I was asked today to see if I could have emails also sent to cell phones as text messages. A perfectly reasonable request since we all live by our cell phones. I know that I can send an email to my cell phone by appending the cell phone carrier's text messaging email domain to my phone number. For example, if I send an email to the address 18005551212@PROTECTED it will be delivered by Verizon as a text message to the phone. Every carrier has their own text message domain. Here is a partial list:   Allte ...Continue Reading

I saw some of it when it came through and just read the whole thing from the link.  Sorry, my mind was wandering last night when I was thinking about how I'd do it in php if I had to and I sent it through thinking it might be helpful.  Looking over the module you described, it looks like a very similar concept, just a different programming language.

Ooops, this is to clarify.  Changed the word to COMPILED and written to files.  These weren't actually sent.  I don't know the send through the server times, but will test again tonight when I send out the weekly piece. Additionally, ran another test... Also tried a small file, using 3.04 18kb, small msg html and text 3917 of 28624 messages compiled in: 6 minutes, 26 seconds Average Sending Rate: 36,532 messages/hour 610.87 msgs/minute Same msg using 4.03 1064 of 28649 messages compiled i ...Continue Reading

You missed the whole spiel I did on getting something similar to this into Dada Mail? http://dadamailproject.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/dadadev/20100207012503/ What I'm putting into Dada Mail will kick the system you described to the curb.

This is just an FYI. (I'm really not trying to beat this to death) For testing purposes, I downgraded from 4.03 to 3.04 this morning.  I used the same mail file as was used last Saturday.  The following tests, do not represent an actual sending as this message was already sent a week ago.  I inserted the code in the config file that causes them to be compiled, but not sent. Sat, Feb 20, 2010 Test Dada v4.03 Message size: 184kb, same msg as last week (both html and plain text) 339 of 28624 me ...Continue Reading

I wish I could help on some of this stuff, but I have no perl/cgi experience.  If it was php, maybe I'd be of some use. However, I do have experience with using different languages in php (not the actual languages, but the mechanics) and it is really pretty simple, but again I don't know how to translate it into perl. In the bodies of the docs where the publicly viewable words/sentences appear, a variable placeholder is used.  In the below example the variable is $submit that needs translation. ...Continue Reading

> Please add it to the "wish list" Been there for a few years already. I'm slogging through the localization project. It's a lot of work. So, this (Fast CGI) isn't going to happen tomorrow and it too, will be a lot of work. ...Continue Reading

I just wanted to give everyone an update on the localization project: Before I can even begin work on tweaking Dada Mail for working with the localization scheme, I have to get Dada Mail working with fancier encodings than Latin1. As you may have noticed, Dada Mail's unicode (UTF-8) support is a little *cough* spotty at best. Things break. If the message sends out fine, the archive doesn't look too nice (or vice-versa - oh! the agony!) The process to get Dada Mail in shape in regards of this has been very, very, ...Continue Reading

Justin J wrote: There's two features in Dada Mail that can make this faster. One is the, Adjust Sleep Time feature, that tries to remove some of the time actual message sending takes from the batch time, so that the sending time for the entire mailing list is more similar to the estimate. Since you have such a huge batch, and such a small batch time, you're not going to see much difference. The other is Use One SMTP Connection per Batch (Experimental) Which allows you to send a batch with just one conne ...Continue Reading
