If it was, it'd fall into the, "anyone can now click this button, to unsubscribe someone other than themselves", unfortunately. So the workflow would be: message received -> message forwarded -> forwarded person clicks the unsub link -> unsubs original recipient, with click, 'o a button. ...Continue Reading

Justin,That sounds good to me.  Unsubscription has always been one of the things that my lists have trouble with:Several people kept emailing me claiming that they "never got" the unsubscribe confirmation email, even though they got every single other message that the system sent and even though I could not reproduce the problem.  I highly doubt that it was a bug in the software, because these were all people who had trouble following even the simplest directions for anything. A few people had some ...Continue Reading

Will the email address need to be entered manually on the unsub screen? Can't it be filled in automatically?

Hello Everyone, To have Dada Mail work better with what's laid out in the CAN SPAM law, I'm yet again changing the way Unsubscribes work. I'm a little worried, as it seems Dada Mail's current default system: sending an unsub confirmation, is against the guidelines the law lays out! It basically wants this: > "(1) an e-mail recipient cannot be required to pay a fee, provide information other than his or her e-mail address and opt-out preferences, or take any steps other than sending a reply e-mail message or ...Continue Reading

I've been working (commissioned) on enhancing the partial list sending feature in Dada Mail. I've recently added the ability to search for more than one thing, per field, as well as search by "Not Equal To" and, "Not Like". So for my contrived example: http://dadamailproject.com/images/dev/partial_sending.jpg this is a search where: The First Name is not equal to, "Justin" The City is equal to, "Washington" And the Favorite Color is not red or yellow. So, hopefully that' ...Continue Reading

AJ noticed that if you set the charset something different on the table, it'll turn the table from case sensitive to case insensitive, a few back: On Mar 24, 2013, at 1:40 PM, AJ wrote: > > I was experimenting with profile fields and partial list sending and noticed that the search was case sensitive. I looked at the schema sql and the table is explicitly created with the utf8_bin collation. Why not set it as utf8_general_ci? You could give that a shot. The table you want to play around with is "dada_p ...Continue Reading

Justin, you are right. It does, indeed, search the subscriber fields, but it is case-dependent. I was searching for "carl" and it wasn't finding me. I'm not sure I would ever need case to be considered in searches. Is there an easy modification I can apply to make it case independent?

It should def. still search both email address, and all profile fields. One quirk is that it's going to be a case sensitive search, so, "Lastname" is going to return different results than, "lastname" ...Continue Reading
