Justin-

I used the instructions/movie and script to update a client from 4.5 to 4.6 and am offering congrats on a nice job.  It was painless, no glitches.

Hey everyone,

v4.6.0 Stable was released recently -

http://dadamailproject.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/dada_announce/20110807223527/

Since then, an infinite loop bug has been found in Dada Bridge:

https://github.com/justingit/dada-mail/issues/176

The bug happens when you name your list the same as the List Email - which isn't super out of the ordinary. But, what happens is that sometimes the, "From:" header looks to the mail server like you have a message with two email addresses in the To: header, so both messages go out to the list. Here's an example:

To: "List Owner For list@PROTECTED"

This message will go out to both, "list@PROTECTED" and, "justin@PROTECTED"

This seems more like a bug in the mail server (if you ask me), but it's something I'll safeguard against, in Dada Mail. It doesn't seem to affect everyone, but it does seem to affect people on cPanel-powered servers.


Also, there's another bug about the Tracker and how it's not displaying the graphs correctly when in IE-8. I need some confirmation about it:

https://github.com/justingit/dada-mail/issues/173

And maybe some help fixing it, as I don't have a Windows machine to test on,
