Curious about something. I'm cleaning out old logs and and other various items and I noticed that there is both a boucews.txt log that keeps a scorecard plus there is a table in the DB that seems to do the same thing. Why? Can one be eliminated? I see the log contains a lot more info, but this is the first time I've really looked at it so it may not be all that important to me.

There are no mailings going out now or until tomorrow so I'll delete them all.  What about the Cache folder within the tmp folder?  A couple of those items are related to the last sending, which is now complete.


They are? I'd remove that directory, as well.

Done

Another oddity.  When inside the admin screen, if I click the "Manage List > Sending Options" link, I get the "Sign up for a list" screen, even though the link in the browser window says

You'll want to update your $ADMIN_MENU that's in your .dada_config file, like it says: 

	http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-4_0_2/dada3_to_dada4.pod.html#_admin_menu

For example, the, "Sending Options" screen is no more. There's now a separate screen for basic sending options and one specifically for mass mailing. It makes a lot of sense, once you see the new layout.

Got it. Thanks. Compared to the sample in the v4 download. I missed that one.

This mailing list is to discuss the nerdy programming development of Dada Mail -

If you are just looking for support Dada Mail, consult the message boards at:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/boards

To post to this list, send a message to:

dadadev@dadamailproject.com

All subscribers of this list may post to the list itself.

Some on topic... topics include:

Positive Crits on the program (I like, "x", but, "y" needs some work - here's an idea on how to make this better...)
Bug/Error reports
Bug fixes
Request For Comments on any changes to the program
Help customizing Dada Mail for your own internal needs
Patches
Language Translations
Support Documentation/Doc editing, FAQ's, etc.
Discussion of any changes that you would like to be committed to the next version of Dada Mail -

At the moment, there aren't many people with CVS access for Dada Mail - if you would like CVS access, please first talk about the changes you propose and how it will affect the program. If the idea is sound and agreed upon, the change will be comitted. A good track record of this will allow you to have CVS access. Some reasons that patches will not be accepted is if the patch breaks compatibility with a previous version of the program, the patch is too centric to your own problem or the patch simply isn't very good.

Please, please please familiarize yourself with the documentation at:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation/

Since no one wants to answer the same question twice.

Another sneaky reason for this mailing list is to test out the discussion list capabilities of Dada Mail, since Dada Mail is used for the mailing list itself.

NOTE - because of this, there may be times that this list will be somewhat broken. Although we're not planning on breaking the program by using it, we're giving you the heads up that this may well happen anyways.
