Dada Mail Mailing Lists: [dadadev] Dada Mail 4.0.3 Beta 1 Released #perl


Subject: [dadadev] Dada Mail 4.0.3 Beta 1 Released #perl
Date: Fri Feb 10 20:11:39 2012

.0.3 Beta 1 has been released:

I've merged all the UTF-8/unicode stuff with the master branch (which was just bug fixes) and... that worked, so this is will be what I'll ship as 4.0.3 STABLE in just a little while - provided nothing is found to make it a show-stoper. Below is the change log. It doesn't mention anything about the Unicode/UTF-8 work... which I will... add... soon.

4.0.3
Changes 4.0.3
Changes to Default List Settings
We've changed a few of the default list settings, hopefully so that everyone has a more pleasant experience, right off the bat:

Activate Black List
We've enabled the setting to active the Black List, by default.

We're also enabling the below settings:

  • Move Unsubscribed Subscribers Automatically to the Black List
  • Continue to Allow Subscriptions From Subscribers of Black Listed Addresses

You still have the option to change new lists to the previous behavior and already created lists will have their previous behavior, if Black List Settings have already been edited.

Print List-Specific Headers option Removed The option, Print List-Specific Headers has been removed from, Mail Sending -Advanced Sending Preferences has been removed, but the functionality has not. All mailing list messages will have these headers.

Send Unsubscription Confirmation Emails (Closed-Loop Opt-Out) - disabled by default Send Unsubscription Confirmation Emails (Closed-Loop Opt-Out) has been disabled by default (you can still enable it)

This option, when enabled, requires that when someone wants to unsubscribe, they have to confirm this unsubscription by clicking on the unsubscription confirmation link in a URL sent their subscribed address.

When disabled (the new default), they simply have to fill out the subscribe/unsubscribe form.

Subscription and Unsubscription links now include an Email Address When available, both the Subscription and Unsubscription links will have the potential subscriber's (or unsubscriber's) email address in the link itself, so that the user does not have to do the two-step of first following the link and then typing in their email address.

These links are created per-subscriber (or potential sub/unsub), when you use the:

or,

tags. Previously, these tags only provided a link to the subscription/unsubscription form, without the email address embedded within the link itself. There is no way to revert this behaviour, but you can still roll your own links, like this:

Subscription Link:

http://dadamailproject.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/s/dadadev

Unsubscription Link:

http://dadamailproject.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/u/dadadev

Unsubscription Links Now Mandatory for Mass Mailing Messages Dada Mail will now do a quick check to make sure that there is a Dada Mail Unsubscription link in your mass mailing messages, before sending them out.

If one is not found, one will be automatically appended to the end of your message.

It will not be very fancy.

We suggest that you make sure that you have a real, valid, Dada Mail unsubscription link in your Mailing List Messages.

    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:

    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.
