This release also has some pleasant bug-fixes We couldn't have done it without your feedback

Dada Mail Change Log for version 4 0 3

Unicode/UTF-8 Work

We have worked very, very hard to get Dada Mail working with UTF-8/Unicode

We think we did a pretty good job and you'll have a most amazing experience when comparing this version to any previous version of Dada Mail (ever), but there may be tiny things still to work out

We need to know about them, don't be shy!

SQL table schema changes!

People who upgrade to 4 0 3 (and any version afterwards, until things change!) should note that the MySQL and PostgreSQL Table Schemas have changed!

You may need to update your own tables, to support UTF-8 (if they aren't already in that encoding)

See Also:

If you're upgrading, please read over the updated UTF-8/Unicode FAQ:

http://dadamailproject com/support/documentation/features-UTF-8 pod html

If you're doing a new install, there's nothing you need to know, Dada Mail should work well out of the box in re: to UTF-8/Unicode stuff

Changes to Default List Settings We've changed a few of the default list settings, hopefully so that everyone has a more pleasant experience, right off the bat:

Activate Black List

We've enabled the setting to active the Black List, by default

We're also enabling the below settings:

• Move Unsubscribed Subscribers Automatically to the Black List

• Continue to Allow Subscriptions From Subscribers of Black Listed Addresses

You still have the option to change new lists to the previous behavior and already created lists will have their previous behavior, if Black List Settings have already been edited

Print List-Specific Headers option Removed

The option, Print List-Specific Headers has been removed from, Mail Sending -Advanced Sending Preferences has been removed, but the functionality has not All mailing list messages will have these headers

Send Unsubscription Confirmation Emails (Closed-Loop Opt-Out) - disabled by default

Send Unsubscription Confirmation Emails (Closed-Loop Opt-Out) has been disabled by default (you can still enable it)

This option, when enabled, requires that when someone wants to unsubscribe, they have to confirm this unsubscription by clicking on the unsubscription confirmation link in a URL sent their subscribed address

When disabled (the new default), they simply have to fill out the subscribe/unsubscribe form

Subscription and Unsubscription links now include an Email Address

When available, both the Subscription and Unsubscription links will have the potential subscriber's (or unsubscriber's) email address in the link itself, so that the user does not have to do the two-step of first following the link and then typing in their email address

These links are created per-subscriber (or potential sub/unsub), when you use the:

https://dadamailproject com/cgi-bin/dada/mail cgi/s/dada_announce/example/example com/

or,

https://dadamailproject com/cgi-bin/dada/mail cgi/u/dada_announce/example/example com/

tags Previously, these tags only provided a link to the subscription/unsubscription form, without the email address embedded within the link itself There is no way to revert this behaviour, but you can still roll your own links, like this:

Subscription Link:

/s/

Unsubscription Link:

/u/

Unsubscription Links Now Mandatory for Mass Mailing Messages Dada Mail will now do a quick check to make sure that there is a Dada Mail Unsubscription link in your mass mailing messages, before sending them out

If one is not found, one will be automatically appended to the end of your message

It will not be very fancy

We suggest that you make sure that you have a real, valid, Dada Mail unsubscription link in your Mailing List Messages
