v4 6 0 rc1 is out This is basically a soft release of the 4 6 0 stable version of Dada Mail If anything looks wrong, I need to know I've rewritten the changelog to be a little more clearer on the changes (it's below)

There's also a Pro Dada version of this rc:

And the Dada Mail Manual has been updated/cleaned up/added to for this version I'm embarrassed at how much it was in disrepair Just so many facets to this project! Clicking on the help links in the list control panel will get you to the relevant chapter If ANY screen in the list control panel is missing a chapter, please please please let me know

I have to redo the screencasts for installing and upgrading Dada Mail, it's different enough to warrant that

Any other requests for screencasts?

Summary 4 6 0

v4 6 0 includes experimental subprojects, like Amazon SES support and unsubscribe tag/link flexibility, as well as updates and refinements to the default mailing list message templates, social bookmarking links, forward to a friend functionality, as well as a new plugin called, Mailing Monitor

Features 4 6 0

Amazon SES Mail Sending Support

Amazon SES allows you to send email messages with Dada Mail using the Amazon SES Web Service This service could potentially allow someone running a website with a small mailing quota send out mass mailings to a very large list, utilizing Amazon's services

This feature is currently labeled, Experimental We need feedback We want to make the feature better Give us feedback!

Forward to a Friend

It's now possible to place a, "Forward to a Friend" link into your mailing list messages

The Forward to a Friend form is available to both subscribers as well as visitors to your mailing list archives

Unsubscribe Tag/Link Flexibility

You can now change the behavior of what Dada Mail does, after a user clicks the Unsubscriber Link

The unsubscription request can either be automatically processed, or you may have the subscriber submit a unsubscription form The second option is hoped to thwart absent-minded clicks, as well as auto link prefetching

This feature is currently labeled, Experimental We need feedback We want to make the feature better Give us feedback!

New Plugin: Mailing Monitor

The, Mailing Monitor plugin replaces the, auto_pickup pl extension

Compared to the old extension, the Mailing Monitor plugin has a nicer list control panel interface and much more simplified instructions

The auto_pickup pl extension will still be shipped with Dada Mail, but will simply be a redirect to this new plugin
