Surprisingly, I've finished up the reporting part of this feature - that was sort of awesome. The hardest part was actually the math involved to put this together: I'd like to report the following information in the same pie chart: Delivered Soft Bounces Hard Bounces Sending Errors These will all be percentages. Currently, "Delivered" is now: Total Recipients - Soft Bounces - Hard Bounces - Sending Errors So, when I calculate things like, "Unique Opens", (and its percentage) it'll be from w ...Continue Reading

I got a little sidetracked with the, "Save as Draft" feature this weekend, as someone pointed out to me that Dada Mail, if it has a failure with sending out a message, basically does so pretty silently - there may be an error in the error log, but there's no real *reporting* on it" how many addresses failed? Which ones? So, I put in place a simple system that checks to see if a sending was successful (no errors, basically), if there is an error, it'll try two more times with the same address, after gi ...Continue Reading

Excellent. Something left over from old days is fine. Assuming I can make it work, the list shortname will only have letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores. No other funcky characters. > That's a pretty n ...Continue Reading

Justin,No need to be sorry - we all get spam from plenty of other sources.  The only worry I have about when these types of messages get through is that if someone clicks "Report Spam", the email provider treats the entire email list as spam instead of just messages from that one address. For a long time, you had this list set to moderated to deal with exactly these types of messages.  I notice that it is no longer so (I didn't keep track of exactly when, but I think it's been unmoderated for arou ...Continue Reading

I'm sorry for the intrusion from this person on the list. He's sells a spamming tool for Twitter, and has been trying to scam me for purchases of Pro Dada, without paying. He will not leave me alone. He constantly tries to contact me in every way you could imagine (except twitter, hmm!) and I have repeatedly told him I do not want to do business with him, to not contact me, and to not purchase my app. ...Continue Reading

I think the list short name character limitation has part of its constraints because of historical reasons. It's possible some URLs will break if you add funky characters to the mix, but that could be easily fixed once problems are spotted. The other part is, as it stands, you'll run into problems in the SQL table, just because of the schema they're created as. For example: CREATE TABLE IF NOT ...Continue Reading
