v9.4.0 Released

June 20th 2016 UTC

Hello everyone, v9.4.0 is out the door. This version includes rate limiting. You want rate limiting, and I'd suggest upgrading almost any install to this version. No kidding. * Download and Install: http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-9_4_0/install_dada_mail.pod.html Rate Limiting We've enabled a Rate Limiting in Dada Mail! This is a safeguard against perhaps nefarious attempts at attacking the Dada Mail when there are many requests done in a short space of time. Before v9.4.0, Dada Mail would happily ...Continue Reading

v9.4.0 Beta 1 Released

June 16th 2016 UTC

Hello everyone, v9.4.0 Beta 1 is out. Download and Install: http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-9_4_0-beta1/install_dada_mail.pod.html (Pro Dada versions are available) This version has the new Rate Limiting feature built in. Seems to work really well! Now that it's a part of the app, seems a little naked to run without it. Rate Limiting is currently enabled by default, and also has settings that can be customized in the installer. I'd love to get some more real-world feedback in seeing if the featu ...Continue Reading

Re: Rate Limiting in Dada Mail

June 14th 2016 UTC

Ten requests in a minute should definitely be enough - as long as it isn't counting assets, only main page access.My only currently running Dada instance is 5.1.1 and it looks like that does load the assets through the cgi.Rather than rate limiting, maybe something like what MailChimp does could work. They have a hidden field on the form that a bot would be likely to try to fill in, but a real person would never see. If there is anything in the field, the submission is rejected.    <!-- real people should ...Continue Reading

Rate Limiting in Dada Mail

June 13th 2016 UTC

I'm getting a lot of reports of people having their Dada Mail installs slammed with requests on subscription forms, basically from bots trying to do… something with the form (probably badly informed). One option to stop this is putting a CAPTCHA on this form, which I'm slightly opposed to, since it adds yet another step between a person who's not subscribed to your list, and one that is. Rather, I've been experimenting with rate limiting, so only a number of requests are allowed in a certain amount of time. Luckily ...Continue Reading

Bruce, can you let me know what filesystem type you're running? I wonder if you're on a network file system, which would have issues with atomic file transactions, causing some race conditions. Dada Mail keeps state of where you are in the mass mailing using a file-based system. It's been my intention to move this to MySQL tables, so that we can get decent and more predictable data access and locking (even a full table lock would be fine for our purposes). ...Continue Reading
