now just a click away

The Dada Mail Manual is more user-centered than the Magicbook was, filling the need for an actual manual of the program, instead of a book of tricks

We think it's pretty amazing and is currently only offered with a Pro Dada Subscription and with our own installation services

We've put nine whole sample chapters up that detail the Basic, Advanced and Semi-Automatic Installation Methods of Dada Mail, as well as Configuring Dada Mail for the SQL Backend and Upgrading Dada Mail Start reading them at:

http://dadamailproject com/installation

: Profiles and Subscriber-Editable Fields

The largest feature changes you'll find is the addition of Subscriber Profiles that allow Subscribers to edit their own subscriber information, including their subscriber fields These new advancements are apart of the Dada Mail fundraiser that we just finished up

Here's some information on the changes to expect from this release:

:: What is Dada Mail?

Dada Mail is a completely contemporary, mature and intuitive web-based e-mail list management system, which runs on most any Unix-like hosting account that can run custom CGI scripts Dada Mail is also a conceptual art project

Dada Mail handles Closed-Loop Opt-in/Opt-out subscriptions, sending complex announce-only and/or discussion mailing list messages with an advanced, fault-tolerant mass mailing monitor, supports the archiving/viewing/searching/resending/syndicating (rss, atom) of sent messages and doing all this and a whole lot more with style

Dada Mail can handle custom subscriber fields and you can use the information it captures for partial list sending based on a query and Dada Mail's email templating system allows you to create targeted and completely custom email messages for each and every one one of your subscribers

Dada Mail is bundled with additional plugins and extensions to extend Dada Mail's capabilities Some of the plugins/extensions support advanced bounce handling, clickthrough tracking, mass mail scheduling, blog interfaces of archived messages, AJAX subscription form trickery and lots of other surprises

Dada Mail produces XHTML valid web content and sticks to best practices when creating email messages Write Once: Distribute Everywhere Dada Mail is free software that you're able to use, modify, share and enhance under the terms of the GNU General Public License Dada Mail is written in Perl because we love Perl
