SOAP Examples for Subscribing Included Some SOAP proof of concept files have been included in, dada/extras/scripts/SOAP

They can be read at:

<http://dadamailproject

pod
html>

They include a server written in Perl and clients written in Perl and
php
 They are also documented in the Subscription Cookbook

They are, in fact, Proof of Concepts and are not complete applications

Plugin: mx_lookup cgi cleaned up The mx_lookup cgi plugin has been cleaned up and documentation added It's currently listed as, DEPRECATED, but will not go away, until the functionality it has is brought into the core of the program It's still a good example of how to make a simple Dada Mail plugin

Code Cleanup github user masktos (Mark Stosberg) was kind enough to refactor a ton code into Dada Mail, having to do with Modern Perl/Perl Best Practices coding Thanks, Mark! Some of the things he worked on include,

*   simplifying and optimizing URI encoding/decoding

*   changing foreach() to for()

*   Adding Params::Validate, FindBin to some Dada Mail API
    subroutine/methods
