Not sure what you mean by this.  I have tried to get some infomration by posting questions in different parts of the board because I >>don't<< post to dozens of groups.  I post to this one, out of necessity, in order to try to get a piece of freeware working.  If you are upset because I don't follow the etiquette you have internally developed to deal with all of your message boards, or you deal with polished pearls, that's unfortunate.

I am not placing a rule on anybody Justin, it is just common sense. I
subscribe to over twenty mailing lists and can testify that on many of
them, top-posters are routinely 'flamed' or just ignored. It it really
hard to follow a thread that is answered by more than one individual if
they all start posting anywhere they want. Top posting causes the whole
process to go back in time making comprehending the who thread a rather
unsavory chore.

Anyway, enough of that.

The error that you listed above is rather unique I know. I have not had
any success in tracking it down. One of my cohorts claims that your
program reads in the entire config file in one gulp, hence every error
always lists line 1. He recommended correcting that, although
he did not give me any specific instructions on how to do it.

I was also advised that perhaps you should contact the Perl developers
directly and see what they have to say. Perhaps, it is a bug of some
type in Perl. Out of curiosity, have you gone that route?

For the record, the only reason I posted that list of error messages was
because I had updated my system, and previously had never seen an error
about a variable not staying shared previously in any DADA error log,
httpd-error.log or anywhere else in regards to DADA. I just thought you
might be interested in it since I assume I am running newer; i.e., more
up to date software that many of your other subscribers, as well as you
yourself possibly.

In addition, I posted something on your web forum page regarding MySQL.
I will reprint it here if you would prefer to answer it in this arena
instead.

Justin, I am going to be setting up DADA for a customer of mine, and I
have a few quick questions.

This setup will be using a MySQL backend. I will be creating the tables
using phpMyAdmin I believe.

1) Other than where you have specifically specified it, does it make
any difference if the values are 'null' or 'not null'?

2) For the collation, I usually set the value at:
utf8_unicode_ci
but I could use virtually anything else, such as
latin1_general_ci
ascii_general_ci
or anything else that might seem appropriate. Does it make any
difference to DADA Mail what it is set to?

3) You have the following entry:
id/G/GD/GDR/HTML-FromText-1.005.tar.gz in the
/dada/extras/documentation/html_version/DadaMail.pm.html file. What is
it referring to?

And God said, "Let there be light. "But then the program crashed because
he was trying to access the 'light' property of a NULL universe pointer.
