Private Mailing Lists

Private Mailing Lists allow you to run a mailing list for a closed off group of participants.

Previous versions of Dada Mail were specifically designed to run Public Mailing Lists: mailing lists where anyone can subscribe to using the mailing list’s subscription form, and most definitely everyone can remove themselves (unsubscribe).

For public mailing lists and marketing purposes, this works just great, but many users want to work with the app for a different purpose: utilizing Dada Mail’s mailing list organizational and mass mailing features for a private mailing list of contacts: a group of colleagues, or an internal company mailing list.

Since this wasn’t a role that Dada Mail was designed for, it hasn’t fared very well, as List Owners became frustrated, having to constantly deal with list members removing themselves (often by accident). The tools to run a private mailing list just weren’t there and solutions to this problem felt very hacky.

Dada Mail now has support for Private Mailing Lists. A private mailing list is a mailing list used in a closed, internal setting; not for a mailing list used publically for marketing purposes.

When a mailing list’s mode is set to, Private, unsubscription links are not required (as they are in a public mailing list), but any unsubscription links found in a mass mailing message will be turned into a link to Request Removal. This request will be sent to the List Owner, who will have the final say on who is removed from the mailing list.

All other options for a mailing list are still available for a Private List, allowing you to tailor your mailing list to exactly what you need.

Abuse Reporting

Abuse Reporting let’s you know if there’s problems happening on your mailing list.

Dada Mail now has the ability to allow users to report abuse on your mailing list. These abuse reports will be emailed to the List Owner, logged, and reported through the Tracker plugin.

Subscriber Subscription Date saved as a Timestamp

Subscriber information now includes the Date of Subscription in a the Timestamp column.

Default order for Membership >> View Screen, Show/Hide Timestamp Column

New options in the, Membership – View screen in the list control panel allow you to set which column to sort subscribers by default, as well as if the Subscription Date/timestamp column should be shown.

Advanced Search/Partial Sending List Options

The View List screen in Dada Mail’s list control panel already has a simple search to find what you’re looking for withing your various mailing list members.

This search is simple to use, but sometimes you really need to drill down to specifically what you’re looking for.

This release of Dada Mail includes an Advanced Search, allowing you to search more specifically for exactly what you’re looking for. You may now search by email address, any profile field independently, as well as between subscription date ranges.

Partial sending works the same way and the ability to send to members who have been subscribed between a range of two dates is also available.

Mass Update of Profile Fields, based on Advanced Search

Once you’ve done an advanced search on your subscribers, you now have the ability to update any of the Profile Fields of your search results, en mass.

Support for Required Profile Fields

Profile Fields can now be marked as, Required. Form field validation is done on the subscription form, both client and server side. The JSON web service API also supports required Profile Fields.

More Powerful List Control Panel Address Importing, Mass Updating

The List Control Panel Add/Subscribe/Invite screen now comes with a ton of new, and useful options and utilities:

Preserve or Update Profile Field Data

In previous versions of Dada Mail, any Profile Field data you try to import could potentially be discarded, if the address you’re importing already has profile field data saved. This is because profile field data is shared between mailing lists, and importing a subscriber into a mailing list, may inadvertantly wipe out already saved information you wanted to keep.

Dada Mail now has the option to either preserve any already-existing profile field data, or update this data that already exists. This choice on what to do can be made during the Verification step.

Profile Field Data Validation

Since Profile fields can now be required, Dada Mail also checks for any required Profile Fields and will present you with the addresses that are missing these Profile Fields, in the verification step. An option also exists subscribe addresses that are missing the required Profile Fields.

Dada Mail now has the option to allow you to mass update the Profile Fields data of subscribers who are already subscribed, stopping you from needing to fully remove subscribers, just to reimport them.

Profiles and Profile Passwords

Along with Profile Fields, Dada Mail can now allow you to set a Profile Password when importing subscribers. This Profile Password allows your user to log into their own Profile, and make changes to their mailing list subscriptions. Profiles are only made if a Profile Password is created.

Dada Mail 6.7.0 this version fix issues and includes new features.

Dada Mail is a Contemporary Mailing List Manager, enabling you to easily run a verified mailing list that your subscribers can trust, right on your own website.

Features

Mass Mailing: Save as Draft

• In past versions of Dada Mail, it was always awkward to keep an unfinished copy of your message: You would either have to keep a browser window always open with this message, save your message in a different place (in a text file on your computer), or use another, hand-rolled solution.
• Now, Dada Mail supports saving unfinished messages, called Drafts. Rejoice!
• Dada Mail can now save a Draft message right in the “Send a Message” or “Send a Wepage” control panel screens. Messages are also auto-saved every minute, in case your browser window is inadvertantly closed by accident. Draft messages will also be saved whenever you send out a test mass mailing, and waiting for you, whenever you come back to send out the message to your subscribers.

• An unlimited number of draft messages may also be saved, viewed and edited.If you want to start over, you also may cancel the message and delete the draft.

• All form fields and widgets available to you in the “Send a Message” and “Send a Webpage” screen are saved when a draft is saved, including: message headers, your message bodies (both PlainText and HTML), and all the other Options available: Archive Options Partial Mailing List Sending Options, File Attachments, and Testing Options.

Mass Mailing: File Attachments

• File Attachment uploading is now handled by the included KCFinder web file manager. This allows you to easily upload attachments before sending a message out, as well as attach files already uploaded.
• Attachments can now also be removed from your messages easily.

• This is a marked improvement over the previous system of just providing a file upload widget, which allowed you to only select a file on your desktop to upload. A new system for file attachments was sorely needed, if we ever wanted to get the Save as Draft feature in Dada Mail.

Installer

• Dada Mail’s included installer allows you to install, reconfigure, and upgrade Dada Mail, without having to touch a single (often confusing to users) config file.
• This installer features support for a large subset of the global configuration variables supported by Dada Mail itself, and we’re constantly working on supporting more and more of the global variables an features.

CAPTCHA Options

• Dada Mail has shipped with support for its own CAPTCHA system, as well as support for the reCAPTCHA service (http://www.google.com/recaptcha). Dada Mail also has support for the related reCAPTCHA Mailhide system (http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/), to protect email addresses in its public message archives.
• The included Dada Mail Installer now allows you to configure the CAPTCHA system that comes with Dada Mail. These options are located under the, Advanced Configuration (Optional) heading, and is available in our Pro Dada distribution. 

jQuery Dada Mail Subscription plugin

• Dada Mail now ships with its own jQuery plugin, to easily create subscription forms, as well as handling the requests inside a modal window, rather than being redirected away from your main website to Dada Mail.
• Dada Mail uses the jQuery plugin itself – you’ll notice it in action on subscription forms handled by Dada Mail, in the app itself.

• The jQuery plugin has 100% support for graceful degredation: if a user uses Dada Mail without having JavaScript enabled, the subscription process will work very similary to how it worked before the jQuery plugin enhancements were put in place.

 Changes Details

 Send Mass Mailing Buttons: Always on Top

• In previous versions of Dada Mail, buttons used to Test, or Send out Mass Mailing were located at the bottom of the screen, after what could be a very long form, forcing you to scroll down, to submit your message.
• Now, the group of buttons in the, Send a Message and Send a Webpage screens always float on top of the form itself, making it easier to always have Draft Saving/Canceling and Mass Mailing Testing/Sending available to you.

Subscription Requests Approving/Denying Options

• Dada Mail’s Subscriptoion Request system allows you to approve subscriptions to your mailing list.
• Options for Subscription Requests Approving/Denying have now been expanded:
  You may now set a custom Rediect (with, or without a query string) for Subscription request approvals, or denials.
  You may now also set custom HTML to be shown to let your users know their request must be approved by the List Owner.

Expanded RESTful API

• The RESTful API for mailing list subscriptions has been expanded to include support for custom URL redirects, as well as working with situations where additional information is required from a user, to successfully complete a request.
• A Javascript/jQuery example is also provided, that supports all these new fancy bells and whistles.
