I know there is some interest in getting Dada Mail talking to programs outside of itself, written in other languages other than Perl and even with things outside of where the copy of Dada Mail is installed. Well, that's done with something like SOAP. Below is the README file of the distro, which you can grab here: http://dadamailproject.com/code/DadaMail_SOAP_example.tar.gz Comments welcomed. SOAP Web Services for Dada Mail This distribution includes: * a CGI SOAP server, written in Perl that ties into the Dada Mail API. * a SOAP client written in Perl * a SOAP client, written in php Currently the SOAP API only provides *one* method, called, "subscription_check". You can read more about this method in the API docs: http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-3_0_0/MailingList_Subscribers.pm.html#subscription_check as well as the Subscription COOKBOOK: http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-dada-3_0_0/COOKBOOK-subscriptions.pod.html The SOAP interface allows programs written in languages other than Perl and/or located on a separate system to interact with Dada Mail. This type of web service could theoretically work with most any of Dada Mail's high level functions: Validating Subscriptions, Subscribing Mailing List Subscribers (either one by one, or en-mass), Sending Messages, working with archived messages, etc. *This* small set of scripts is only to be as an example to show that it is entirely possible. Requirements The Perl server and the Perl client requires the SOAP::Lite CPAN distro: http://www.soaplite.com/ http://search.cpan.org/~mkutter/SOAP-Lite-0.710.08/ The php client requires the PEAR SOAP distro: http://pear.php.net/package/SOAP You will also need a running copy of Dada Mail 3.0 Installation Place both the soap_server.cgi and soap_client.cgi into the, "dada" directory of your working Dada Mail installation. Change the permissions of both to, "755". Place the soap_client..php file somewhere on your website, however you php folks do it. Configuration Both the, soap_client.php and soap_client.cgi scripts have *three* variables you may have to change: * $proxy This should hold the URL to the soap_server.cgi script * $email This should hold an email address you'd like to validate * $list This should hold a Dada Mail list shortname you'd like to validate against Running The soap_client.cgi and soap_client.php scripts can be run simply by visiting them in a webserver. Doing so will print a simple report, like so: * Email: user@PROTECTED * List: mylist Subscription Check: 0 Errors: * Error: already_sent_sub_confirmation * Error: subscribed done. And, that's it. The Future of SOAP Web Services in Dada Mail It would be great to have some sort of Web Service available for Dada Mail. It will have to depend on user and developer interest in accomplishing this.
