Pretty much our sole use of Dada Mail is through Scheduled Mailings, so if that plugin were to get a little bit of attention, it would be helpful If nothing else, please move or add the link from the mailing configuration page back to the schedule index page

Wait, what's going on?

Process when I need to stop a mailing (holiday, university break) is to go to the Scheduled Mailing screen, click on the active schedule link to get to the mailing configuration page, uncheck the "Active" box, scroll to the BOTTOM of a long screen, click "Save Schedule" to deactivate that mailing, then scroll to the BOTTOM of the screen when it reappears to click on the "return to index" link Moving or adding the buttons and link near the top of the screen would just streamline the process a bit

OK - there is a live link in the red header; clicking, "Beatitude" will bring you back to the index

I guess the way we use Dada Mail is outside the norm This plug-in is only available to the root admin and is used 99% of the time to unsubscribe people from (a) list Because of the way our mail administrators operate, I can't request a POP email address so I can use the bounce handler So when the bounce messages come to the list administrator address, I use the multi-admin_subscribers function to search for the offending address, then drop it from whichever list Because we are sending four mailings every day and because the bounce messages don't always indicate which message bounced, this plug-in is quite useful I log into one list, fire up the plug-in, and can easily find what list an email address is on

I could def see reinstating this plugin just for, "unsubscribing" addresses, since there's no way to turn off removal of people on a list, and yeah - I def see that utility

I guess we fall into that 1% that such a set-up won't work We use the scheduled mailing feature to send web pages every weekday, to four different lists If the "schedule" tab covers this, fine, but otherwise we're sunk

Well, goes to show what I know, then ;) I don't know how recurring schedules will tie into all this, as I fear dynamic content is going to confuse your average user That may be the niche the Beatitude continues to serve
