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

Justin Firstly - thank you! Since we corresponded through the list in November about the semaphore messages, my ssh cli-installed and Schedule::Cron Dada Mail installation has worked continuously and flawlessly. Now, I would like to add reCAPTCHA to my subscription form, so that a publicly visible link to the form can be put on the astronomy club website. I want to be reasonably assured that the subscription request I see are genuine. In your online documentation about 'Google reCAPTCH v2 Support', you describe configur ...Continue Reading

Well, that's security through obscurity. All that really does is hide what the list short name is, but that can be found easily through the email headers that are sent through the discussion list - it's literally this line: List: dadadev Then since you know the list short name, you can just log in as n ...Continue Reading

I think the below settings under MAILING LIST/Options essentially do that. I don’t publish the link to the web interface, and nobody in my HOA cares to visit yet another website and do yet another login if they can just check a box in their profile on our HOA site. And since I don’t create “accounts” for each user in the sense Dada Mail knows about them, there is no way for a regular user to login through the web interface even if they found their way to it. My Joomla extension interfaces to Dada Mail through MySQL data ...Continue Reading

Thinks Absentmindedly Maybe one easy thing to do is simply have an option in the app to simply not allow log ins to the list control panel for any mailing lists. That could help with keeping things sealed up until you absolutely have to log in to do $stuff. I'd be game to implement that. -- Justin J: Lead Dadaist.url: http://dadamailproject.com email: justin@PROTECTED twitter: @dadamail skype: leaddadaist Dada Mail Announcements:http://dadamailproject.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/list/dada_announce/ On Aug 24, 2020, a ...Continue Reading

Would that be doable? It's probably a project that's over and above what I'm willing to commit to taking on myself. The benefit just may be too small, as the way you're using the app is somewhat of a minority. If there were more mature front ends to ...Continue Reading
