Hello everyone, v11.12.0 is out. Big features are auto image resizing everywhere and size limits on mailing list messages (so you don't try to send out a 50 meg message to thousands of people).

Hey everyone - this vulnerability has NOTHING to do with Dada Mail, but shows what can happen when something that allows you to view/upload files is found to have a vulnerability: https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2020/09/millions-of-sites-targeted-in-file-manager-vulnerability-attacks/ The latest versions of Dada Mail allow you to simple NOT have a file manager active, while also making sure any former copies of a file manager that was being used are inoperable. This is to keep things secure as much as we can. If you DO ...Continue Reading

Just to add an epilogue: - I was able to use the Web-based installer to upgrade to 11_11_2. - I took the opportunity to add the Bounce Handler (which has sorted out a recent minor issue) and the Global config plugin. - As a side benefit, I also now have a utility for backing up and restoring the database. - I had the opportunity to configure for reCAPTCHA v2 but the installation test failed with "cannot locate JSON.pm in @INC". I have to build my CPAN routines locally and upload them (shared host does not have ...Continue Reading

I'm *also* working on a few other features around the app. One deals with images in HTML messages. Right now, there's an option to embed them in the message itself (this is the default). This is all well and good, but sometimes people upload absolutely **gigantic** images to put in their email messages, then send those out to a few thousand people. So, there's now an option to resize images that are over a limit. That limit is based on the width of the image, and can also be specified for a few different widths ava ...Continue Reading

I'm working on adding some more features to the recurring schedules. You'll now be able to set which week of the month you'd like to send a message out. See my screenshots I've attached - for example I can now say, "hey, send this message out on the first Sunday of the month". As it gets a little confusing on just what the options will do when it comes to setting schedules, I've also made a little calendar that will allow you to see when the scheduled mass mailing will be sending on. -- Jus ...Continue Reading

Thanks for your clear guidance and reassurance. I'll try a Web-based installer upgrade combined with a reCAPTCHA configuration. Think I'll do a full backup of Dada Mail and the database first - just in case.

OK, so you did use the installer, just on the command line. Now that it is set up and working, would you expect the web-based installer to work with the existing (standard) installation for reCAPTCHA configuration? It's worth a try. Upgrading is also supported via the command line (although setting up captcha via t ...Continue Reading

I used the command line installer, which I think is still available. In my case I uploaded dada-11_4_6.tar.gz to cgi-bin,extracted and unpacked it, renamed the installer and ran it with a command string set according to the guidance in the documentation.It installed fine, partly because from earlier attempts I had already set up the subdomain and database. Then I had to enable Bridge and set up my local cron but the basic install by the command line installer was straightforward. Now that it is set up and working, woul ...Continue Reading

The installer would be needed to install and upgrade the app. The installer would also help make sure the prereqs. to use Google reCAPTCHA are working correctly, and allow you to test the config of it all, so it's what I also suggest if you want to set it up. How to configure it via the global config file also changes - and it has changed between what you're running and what's out now - again the installer helps smooth out those sort of details. How the heck did you install Dada Mail without the installer? -- Justi ...Continue Reading
