Here's how the changelog is shaping up:
Changes 4.2.0
Dada Mail Installer
Dada Mail now comes with an installer - manually setting up and configuring Dada Mail is now longer needed. Heavens be praised.
Dada Installer directions may be found at:
http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-4_2_0-rc2/manually_install_dada_mail.pod.html
Upgrade instructions may be found at:
http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-4_2_0-rc2/upgrade_dada_mail.pod.html
The installar script may also be run via the command line - instructions can be found on how to use it, by invoking the script with the, --help flag,
shell>./installer.cgi --help
Installation Terminology Changes
The, "Advanced" Installation of Dada Mail is just known as a, "Manual" installation of Dada Mail.
The Dada Mail Installer will install Dada Mail the same way as one would install Dada Mail manually. Directions may be found here:
http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-4_2_0-rc2/manually_install_dada_mail.pod.html
The, "Basic" Installation method is not recommended or supported. If upgrading from a, "Basic" installation, it's recommended to move to a more contemporary installation setup:
Setup Info Screen
The, "Setup Info" Screen, that you can access using this URL:
http://example.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi
has been completely rewritten. In light of the Installer, it does not attempt to help configure Dada Mail for you, but will tell you what type of installation it recognizes, will present to you the entire contents of your, dada/DADA/Config.pm file as well as your .dada_config file and will show you how all config variables are being interpreted.
$ADMIN_MENU Changes
The $ADMIN_MENU variable has been changed to add the, "Dada Mail Setup Info" menu item. It looks like this:
{-Title => '<!-- tmpl_var PROGRAM_NAME --> Setup Info',
-Title_URL => "$S_PROGRAM_URL?f=setup_info",
-Function => 'setup_info',
-Activated => 1,
},
MySQL 4-specific schema REMOVED
The MySQL schema shipped for Dada Mail, specifically for v4 of MySQL has been removed. The reason for the schema was more because of UTF-8 incompatibilities, rather than problems with this version of MySQL v4.

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:

To post to this list, send a message to:

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.
