FYI on typical sending slowdowns by Westhost tech. No action requested--just interesting info. A possible partial solution could be to evenly distribute the receiving domains throughout the entire mailing list. Sounds like a daunting task.

Thanks Justin, that's exactly what I needed. The only change was that to clear the cookie I had to use -value => '',instead of -value => undef,Otherwise it retained the last value.

Hi,I'd like DaDa to store the name of the list being edited in a cookie so FCK can use that for user-specific file upload directories, templates, etc. I'm comfortable with PHP but It's been a long time since I've done any Perl coding, and it was pretty basic then.

Justin - This is what I did - I manually typed in an email address in the "Paste Addresses Below" box and clicked "Verify Subscribers." It told me it already existed. To get back to the previous screen, I *think* I clicked on the "Add" menu option again. I know I did not click the "Re-Enter Email List" button. Then I pasted in a bunch of addresses and the error came up when I tried to verify. However, I have since tried to re-create the error for you, but alas, everyt ...Continue Reading

I have a dozen lists and people are usually members of several of them so there is a lot of overlap. I often need to contact several groups that share some commonality, so the ability to send to multiple lists without duplicates would be a feature I would use. In the meantime, I will use a new subscriber field to flag those that are duplicates and omit them when sending by using the "Partial Sending Options". However, my flag subscriber field shows up on the subscription form. Is there a way to make ...Continue Reading

It correctly told me it already existed. Then I pasted in 120 addresses and tried to verify them against my list, but got a "Server 500" error, something about not having access rights to the /.dada_files/.tmp/ directory. After this, I couldn't verify even single addresses. When I checked, some of the write and ex ...Continue Reading

When adding addresses to a list from a file, if the file name contains a single quote, e.g. Carl's List.csv, you get the following error. Solution: Remove single quotes (maybe some other special characters, too) from file name.
