Hurrah! Mail Forward piping works!
Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the test emails While I've been working on v6 of Dada Mail, my host updated their servers and my hosting account, which gave some interesting new features available
One of those features was the ability to create a mail forward, that pipes directly to a program, which I can take advantage of, in Dada Mail, and more specifically, in Bridge If you're using cPanel, see if this is available to you, this basically goes through what it takes to uncover it:
http://docs
cpanel
net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/CpanelDocs/EmailFowarders#Using_the_Pipe_to_Program_Option
If you use this plugin, you'll know that there's this lag between mail that's sent from your subscribers, and mail being checked by Bridge, as it's usually on a cronjob, and if you're like me, you have that cronjob set somewhere around once, every 5 minutes So, there's 5 minutes between when you send out your message, and when it gets delivered
By setting up Bridge to instead use a mail forward, messages will get checked as soon as they're delivered and that lag completely goes away
This used to be How It Was Done, way back in the day, when Bridge was called, "dada_send pl" There was this major problem of incoming mail causing an infinite loop, if there was anything wrong with the message, or the plugin I'm hoping to $Deity that that's not the case anymore My testing so far shows that if there's any problems, the mail just bounces back Which is wonderful
Anyways, something to look forward if/when I ever get this release finished,
