Dada Bridge: "Allow Open Discussion List" option always viewable

For whatever reason, the, "Allow Open Discussion List" option wasn't viewable, until you first enabled discussion lists It will now always be viewable, as long as the Plugin Config Param, Allow_Open_Discussion_List is set to, 1

Dada Bridge: New Plugin Config Param: Check_Multiple_From_Addresses

A new Plugin Config Paramater called, Check_Multiple_From_Addresses has been added and has a default value of, 1 When enabled, messages that have more than one sender aren't supported by Dada Bridge and these messages will be ignored

Set this paramater to, 0 to revert to the previous behavior

Mail Sending - "broken pipe" catch removed

Dada Mail had a very simple test to make sure mail using the sendmail command was successful, by looking at any error messages created from sending mail this way If a, "broken pipe" message was found while sending a mass mailing, a mass mailing would be stopped, and would be picked up and sending would be attempted starting at the same address that gave the error The complete logged error may look like this:

    [Mon Jan  4 16:40:08 2010] mail
cgi: Pro Dada 4
0
1 Warning: 
    [Mon Jan  4 16:40:08 2010] mail
cgi:                          didn't close pipe to '|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -fbounces@example
com' while 
    [Mon Jan  4 16:40:08 2010] mail
cgi:                          attempting to send a message to: '"My Mailing List" <me@example
com> because:' Broken pipe at 

//DADA/MailingList/Schedules
pm line 808
    [Mon Jan  4 16:40:08 2010] mail
cgi: Broken Pipe error! returning -1 - Mass Mailing should be exit()ed! at 

//DADA/MailingList/Schedules
pm line 808
    [Mon Jan  4 16:40:08 2010] mail
cgi: [listshortname]  Mailout:<20100104164007
54315974@example
com> Bailing out of Mailing for now - last message was unable to be sent! exit()ing! at 

//DADA/MailingList/Schedules
pm line 808

This behavior is problematic, since the, "broken pipe" error can happen, even if a message (or part of a message) is actually sent Sometimes this happens if you have a message that contains a dot by itself on one line, like this:

If this is problematic to you (messages being cut off because of a lone dot on one line) and you're using the sendmail command to send messages, consider changing the $MAIL_SETTINGS and, $MASS_MAIL_SETTINGS Config variables to include the, -i flag, like this:

$MAIL_SETTINGS = "|$MAILPROG -t -i"; $MASS_MAIL_SETTINGS = "|$MAILPROG -t -i";
