Avoiding mass unsubscribes due to bouncing

February 29th 2016 UTC

I added this to the Wishlist at GitHub, but thought I’d throw it out here as well. Preface - a few months ago, I neglected to check my Tracker data 3 mailings in a row, and the mail server IP was being blocked by an ISP. 3 mailings was enough to trigger a mass of unsubscribes by the bounce handler, which could have been prevented if I had realized the server was blocked. I try to check Tracker after every mailing, but sometimes life intervenes. Emailing a summary of the tracker stats for each mailing (4-8 hou ...Continue Reading

PERL Upgrade Errors

February 4th 2016 UTC

I use MacPorts to keep things up to date on the server that Dada Mail runs on (a Macintosh running 10.10). I have mail.cgi pointing to the /opt/local/When I did an update the other day, I received a couple of messages from list subscribers who were having problems opening email messages. I checked the error log and it had a number of lines like these:\C is deprecated in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(\C <-- HERE )/ at /Library/WebServer/Documents/vtnews/DADA/perllib/URI/Escape.pm line 205, <CONFIG> line 1 ...Continue Reading

Any plans to release a list of possible future feature additions based on the survey? I can put together something, I guess.

That’s awesome. Thanks, Justin! I’m curious to know if you plan to share the results of the survey you did - especially the Wordpress integration. Any plans to release a list of possible future feature additions based on the survey?

Feature Development: Saving Settings to Multiple Lists at Once

January 23rd 2016 UTC

Howdy All - I've been working on an oft-requested feature: the ability to save the settings you see in the list control panel screens to multiple lists at once. Hurray! So in the very near future, (for example), you'll be able to change all the Sending Preferences for all your mailing lists (or choose exactly which ones you would like t save to)at the same time. Currently, you will need to log into every mailing list individually to make the changes, and save your settings. So, that'll soon be no more. Here's w ...Continue Reading

Re: Password Protect Directories odd behavior

January 22nd 2016 UTC

Moshe tested it for me and found that it is a browser bug in Firefox. It’s not downloading the protected file itself, but it downloads the code for the login page in a file with the name of the file being protected (I didn’t try to open the file so it never occurred to me that when the name was correct that it wasn’t actually the protected-file). It also explains why I was getting people who said they couldn’t open the file occasionally. Chrome and Edge work as expected. Moshe suggested serving the PDF files ...Continue Reading

If there is a direct link on a non-protected page to a file download, then when I use right-click and “Save link as”, the login comes up. When I hit cancel, it lets me download the file anyway. I tested it for multiple files. Very strange! If you want to email me personally about this, I'll take a look (is this using the install I just did for you?) ...Continue Reading
