Date: August 16th 2008
If you have your list configuration setup to use a database such as MySQL, you can use a query to make a copy of every record in the dada_settings table, substituting the existing list name with the new one on every record. Then you'll need to edit the two records that specify the short and long list names and that should do it (my Dada Mail Joomla component does this automatically). If you are using the default text files for your configuration, I am sure it is a similar process (maybe even easier) of copying some files, renaming them, and making a minor edit or two. I have not done the latter. But I don't believe there is an automated capability as such built-into the Dada Mail scripts.

Most of my email lists are all set up the same.  When setting up a new list, is there any way to clone a previous list and all its settings?  I am making the same changes over and over which makes me think there must be a simpler way.
