Is there a way to have dada mail deliver a newsletter based on an event?  On my site (bargainjack.com), I have a newsletter that I deliver to my customers daily, and its content is populated by a special webpage on my server (in other words, I don't type the newsletter in by hand, but instead, I put in a URL for my content when filling out the Dada newsletter form).  This special URL usually updates at midnight, but sometimes might update the following morning--thus I can't use the timed delivery option for m ...Continue Reading

Most likely, it's a bug I've introduced - For session stuff, Dada Mail uses the CGI::Session CPAN package: http://search.cpan.org/~markstos/CGI-Session/lib/CGI/Session.pm It's a very good package, with a good testing ...Continue Reading

Ferruccio, I had the same problem with one of my sites. Change the variable $SESSION_DB_TYPE to 'Classic'. It worked for me. It appears to be a problem with cookie handling on some servers (according to Justin). Good luck!

Hello everyone - This is a heads-up that I'll be taking a break from, well, life between June 30th and August 5th, 2007 to ride my bicycle from Canada to Mexico in ~30 days. I'll be camping along the way and basically Dharma-Bumming it. I will be almost totally unplugged, so don't expect me to be able to help on anything, no matter how much of an emergency it is. Saying that, if you do have a project that needs my hand in it, for example: sponsorship on a new feature, installation, etc, now's the time to ...Continue Reading
