In order for Dada Mail to run successfully, the following requirements need to be met:
If you haven't installed a custom CGI script on your hosting account before, double check that your hosting plan allows this. Most do.
Of all the major hosting companies, only Earthlink seems to not have a recent enough version of Perl. We do not know why.
Also, out of everyone we've ever installed on, iPower doesn't support the, fork()
Perl subroutine - or at least that's what their support says (and hey, who knows), so avoid them.
Linux, BSD, FreeBSD, OS X, etc. will work great;
We do not recommend running Dada Mail on any Windows Server and it probably won't run.
We suggest Mozilla.

There's a few shining stars in hosting companies that seem to work *really* well with Dada Mail and there's a few bad apples that are rule-breakers to the above.
Dada Mail is Free Software and is released under the Gnu

Dada Mail is written in Perl because we love Perl.
