2.8.10 beta 2

New Features
Subscription Quota
You can set the maximum number of allowed subscribers of a list, using the new Subscription Options admin screen. This screen by default is only available when someone log onto a list using the Mojo Root Password. It can also be set in LIST_SETUP_DEFAULTS as use_subscription_quota (use it at all) and subscription_quota (the actual quota)

List Quota
You can set the maximum number of lists allowed to be created by tweaking the $LIST_QUOTA Config.pm variable.


Updated CPAN Perl Modules
Mail::Address

1.56 -> 1.60


2.8.10 beta 1
New Features

IP Address Logging
IP Addresses are logged in the usage logs, as well as in subscription/unsubscription notices. This is helpful, for instance, if you are dealing with a subscription dispute and need some information on what computer the subscription took place.

URL Redirects
Most of the common functions dealing with subscription/unsubscription handling can have an URL redirect to any other page you'd like, Making Mojo Mail able to be semi transparent to a tightly designed website.

RSS Capabilites
The first index of archived messages can now be had as an RSS feed. The address would be:
http://yourmojosite.com/cgi-bin/mojo...&list=yourlist

This is sort of experimental. If it proves popular, I'll build up this feature.

Anyone wanting to take a look at the new Dada Mail, you can access the live demo with this link. The root password is demo.

I will report on my experiences in upgrading the script shortly.

[MikeMann]

I upgraded by simply changing line 259:

$PROGRAM_CONFIG_FILE_DIR = undef;

to reflect the location of my new config file called .dada_config.

In the config file I have as follows:

$PROGRAM_ROOT_PASSWORD = '******';
$FILES = '/home/httpd/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/dada-list';
$MAILPROG = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
$PROGRAM_URL ='http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/dada/dada.cgi';

Notice that I renamed the mail.cgi to dada.cgi

I then uploaded the entire dada folder up to the cgi-bin folder, than set dada.cgi to CHMOD 755. I renamed my old mojo-list folder under httpdocs to dada-list and all is done.

Once I checked and saw that the new version was working, I removed the entire mojo folder from under cgi-bin

Yeah, seems pretty straightforward as MannInc said. Not too many new features, its mostly a polish with some internal bugfixes.

Sounds like Justin is committed to its development though, that he'd put this much effort into a name change after a legal challenge. I look forward to more features soon.

[MikeMann]

Yeah, gotta find the time now to change the Mojo Mail Tut to reflect the changes
