Thanks brother! I can't wait to test it out - you really helped me
out big time! I love dada and what to use all the features of it with my
existing scripts I'm good at incorporating my scripts into other scripts
but not ones that weren't written by me Still have to work on learning that Again, I appreciate it a lot!!

There's also the example script on sending a list message using Dada
Mail, by piping to a simple script called, "send_dada_mail pl" It's
in the alpha version of Dada Mail right now, but should work with
2 10 13/2 10 14 no problem You can grab it here:

http://mojomail
cvs
sourceforge
net/*checkout*/mojomail/ 

dada_mail_stable/dada/extensions/send_dada_mail pl? pathrev=dada_mail_2_11-features_branch

Here is the docs for it:

[docs] NAME send_dada_mail pl - a small extension that allows you to send a
mailing list message out from the command line

VERSION Refer to the version of Dada Mail you're using - NEVER use a
version of this proggy with an earlier or later version of Dada Mail

 Saying that, this extension is a work in progress, and probably  

breaks all over the place

USAGE This program is supposed to be used similar to how the sendmail
utility is to be used - although it's not (in no way, shape or form) a
sendmail command replacement No

 Anyways, you can use it via the command line by calling it up:

     prompt:] /home/account/cgi-bin/dada/extensions/ 

send_dada_mail pl --list mylist

 And type out your message:

  Subject: This is my subject!
  This is my message!
  -- Justin
  ^D

 The, message part of this should be a full on email message,  

headers and all As the above example shows, you can just place in the
headers you'd like to have and any missing fields will be filled in
intelligently for you One header I'd make sure to put in is the Subject: header

 Skip two new lines and start entering your actual message


 Like the sendmail command, it's real use is when you call it in  

another script In Perl, that would look like this:

  #!/usr/bin/perl
         open( DADA, "|/home/youraccount/cgi-bin/dada/extensions/ 

send_dada_mail pl --list mylist") or die $!; print DADA "Subject: This is my subject!\n\n"; print DADA "This is my message!\n\n"; print DADA "-- Justin"; close DADA or die $!;

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS As you'll notice from these examples, the, --list flag is being
passed, and the paramater is set to a valid list short name

 If this paramater is missing, or the list short name is not  

valid the script will exit with an "exit" status of, 1 and you won't be
sending anything

OPTIONS Currently, the only flag that's accepted is the --list flag

DIAGNOSTICS CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT You probably want to set the explict paths to your Dada Mail
libraries

 For example, if your Dada Mail installation is at:

  /home/account/cgi-bin/dada
 Your Dada Mail libraries would be at:

  /home/account/cgi-bin/dada
 and:

  /home/account/cgi-bin/dada/DADA/perllib
 The following lines on top of this script would be changed from:

 use lib qw(

 

/ 

/DADA 

/DADA/perllib

 );

 to:

 use lib qw(

 

/ 

/DADA 

/DADA/perllib

  /home/account/cgi-bin/dada
  /home/account/cgi-bin/dada/DADA/perllib
 );

DEPENDENCIES This script is currently being shipped in the 2 11 alpha
versions of Dada Mail, but there's no reason why it wouldn't work for the
2 10 14 releases of Dada Mail either

CAVEATS Currently, there's not much security in this script - only the
check for a valid list short name Normally, you'd have to either log into
the List Control Panel to send a message out, which requires a
password, or, use the dada_bridge pl plugin, which has it's own slew of checks

 Because of that, I'd only use this script where you're mighty  

sure that abuse will not happen (ha ) Abuse of this extension is quite
possible and very easy, as you're giving the option of any program to
send to any Dada Mail-administrated list as much as it would like You see
where I'm going here with this OK? Ok

 Future versions will most likely have some semblance of security  

and feedback (general) about this extension is more than welcome
