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.

The db only holds the scores, per list/subscriber and the log holds the entire report, per bounce. If you view the scorecard in the control panel, the reports are then shown for each email address. I'd keep the db, if the log is too big, ditch it (although it could be helpful if you're looking for some problem)

The reason why there isn't one and not the other is performance. The txt log is only read when you do a search. The db is used for scoring, tallying, seeing if a subscriber should be removed - lots of things,

    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.
