RE: Large Memory Leak found and Further Optimizations, comparisons w/2.10.16 (for fun)

These templating improvements won't affect sending straight HTML without templates, right? I send with my own message composed entirely outside of Dada (except for the appended signature that Dada adds)

I'm wondering if the memory leak is what was causing so many of my mailings to the non-profit's discussion list to get stuck, since the biggest problems seemed to be for mailings that had attachments Which brings me to

If someone sends an attachment to the list that is too large, the message is simply not put through Shouldn't there be a rejection notice sent that the attachment was too large so the sender knows what happened? Or was one sent and she just didn't get it? (ver 4 7 2)

Warm regards,

Mary Ann

During my optimization pass, I found a massive memory leak that happens during a mass mailing of an HTML message The mass mailing process potentially starts eating up many hundreds of megs of memory, which could potentially start slowing things way, way down, or even get your sending process killed This underlying problem could be the culprit of a lot of mysterious sending problems with Dada Mail I've been able to remove the problem with the development stuff I've been doing and was also able to backport the bug, so it'll be available in v4 8 4 of Dada Mail which I can release very soon, instead of everyone having to wait until v4 9 0 of Dada Mail, which isn't very ready for prime time

Optimization work is going very well, with around 5x performance increase, which is massively huge Really
