Dada Mail is an open source mature and intuitive web-based e-mail list management system, which runs on Unix-like hosting accounts that can run custom CGI scripts. Dada Mail handles Closed-Loop Opt-in/Opt-out subscriptions, sending complex announce-only and/or discussion mailing list messages with an advanced, fault-tolerant mass mailing monitor, supports the archiving/viewing/searching/resending/syndicating (rss, atom feeds) of sent messages and doing all this and a whole lot more with style.
Dada Mail can handle custom subscriber fields and you can use the information it captures for partial list sending based on a query and Dada Mail’s email templating system allows you to create targeted and completely custom email messages for each and every one one of your subscribers.
Dada Mail is bundled with additional plugins and extensions to extend Dada Mail’s capabilities. Some of the plugins/extensions support advanced bounce handling, clickthrough tracking, mass mail scheduling, blog interfaces of archived messages, AJAX subscription form trickery and lots of other surprises.
Dada Mail produces XHTML valid web content and sticks to best practices when creating email messages. Write Once: Distribute Everywhere.
Key Features
- Web-based control panel.
- Each list has a separate mailing list control panel.
- Runs as a CGI script.
- Support for Closed-Loop Opt-in/Opt-out subscription. This process makes sure the user wants their email address subscribed to the mailing list, ensures the email address is valid, leaves a ‘paper trail’ of the subscription, and makes it easy to adhere to relevant legislation such as the CAN-SPAM act.
- Supports arbitrary custom Subscriber Profile Fields.
- Send messages through your mail reader, to a special List Address.
- Send messages on a schedule, either one-time or repeating using the plugin called, “Beatitude”
- Sending Monitor – lets you know how many messages are being sent at once and the details of each individual mailing.
- Mailing list archives.
