Justin,I'm sorry for taking so long to report back on my tests on this.  See below for why...The idea looks great so far.  However, I haven't managed to get FastCGI to work fully. (I was able to see the interface for setup using a CGI Wrapper that I have mentioned on this email list in the past, but I am specifically trying to test FastCGI.)It appears that CGI::Fast has some issues, though I can't seem to find out why.  See http://serverfault.com/questions/664686/perl-cgifast-closes-connections-wit ...Continue Reading

Hello everyone. Good news! The first ALPHA version of v8 of Dada Mail has been released! Major improvements include porting Dada Mail to the CGI::Application framework, and FastCGI support! I could really use some feedback on this release - especially if you're using FastCGI. I need to know if it's working, and what would make your life easier to utilize Dada Mail under FastCGI - it's all unknown territory for me. All these docs are drafts, but I would love feedback on these as well: Download and install: http ...Continue Reading

Hi everyone - just a progress report: I've gotten Dada Mail running under FastCGI pretty successfully! Whoo! Once this is complete, it's hoping we'll all see 5x-10x performance improvements, especially on busy sites, so that would be fantastic. I'm currently working on the Dada Mail plugins. It's been an interesting project to get going correctly, but I think I've turned the corner on that as well. Plugins will act actually like plugins; running under the main, "mail.cgi" app, instead of being their own tin ...Continue Reading

Here's a small update on this project: After some pretty long days of making a million small adjustments literally everywhere in the source code, we now have a pretty well-functioning, CGI::Application-powered, and FastCGI-enabled Dada Mail! There's a few more problems to overcome, but I should have something alpha-quality to release, and have available for testing purposes. I could really use the feedback, as literally anything could have a small (or larger) bug, that needs to be dealt with. Thankfully, even thoug ...Continue Reading

> Great to hear! Then I can retire my FastCGI/Plack workaround that I have been using to get Dada Mail to run under Nginx. I'll be most interested in getting feedback from you - I'm a little worried about zombie processes. Dada Mail currently forks off a new process, when it sends out a mass mailing, which is a no-no for FastCGI. The workaround looks pretty easy to implement, But I haven't done research yet on what the situation is in PSGI/Plack-land. Also a little worried about the database connection. I'm ...Continue Reading
