That's a good point - (I think) sometimes mailings fail when one address causes problems. It would be easy enough to keep track of these addresses and let the list owner do something about them. I did good progress on the auto-pickup feature yesterday: If anyone takes a peak at the current bulk_send subroutine in DADA/ Mail/Send.pm, you'll see it's an ...Continue Reading

Well, there are others (like me) who are *NOT* interested in the discussion list features and also bought a pro version some time ago. I am primarily interested in a reliable message distribution workhorse. That is what DadaMail always stood for: Write Once Distribute to Many (appx 8000). However, I support all features with comments and ideas, that might be interestin ...Continue Reading

I'm tinkering with making mailouts support a sort of, "auto pickup" feature. Here's the problem: Mailouts to a list sometimes get stopped - there's many reasons: Server Killed the process Some random error in the program Dada Mail can't auto pickup a failed mailing, because it has no metadata about the mailing - not even a copy of the message is saved internally, which is sort of dumb. Currently, you can only send a new message at a specific point in your mailing list, which is less than optimal ...Continue Reading

Well, is there something else we'd should do about obfuscating email addresses in the archived messages (all over, really)? The only other thing I can think of is using some sort of JavaScript obfuscator, or, change the text of the email address to include an image for, say, the, "@" sign, like so: dadaskazat.com The, "dada ...Continue Reading

Michael: 4. If I use the archiving of my discussion list the e-mail addresses are displayed doing a Google search with the keywords of the name of the person. Add a robots.txt file to the root of your site and in this textfile type: User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin/ Now your problem is gone, there are a multiple of things you can set in the robots.txt file to have control over how searchengines scan your site.

Dear Simoni, I want to apologize. Please don't be angry at me. My only aim is to get a stable version WITHOUT the multiple fields feature for a DISCUSSION LIST. I didn't know that there was a special URL for the bugs so I apologize again. Obviously I don't regret at all to have contributed to the multiple fields feature this is a misunderstanding and I would be very glad if you could speak english correctly. Please don't be angry at me... -- Michael Havlicek Le 4 janv. 06, � 02:00, Dada Mail ((Justin Simoni)) a �c ...Continue Reading

Good news, I think I've gotten a workaround for servers that don't give back the correct PATH_INFO environment variable. The PATH_INFO environment variable is used in Dada Mail to use URL's that look like this: http://mojo.skazat.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/list/dadadev/ Instead of: http://mojo.skazat.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi? flavor=list&list=dadadev Using the PATH_INFO method makes the URL appear much cleaner and search engine friendly. The problem is, some hosting companies, like GoDaddy execute cgi ...Continue Reading
