New Features

FAQ Added - Email Sending

See:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-2_10_16/FAQ-email_sending.pod.html

SMTP Engine moved from Net::SMTP to Net::SMTP_auth

Net::SMTP_auth allows us to choose which exact SASL authentication method to use, Net::SMTP would just try to make a best guess.

Note that we are shipping with a module called, Net::SMTP_auth_SSL that allows the same functionality over an SSL/TSL connection. This is not a CPAN module, but a tweak of Net::SMTP_auth to use SSL connections.

CAPTCHA enabled for, ``Send Archive to a Friend'' Feature

Marked at Experimental.

CAPTCHA Config.pm variables changed

By default, the CAPTCH stuff uses a True Type font called, ``StayPutt.tff'' that's included with Dada Mail. This should make much better CAPTCHA images than the default GD fonts

Manage Subscribers : Add has File Upload Status Bar Widget for File Uploads

The process of uploading a file and processing a file has now been split. This may help with large lists amd timeout problems.

dada_bridge.pl - easier crontab setting

It's no longer necessary to have to set the crontab to run dada_bridge.pl as a command line script, you can simply now set a URL for the crontab to visit. This also means you do not have to tweak the environment that dada_bridge.pl runs in, to run correctly as a cronjob.

See:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-2_10_16/dada_bridge.pl.html#setting_the_cronjob_the__easy_way

New Extension: AJAXed Subscription Form

See:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-2_10_16/ajax_include_subscribe.cgi.html

Test Suite Available

The Dada Mail test suite is available to use in the regular distribution. It can be run using the, prove command or the included web-based Dada Mail extension. More information:

Feature: Sending Monitor

Mailing List Messages can now be monitored via the list control panel in great detail.

Note: The addition of this feature has also come with the removal of other features that this feature intends to replace (and do so, in a much better way). If you are looking for these features, note that they have been removed:

Send via the Mail::Bulkmail SMTP engine - removed

Do note that SMTP Sending is still, 100% supported, just that Dada Mail has moved to using the Net::SMTP SMTP engine. Along with a simpler interface, secure, encrypted SMTP connections are now supported, as well as various new authentication schemes.

Batch Completed email messages - removed

exactly

Restart a mailing at a particular address/# of emails - removed

Batch Settings options tweaked

More information on this feature can be found at the following places:

There are MANY changes between this version and the 2.10 series. Please see:

    http://dadamailproject.com/features/2_11_dev/index.html
    
for details of the new features.

See the, ``NOTES'' for various things concerning this specific version of Dada Mail.

Being a alpha release, there are known bugs and some unknown bugs. If you do use this version, makes sure to understand that it will be a rocky way.

2.10.10

SECURITY

[ 1540234 ] 2.10.9 - no XSS filter in cpanel mass add/dl subscribers

Something as simple as:

 <script>alert('foo')</script>

When submitted in either the, ``add'' or, ``remove'' email subscribers will show the Javascript alert box.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1540234&group_id=13002&atid=113002

1535133 2.10.9 - Admin Login Available Anywhere

which also means, you can attempt to automate logging in,

as in a robot trying various logins.

The fix has been to employ an, ``auth_id'' hash that's saved in Dada Mail's list files. Dada Mail will make this hash, when it shows any type of login form. If this auth_id is missing or incorrect, Dada Mail will not allow logging in of a list.

See also the, $DISABLE_LIST_LOGINS Config.pm variable.

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-2_10_16/Config.pm.html#_disable_outside_logins

Currently, this feature is disabled by default.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1535133&group_id=13002&atid=113002

1535132 2.10.9 - admin screens easy to hide, but also easy to guess

http://example.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/admin

The fix has been to allow you to change the query string - in this case, admin to basically whatever you want, given some constraints. See the documentation for the $ADMIN_FLAVOR_NAME and, $SIGN_IN_FLAVOR_NAME Config.pm variables:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-2_10_16/Config.pm.html#_admin_flavor_name

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-2_10_16/Config.pm.html#_sign_in_flavor_name

1530736 2.10.9 - ``You're Already Subscribed!'' msg divulges too much!

Currently, the fix is to allow you to just email them the, ``you are already subscribed'' message, instead of showing this information in the web browser. The program will act just as if no problem with a subscription request has happened - this includes any errors it may return, in any sort of format.

This fix is currently disabled, but can be enabled in the Manage List -> Mailing List Options screen.

1530171 2.10.9 - if list password = root password, list pass...

This is a problem, because it could be unbeknowest to the list password haver, that they have credentials that could unluck more stuff than they should have!

The fix is to have the list password, when set to the same as the root password, act as if it's the list password only. More information, List and Dada Mail Root Passwords -

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-2_10_16/NOTES.pod.html#list_and_dada_mail_root_passwords

1530149 2.10.9 -On List Creation List Pass can be set to root pass

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1540194&group_id=13002&atid=113002

ADMINISTRATION/LOGINS/SESSIONS

[ 1539659 ] 2.10.9 - list login form lists other link even when...

Now, the ``Other...'' link will only show *if* there's another list to log into.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1539659&group_id=13002&atid=113002

1533596 2.10.9 - Can't call method ``param'' on an undefined value

[Wed Aug 2 19:23:06 2006] mail.cgi: Can't call method ``param'' on an undefined value at /DADA/App/Session.pm line 261. [Wed Aug 2 19:27:45 2006] mail.cgi: Can't call method ``param'' on an undefined value at /DADA/App/Session.pm line 128.

The reason is unclear for me.

WORKAROUND

* Install a server-wide version of CGI::Session

* Set the $SESSION_DB_TYPE to, ``Classic'' (please see the warning in, KNOWN ISSUES, under, CGI::Session Problems

This is because the, ``-Function'' isn't set in the $ADMIN_MENU variable in the Config.pm file.

1526805 2.10.9 - session information not removed on failed login

There's also a minor security issue here, as the sessions do have a copy of the password, encrypted of course, but still, these file should not stick around.

1531985 2.10.9 - sub form on list page could be more usable when....

If so, the subscription form only has the ``Unsubscribe'' radio button, but it's unchecked, meaning, if you try to unsubscribe to the list, w/o checking this button, you'll fail. That's stupid - it should probably be checked by default.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1531985&group_id=13002&atid=113002

1530017 2.10.9 - Default email msgs and html scrns hard to default...

They should be explicitly set in the $DEFAULT_LIST_SETTINGS Config.pm variable, just like all the rest of the default settings - perhaps the text itself could be saved in an outside variable, as it's done now, so you if you were tweaking these before, it should work a similar way.

(basically is the workaround)

When I click on that option, there are unchecked options, for example:

Manage List|Delete this list Manage Subscribers|Options Customize Feature Set

Being unchecked I would assume that means they would not be operational or displayed? Howver, they are both displayed and operational.

1523529 2.10.9 - bounce handler sending unsub email notices before...

The, ``number of subscribers'' notice in the email is off by exactly the number of addresses the bounce handler has supposively unsubscribed.

1521008 2.10.9 - setting passwords in %LIST_SETUP_DEFAULTS...

Attempting to override this, either in the Config.pm or in an outside config file (.dada_config), will lead to unexpected results.

This is neither documented, or discourgaged, or whatever.

I propose the behavior be that placing a password in any of these locations automagically encrypts the password transparently, so the program Does What You Tell It, and a warning is placed stating the dangers of placing such a password in there.

That shoud do it.

1520960 2.10.9 - `` Welcome to Pro Dada'' sometimes has wrong URL...

Click here for more information.

This happens if you don't set the, ``$PROGRAM_URL'' or, ``$S_PROGRAM_URL'', but try to access Dada Mail.

If this information is lacking, it tries to use CGI.pm's url() method. Sometimes this fails.

You *may* be able to also use the environmental variable,

$ENV{SCRIPT_URI}

and then, if that's blank, use the CGI->url() method.

For some reason, when it tries to remove all the separate files, some get left behind?

Solution seems to be to feed unlink a list of files to remove, instead of calling unlink again and again.

Probably more efficient, too.

2.10.9

Changes/New Features

(Note: there was an introduction of a white list feature in the alpha versions of 2.10.9 - this has since been removed from 2.10.9 stable.)

Note: yet again! There was integration of some sorts of SpamAssassin into the dada_bridge.pl plugin in the alpha versions. This also has been removed for 2.10.9 stable

Discussion List Enhancements:

Minor organization housekeeping of the dada_bridge.pl admin control panel screen - nothing revolutionary.
New Option! ``Set the To: header of discussion list messages to the List Address, rather than the subscribers address. ''

This option currently is only available if you use either the sendmail command, or the Net::SMTP SMTP engine - this leaves out the Mail::Bulkmail SMTP engine, which I haven't yet figured out how to hack to make it work well with this option.

Session support now includes MySQL, Postgres, and Berkeley DB File formats

Sessions

See the, $SESSION_DB Config.pm variable; valid values are:

PlainText
MySQL
PostgreSQL
Db

New SMTP Engine Option: Net::SMTP/Net::SMTP::SSL

More information on how to use this and the differences between the two versions is located in the General FAQ:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-2_10_16/faq.pod.html#what_s_the_differences_between_the_two_smtp_engines

Mystery Girl (bounce handler) enhancements: points-based system

Each type of bounce has a score associated with it and there's a threshold that needs to be hit to have an email address get unsubscribed. Basically, multiple bounces will unsubscribe an email address, instead of just one, ``hard'' bounce.

More information on this feature is located in the Mystery Girl docs:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-2_10_16/dada_bounce_handler.pl.html

Changes/New Features

List Settings SQL Backend -

Pretty easy to set up, create the table located in dada/extras/SQL/dada_settings.sql - which is:


 CREATE TABLE dada_settings (
 list                             text,
 setting                          text,
 value                            text 
 );

and set the, $SETTINGS_DB_TYPE to MySQL, or Postgres

DB FIle to *SQL migration isn't too hard, see the script, dada_settings_dbtosql.pl in the dada/extras/scripts directory,

Whose instructions are:

Name dada_settings_dbtosql.pl Description Cute name, huh?

    Basically, this small script takes the information of a Dada Mail list
    settings in the DB File and ports it to the MySQL format.

    Fairly simple and straightforward.

How to use this script * Backup Everything SQL tables, list files (all of them)

    * Create the List Settings SQL table
        The SQL statement to run should be saved in a file called
        *dada_settings.sql* which is located in the *dada/extras/SQL*
        directory of the distribution

    * Set $SETTINGS_DB_TYPE to the correct SQL type (MySQL, Postgres)
        Directions are located in the Config.pm about this, search for,
        *$SETTINGS_DB_TYPE*

    * Fill in %SQL_PARAMS in the Config.pm file
        Again, directions should be supplied in the Config.pm file.

    After the above (do not skip a step) are done, make sure Dada Mail is
    still running by visiting it in your webbrowser. The program should run
    as if no lists existed - not to worry! We shall fix that soon enough.

    Upload this script into the same directory that you have the *mail.cgi*
    script in, and run it, either from your web browser, or via the command
    line.

    That should be it.

    ps. backup everything.

Archive Editor plugin has been removed

Archived Messages Search speed vastly improved for SQL backend.
Archived Messages Search results can now be cached (set $SCREEN_CACHE to, ``1''
Added option in dada_bridge.pl not NOT have the [list] or, [list name] viewable in archived messages
The admin crontrol panel HTML screens to search email addresses has been templated out.
Added the remote host/ip address to the screen when you want a new password for a list emailed to you - this may help scare the little script


=item * Option to add Subscription form in rss/atom feed entries. (enabled by default)

Dada Mail Root Password template templated out.
Send newest archived message to a new subscriber
