We're really excited to introduce the next Major Release of Dada Mail:

We've written a small introduction about the new features you'll find in Dada Mail 4 here:

http://dadamailproject
com/features/4_0/

This Major Release of Dada Mail has one huge feature that we're introducing:

: Profiles

Profiles allow you to give power to your subscribers, allowing them to update their own information, update their subscriptions and allow them to easily know exactly which lists their subscribed to It also makes it easier for your subscribers to interact with every other mailing list managed by Dada Mail It's really simple and it's really great

We think it's pretty cool

Dada Mail 4 will introduce a whole lot more, including Multiple List Sending (another Big feature), a Subscription Approval System, Better UTF-8 Support - even Twitter Support! As well as, CKeditor 3 0 support, Subscriber Profile Field Labels, Reorder-able Fields,Clone List Settings on List Creation, Remove All Subscribers at Once, prototype js/Scriptalicious UI enhancements and whole lot more Even with all these changes, Dada Mail is still the Dada Mail we hope you all know and love

If you're thinking of upgrading, we've also written a little introduction on what to expect, when upgrading from 3 x to 4 x:

:: What is Dada Mail?

Dada Mail is a completely contemporary, mature and intuitive web-based e-mail list management system, which runs on most any Unix-like hosting account that can run custom CGI scripts Dada Mail is also a conceptual art project

Dada Mail handles Closed-Loop Opt-in/Opt-out subscriptions, sending complex announce-only and/or discussion mailing list messages with an advanced, fault-tolerant mass mailing monitor, supports the archiving/viewing/searching/resending/syndicating (rss, atom) of sent messages and doing all this and a whole lot more with style

Dada Mail can handle custom subscriber fields and you can use the information it captures for partial list sending based on a query and Dada Mail's email templating system allows you to create targeted and completely custom email messages for each and every one one of your subscribers

Dada Mail is bundled with additional plugins and extensions to extend Dada Mail's capabilities Some of the plugins/extensions support advanced bounce handling, clickthrough tracking, mass mail scheduling, blog interfaces of archived messages, AJAX subscription form trickery and lots of other surprises

Dada Mail produces XHTML valid web content and sticks to best practices when creating email messages Write Once: Distribute Everywhere Dada Mail is free software that you're able to use, modify, share and enhance under the terms of the GNU General Public License Dada Mail is written in Perl because we love Perl
