Re: add "sender" in email header

 
From: "Thu Pham" <thu.w.pham@PROTECTED>

dadamail is really good. but i think it may get better.

my wishlist:
1.add verp sender in email header, like:
Sender: "xxx" <xxx=qq.com@PROTECTED>

windows live email header:

X-SID-PRA: xxx=qq.com@PROTECTED
X-SID-Result: Pass

2.add abuse email/link in header;
3.add unsubscribe email in header; i know there is a unsubscribe link in header, but gmail also suggest an subsubscribe email in header. like this:

Below is from gmail support:

Because Gmail can help users automatically unsubscribe from your email, we strongly recommend the following:

  • Provide a 'List-Unsubscribe' header which points to an email address where the user can unsubscribe easily from future mailings (Note: This is not a substitute method for unsubscribing).

thank you.

The error FAQ does explain how to retrieve the actual error for debugging:

I'm also surprised that Dada Mail doesn't set a Sender: header, it is so important, but again, I'd like to fully understand what it's used for - and maybe figure out if I made the conscious decision to NOT have it set.
