Yes, it's been near impossible for me to help you on this I've
tried I don't really want to anymore

Does DADA use a similar syntax in its operation? I would really
like to help you solve this problem since it appears that I am not the only
one suffering from it

It's called the pop3 protocol

I can give you access to my server if need be so that you can experiment Just do not break anything :

At the moment, I'm not very interested, but thanks for the offer

Hello Justin,

I posted an excerpt of this on the DADA forum, but I think it is
better handled here

First of all, you are aware that I was having a problem with the Discussion portion of DADA sending emails that were bouncing due to improper formatting I fixed that problem by having the program that sends the program for the dada_bridge pl to handle with encoding
set to none The message is sent as raw text DADA does not seem to add any encoding to the message or indicate anything in the email headers; however, the messages have stopped bouncing, so that is a good thing Why it was happening in the first place is something we still have to determine

The bad news is the DADA is not deleting the messages off the
server I used the "-check_deletions" flag, but to no avail

I am wondering how DADA goes about deleting messages of the server I use QPOPPER on my system I set up my regular MUA to download the message and subsequently delete it off the server this morning after DADA had failed to do so I turned on the logging function in the program so that I could see what was happening; this is the output of that successful download and message deletion

Justin, I know you are busy, or what ever, so I have enlisted the help of a friend who is willing to work with me on this problem

He wants to know if there is an mechanism built into DADA that would log the entire "POP" operation that dada_bridge pl performs? I do not believe that the SMTP logging would be appropriate for this

If not, I will contact the FreeBSD forum, or perhaps Perl Monks to see if they can suggest a logging mechanism Obviously, the answer to this problem lies in how DADA is attempting to delete the messages off of the server Since it appears to work sporadically with different servers, the answer lies in how DADA is implementing the procedure At least, that was what I was told

Thanks!
