From: Hi Justin from GDPR land! I have been doing a mass of stuff with GDPR and I would say that it does need taking seriously, but on the other hand I would encourage you to make any changes from the perspective that requirements need to be highlighted to the list owner/maker when setting up.

Example : The list owner must display or m ...Continue Reading

From: Howdy everyone. I'm actively tackling the GDPR monster. It's a big issue, and I'm taking it very seriously. I know some of you have questions about GDPR and Dada Mail. Boy do I have some too.

But it seems that Dada Mail is not able to unsubscribe automatically if received an unsubscribe request email, which is a feature with mailman. Will anyone add this feature in future?
