Justin- I really hate to continue to bring this up because I really like your program.  The features are great as is your support on this list.  I'm not being critical, I'd just like to find a solution. Quick question first: If a mass mailing is started with a certain set of settings are the settings encapsulated in the email?  What I mean is, if the sending is paused and settings are changed and the sending is started again, does it continue with the original settings or does it adopt the ne ...Continue Reading

Well, OK, "launched" is a little lofty of a term, but this is now up: http://dev.dadamailproject.com/ Which is currently a one-page FAQ on lots of developer stuff. I hope to flesh this out and move over the more developer-centric stuff from the main site to this site. I get a lot of complaints that there's too much technical stuff on the main site. People get confused. I'm also thinking of just having this all saved up on github itself, so the developer site itself can be edited by just about, anyone, ...Continue Reading

Curious about something.  I'm cleaning out old logs and and other various items and I noticed that there is both a boucews.txt log that keeps a scorecard plus there is a table in the DB that seems to do the same thing.  Why?  Can one be eliminated?  I see the log contains a lot more info, but this is the first time I've really looked at it so it may not be all that important to me.  Justin J wrote: On Feb 8, 2010, at 9:28 AM, John Collins wrote: There are no mailings going out now ...Continue Reading

A couple of those items are related to the last sending, which is now complete. They are? I'd remove that directory, as well. > Another oddity. When inside the admin screen, if I click the "Manage List > Sending Options" link, I get the "Sign up for a list" screen, even though the link in the browser window ...Continue Reading

> I may be able to do Hebrew, assuming Right-to-Left is supported. That would be wonderful if you can give it a try. Right-to-left *should* be supported - if you're willing, you may want to play around with the small proof of concept script I made and replace the French, with Hebrew and see if it works. In that, "lang/hell_fr.po" file, you'll probably want to change this line: "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=CHARSET\n" to: "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n" And just wr ...Continue Reading

I finally got around to upgrading from 3.03 to 4.02 this week.  It looks like a great upgrade, but my sending speed dropped from about 7,000per hour to under 4,000per hour for a 160kb email, taking over 7 hours for my list of 29k.  Of course, it may be a busy ISP/hosting/server issue so I won't know for sure until I average it over a couple of sends. What I was wondering was if there was any reason that v4 would slow it down.  I saw it wrote to a log that was recording all of the mail as it was ...Continue Reading
