Am I correct in that this is the correct code to run Mystery Girl as a cron job? I'm on a Mac and set it with the terminal, but it didn't run last night.

I think I've figured it out by looking more closely at the log file. I noticed that both the date and the ID number of the recorded clickthrough were retained. For marketing reasons, I have a page on the main site that contains the Dada archive in an iFrame so viewers can see what kind of emails I send. The archive contains every one I've sent since 2005. Often people who want to be included will view the archive to see sample similar listings or some of their prior listing as a reference. Therefore, the log ...Continue Reading

Hi Justin,   This is minor on your list of projects, but a common item of confusion for my new email managers is on the main "Send a List Message" page menu on the left side.  The very first entry "Send a List Message" looks like a section title because it is left justified and not bulleted, whereas the other send options are indented and bulleted.  (See below for example)  It would be clearer if the section had a black title of "Send a List Message" and the ...Continue Reading

What I've done is have pretty much all bounces that have a valid email and list to be appended to a file. I'll just search through the file in a bit and see if there's any bounces by some of the addresses that a ...Continue Reading
