MBS010 - can't greet server w/o domain
You shouldn't anymore.
The SMTP error log wasn't being written into unless whatever file was set in $SMTP_ERROR_LOG_FILE already existed. That seemed a little silly. This is no longer the case. It should create this file for you, if it's not present. You may receive an error if the file isn't there.
It also wasn't very clear that you need at least version 5.6 for SMTP mailing to work now. Warnings are now put in the error log and in the Sending Options screen to politely tell you.
The Errors-To textfield doesn't explicitly get printed out to tweak, unless you've asked that this header by printed in list messages. This itself is off by default, since this particular header is deprecated.
Similarily, the Return-Path textfield doesn't explicitly get printed out to tweak, unless you've asked that this header by printed in list messages. But, you could never have this textfield printed before, so it's a little added feature. But! this as well is turned off, since I've never been able to set the Return-Path header myself, except when using Qmail.
The From and Reply-To text fields are now properly escaped. They weren't before and an improperly escaped From addy could mess up deliveries.
So, there is no more List-Software header, but! there is a new X-Mailer header, that will basically hold the same information the List-Software header was.
I also tweaked the remaining List- headers to conform with the RFC's suggestions; basically to add brackets around the url's.
I'm also ditching the Organization header, since it's fairly useless.
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/func/fork.html
The problem was that Mojo Mail was trying to upload a file that didn't exist, and you were given a line by line review of a directory, not a file, (since that was nonexistant)
Commas in list names were mucking up emails sent, because the From: header wasn't being escaped for commas properly. This should be fixed.
Minor CSS tweaks.
The Mystery Girl bounce handler has been updated - bug fixes mostly.
Bug Fix: [ 750715 ] wrong confirm link when + in e-mail address
I added a little message that states, ``you need cookies enabled'' in the ?f=admin screen, so when people have trouble logging, they can at least self debug the most likely problem.
There was some problems with the clickthrough tracker, clickthroughs would redirect to the Mojo Mail support page by accident! This has been resolved.
Exim support added to the Bounce Handler
%HTMLFROMTEXT_OPTIONS = ( urls => 1, email => 1, paras => 1, bold => 1, underline => 1, lines => 1 ) unless keys %HTMLFROMTEXT_OPTIONS;
I also realized that this module hasn't been updated in 3 years, and there's a different, but similar module called, HTML::Text2HTML that I may look into more, since it has many more options to nerd through.
You can now specify showing the oldest and newest archive entries without having to know the actual id number, instead of, say:
http://ms.com/cgi-bin/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=archive&;l=justin&id=1234
You can say:
http://ms.com/cgi-bin/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=archive&;l=justin&id=newest
or,
http://ms.com/cgi-bin/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=archive&;l=justin&id=oldest
=item * $DEFAULT_SCREEN
You can now set a default url that Mojo Mail will redirect to, using the $DEFAULT_SCREEN variable.
To tie some things together, say I have a list called, ``diary'', which I write every week. I could have the default screen of Mojo Mail show the last entry that I sent out in my diary list by setting the the $DEFAULT_SCREEN to:
$DEFAULT_SCREEN = 'http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=archive&;l=archive&id=newest';
That's pretty sick I think.
You can still access the default... default screen by specifying 'default' as the flavor that you type in the address bar:
http://ms.com/cgi-bin/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=default
The MOJO::MailingList::Subscribers::baseSQL::print_out_list() method was printing a newline without a defined filehandle. I doubt this affected anything, but it has been fixed.
The ``Get HTML Code'' form didn't ``Set'' anything in some instances, since there was a minor bug in the javascript. This has been fixed.
There was some debug code that has been taken out of the MOJO::MailingList::Subscribers::baseSQL::print_out_list() method and the view_list subroutine in mojo.cgi.
The Errors-To mail header isn't printed in any email messages by default. This header has been deprecated for quite some time now. You can still enable this header in Sending Options -> Advanced screen, it's list settings key is print_errors_to_header
The Sender mail header is now supported by MOJO::Mail::Send
You now have the option of setting the Sender() method in Mail::Bulkmail. This will set the Sender: and Return-Path header in email messages to the admin_email address. From the Mail::Bulkmail docs:
Stores the Sender address of this mailing. Must be a valid email address, unless Trusting is set. Really really should be a valid email address anyway.
Sender is mainly used when speaking SMTP to the server, specifically in the RCPT TO command. The spec defines "Sender" as "he who send the message" (paraphrasing), which may not actually be who the message is from. 2.00 used the From address as the Sender.
You should specify this, but if you don't then the From value is assumed to be the sender.
$bulk->Sender('jim@jimandkoka.com');
print $bulk->Sender;
If this value is not set, then Mail::Bulkmail will place a Sender header equal to the From value.
Note that the ultimate receiving SMTP server is expected to place a Return-Path header in the message. This Return-Path value will be set to the value of the sender of the message, either ->Sender or ->From. This, in turn, will be the address that bounce backs go to. You should not set a Return-Path header yourself, because bad things will result.
(hat tip: Finn Smith)
Mail::Bulkmail has been upgraded from 3.05 to 3.09. It's changelog is located here: http://search.cpan.org/src/JIMT/Mail-Bulkmail-3.09/Changes
In 2.8.5, the url is fetched twice, once for the actual email, the second time for archving. The second time, the information from the url isn't MIME encoded. Also, for mailing list messages using the ``Send a Web Page'' feature, the Mailing List Message template won't be used, since it was breaking the format of the MIME encoded email itself. This may be the culprit on why some people would only see the sourcecode itself in their mail reader when sending a webpage.
At this moment, it is advised that you should put the sub/unsub links, etc in the webpage itself.
Sort of a bandaid, but better than what was happening in the 2.8 series since.
Errors occuring when trying to preview a template, creating a new archived message and when viewing your list in a new window are fixed. Ugh.
The Black List screen wasn't showing correctly if you're backend is one of the SQLs. This was because of an error in the SQL statement itself. This has been fixed.
``Mailing Sent'' messages can be sent, even when batching ins't enabled. This will work for SMTP mailings as well.
Some pesky CGI subroutines were still not converted to CGI method calls.
This affected the ``Add Subscribers'' control panel, and the ``Create a new List'' control panel.
Security Fix - There was an issue when setting the ``REFERER_CHECK to '1' in 2.8 and 2.8.1. Doing so would actually circumvent mojo's security when logging into a list control panel. Bad news. This has been fixed, although setting it seems to break logging into Mojo Mail using a Mozilla-based browser. Please note.
I've done some more work on cookies being set correctly. Another, slightly related problem is with HTML forms in Mojo Mail, which seemed to NOT get auto-escaped, as the CGI.pm docs said they would be. I thought this was some sort of odd condition with setting the charset, but it isn't. The way I fixed the form values not being auto-escaping is by changing every subroutine call to CGI.pm subroutines to method calls. For some odd reason, I think mixing the two styles is a bad idea.
I ``fixed'' the cookie problems by setting a throwaway cookie before the cookie I really want set. For some reason, CGI.pm wasn't writing the cookie value correctly.
mojo_send.pl has be recommitted because insanity in the community. The version provided in this distro should also work for version 2.8 and 2.8.1.
I found that if you have a list name that has a double qote (``) in the name itself, mail using this address may not always be sent, since the To: header wouldn't be formatted correctly. I've fixed this problem, and if you had problems with receiving subscription notices, password emails, etc, a funky email address may be why.
Bug Fixes
Editing Email Messages via the list control panel sometimes causes an Internal Server Error. This should be fixed.
Some users have been complaining that it is impossible to actually log into the list control panel. After the password information is entered into Mojo, the user is now refreshed into the list control panel, instead of being redirected. This was suggested by an anonymous user. Thanks anonymous user, (whoever... you, are).
There was a formatting error in the ``Advanced Sent a List Message'' page. Apparently, version 2.91 of CGI.pm doesn't autoescape double quotes.
The %SQL_PARAMS hash in MOJO::Config looks like this:
%SQL_PARAMS = ( database => '', dbserver => '', port => '', dbtype => '', # 'mysql' for 'MySQL', 'Pg' for 'PostgreSQL' user => '', pass => '',
subscriber_table => 'mojo_subscribers',
) unless keys %SQL_PARAMS;
The addition of the needed 'subscriber_table' key, and a little help on how to set the 'db_type' value.
Debug code dealing with [redirect] tags has been taken off.
Content-type header tags were, in some instances, NOT printed. This has been fixed.
You don't have to explicitly set the $S_MOJO_URL if you use an outside config file now.
setting $LIST_IN_ORDER to ``1'' should do as advertised with Plain Text Lists. It's still HIGHLY (bolded, underlined) recommended that you not set $LIST_IN_ORDER to ``1'' if you're using a Plain Text list.
hard_remove => 1,
To the %LIST_SETUP_DEFAULTS config hash. Why? Well, hard_remove deals with how subscribers are unsubscribed in the SQL backends, it means, delte the row. A ``soft'' remove just sets the list_status to ``0''. In 2.7.2, all removes were soft, and this is wrong. The worst thing about this is that every new subscription is checked to see if there is already a row for this subscriber. This can take a lot of time and really ruined much of the pepiness of the SQL backends. This can be set in 2.7.2 for a huge speed gain.
This lead to another bug, where new_id() was being called in the SQL backends. Before 2.7 I believe, unique ids were created by hand for each of the subscription entries. This is a bad because two rows will eventually get the same id, if they're subscribed at the same time. The fix for this is to let the database itself do this step. The problem with that approach is that MySQL and Postgres do it differently; MySQL uses ``auto increment''.. thingy, while Postgres uses the ``serial'' field type. This little muckup has been fixed.
I've added a few more CPAN modules, because, what the hey. I'm going to ship with HTML::Template, just because this is what's going to be there for the future of Mojo, and I might as well know I have it handy, if I ever make an extension or plugin that uses it.
bug fix $LIST_IN_ORDER should actually have some sort of affect for the SQL backends, hurra! I'm thinking of making a generic SQL module that both MySQL and Postgres base themselves upon. That would stop a lot of the same code in each module. I think the only discrepency right now is the different way MySQL and Postgress automatically make unique ids.
A referer check is also done before sending, something that was lacking in the original implementation. This should be seen as a major security hole. If you are using a version of Mojo Mail that is 2.7.2 or below, please do not use the ``send this archived message'' link feature. It is off by default.
new feature: The send an archive message can now be edited and customized via the control panel, under ``Manage Copy->Email Messages''.
Along the same line, There is now a ``Resend an archived message'' button when you browse the list's archives via the admin control panel. Pushing this button will take you to the Advanced ``Send a List Message'' screen with the appropriate fields already filled in. Because the entire message is NOT saved in the archive, things like attachements won't be automatically added.
bug fix: When using a SQL backend and SMTP sending, tmp subscription list files, created when you send a mass email, are never deleted. This should be fixed.
bug fix: When using an SQL backend, invitation entries were never removed, and subscribed addresses would receive the invitation again and again. This has been fixed.
new feature: List Invitation message bodies and the subject are now saved for future invitation messages.
bug fix: When using SMTP sending and asking for a new list password to be sent to the list owner, Mojo will still send the request email using whatever path to sendmail is set via $MAILPROG. This is because the list settings, which the SMTP info is included, is never passed to the new() constructor. This has been fixed.
I'm currently rewriting the ``View your Subscribers'' screens, as they're really not that helpful in.. viewing your list if you have more than say, 100 subscribers. The reason being, the list is in a scrolling list widget and... that's it. You can't select anything in that list and do anything with it. So, I'm currently creating an interface with just a list of the subscribers. If you click an address, you'll get a screen where you can either remove the address or edit that address. Should be much more handier.
new feature: Subscription/unsubscription notices now tell you how many subscribers are actually on your list in each mailing. Handy.
Worked on which MIME Type is figured out when you attach a file in the Sending Options->Advanced screen.
People were asking q's about it with unexpected results and I figured it was pretty stupid to keep adding to the %MIME_TYPES hash everytime you have some sort of odd file to send. So, I did some research on MIME::Types and MIME::Type, realized that they were already included with Mojo Mail - for MIME::Lite! that actually finds MIME::Types for attachments automatically... but! Mojo Mail is shipped by default to not do these checks. Yeah, talk about retarded.
So, now Mojo will see if the correct version of MIMEL::Types is available, if not, it'll try to do the MIME Type association by itself. If nothing turns out, the task is passed to MIME::Lite.
With that, you can also specify a username/password to access ``protected'' directories, which makes sense I guess.
You can now set a default charset for the majority of HTML screens, using the $HTML_CHARSET Config.pm varible. This is a nice, small step towards better internationalization. SMALL, small step.
MOJO::MailingList::Settings
Which, at the moment, has 2 public methods, get() and save(). This replaces MOJO::Guts::open_database() and MOJO::Guts::setup_list() which are so awfully named, it's a wonder I haven't done this before.
In doing this, I've created a bug, since setup_list, actually /was/ for setting up lists, but... it also used to save settings. This will be dealt easily, once there's a object or something that will allow you to create a list, since now you can only access lists that are created. MOJO::MailingList::Settings won't let you try to access an undefined list - which is a good thing.
Mail::Bulkmail is now at version 3.02, it was 3.00 3 days ago. I may wait a little while for that module to mature before I put it in Mojo Mail.
Moved: To:
--------------------------------------------------
MOJO::Archive MOJO::List::Archives
MOJO::Error MOJO::App::Error
MOJO::Guts MOJO::App::Guts
MOJO::HTML MOJO::Template::HTML
MOJO::Licenses MOJO::App::Licenses
MOJO::List MOJO::MailList::Subscribers
MOJO::Log MOJO::Logging::Usage
MOJO::Log::ClickThrough MOJO::Logging::ClickThrough
MOJO::Mail MOJO::Mail::Send
MOJO::Password MOJO::Security::Password
MOJO::Widgets MOJO::Template::Widgets
MOJO::Widgets::AdminMenu MOJO::Template::Widgets::AdminMenu
I hope it makes sense why I actually did this. In MojoMaiLand, A Mailing List has subscribers, an archive and settings... so why isn't this reflected in the code structure? There's also a baby module, called MailingList.pm, which in the near future, you'll be able to use to do anything that has to do with a list. In theory, you'll soon say:
my $ml = MOJO::MailingList->new($name);
my $settings = $ml->settings;
my $archive = $ml->archive;
# etc
Instead of the Usually OO'd, module calls now. The problem is, no OO module in Mojo Mail has a ``has a'' relationship. Nothing really has a ``is a'' relationship either. I could see different kinds of logs have a isa relationship soon.
MOJO::MailingList does have a Create() function... it's not a method and you cannot have a MOJO::MailingList method yet, since I'm still trying to grapple on how you can have a MOJO::MailingList object without naming what the list is.
I'd like to also make a MOJO::Mail::CreateMessage module, perhaps inheriting MIME::Lite methods directly.
Black lists should be working for everyone again.
Bulk Mailing Precendences can now, um, NOT be set. The can also be successfully default in %LIST_SETUP_DEFAULTS
The From: header in all messages sent are now escaped when the have double quotes in them. A bug has been sent to the maintainer of Mail::Tools about this.
The newest version of Mail::Address has been put into Mojo Mail.
A simple check has been placed on the Advanced Mail Settings ``add the -f flag'' setting. If the effective uid isn't the same as the reail uid, an warning is presented.
Lists in the popup menus and on the default page are now in alphabetical order (an amazing world we live in today) - this is a sorta bug - fixed.
calling Guts::open_database with a list name that doesn't exist creates a blank db with nothing in it. I couldn't believe there wasn't a check to see if the db being called actually exists. It does now.
many instanced where ``use of uninitialized errors'' warnings where plugged
Amazingly enough, I'm having good luck running Mojo Mail with the '-T' flag, I don't really know why! :)
email, pin, list and flavor params given to Mojo Mail are filter to prevent XSS.
Messages were getting archived even when archiving was turned off - fixed.
When creating a new list and an error was encountered when filling out the form, the user was redirected to the default page - fixed.
there was a bug in the add_to_email list function in MOJO::MailingList::Subscribers::PostgreSQL that would come up if you tried to subscribe to a list. This has been fixed. This bug would only affect people using PostGres as their backend.
POP3 passwords are now Cipher encrypted in the list settings database. YOU WILL NEED TO RECONFIGURE THE POP3 PASSWORD IF YOU USE POP-BEFORE-SMTP AUTHENTICATION.
The program setup check has been fixed, it should now come up if the program wasn't setup correctly. Furthermmore, more information about the setup can be viewed, with hints on what, if anything, is wrong. ( $MOJO_URL?f=setup_info ) Funnily enough, if you didn't setup the $MOJO_RUL variable correctly, you won't be able to see any of the setup info.
Cipher keys can be reset for all lists. ($MOJO_URL?f=reset_cipher_keys)
For security and functional reasons, this line:
use CGI::Carp "fatalsToBrowser";
in mojo.cgi has been commented out. DNS lookups would return a Software Error, even when the DNS lookup succeeded.
It is still suggested that if you have problems configuring the script that you uncomment this line FOR TESTING PURPOSES and then, comment it again.
small formatting bug fixed in ``need_to_login'' error screen
password changes are now confirmed when a new password has to be sent out to the list owner.
passwords saved in the browser's cookie are now encrypted much stronger using CipherSaber encryption
The Return-Path Header Can now be set on a list basis.
Lots of things. Too many to remember.
There's a new module, called MOJO::Template::Widgets for making widgets. All it has now
is a subroutine called list_popup_menu() That'll give you a select box for all the
lists. This is used throughout the site and previously, ever instance had slightly different
code. No more!
Test messages were being archived in some instances. no more!
The SMTP option sometimes couldn't be set. No more!
Some HTML Sybtax errors have been fixed.
Some email messages were being sent blank. No more!
There's a new variable in the Config.pm file called:
$DEFAULT_ADMIN_SCREEN
set to:
$MOJO_URL.'?flavor=send_email';
perhaps you can figure out what it does.
There was a report that if the root password is left blank or is commented out in the Config.pm file, you can log into ANY list using a blank password. The documentation specifically says that if the root password is left blank, this password is disabled. This should now be the case.
The outside config file-getter, MOJO::Config::_config_import was making use of the getpwuid Perl function, which isn't supported in a WinNT environment. There is now a check to see if the script is infact in a WinNT environment and only uses this function if it isn't.
add() so you don't have to cut and paste in everything
the [subscriber_email] should work now.
print_out_list List::* wasn't allowing you to pass the filehandles for any of the SQL's
added a new method in MOJO::MailingList::Subscribers
write_plaintext_list()
write_plaintext_list() will write your subscriber list in a plain text format and return the filename. What's the point? It makes sense if you're using on of the List::*SQL's as the subscriber database. mojo::send_list_to_admin was just using the subscription list name and sending that, well, that isn't around when you're using a SQL backend.
in MIME::Lite, set both $PARANOID and $QUIET to '1' in hopes that errors it's throwing will stop, even though they shouldn't be throwin' the errors.
fingers crossed.
exists does work correctly on some of the DB File formats. took one instance of 'exists' out and changed it to defined, which should be alright
turned off the check_setup() list directory test for WinNT folk. Beware! I don't
know why the stat() file tests aren't working, I guess they're not implemented as
well on WinNT systems ?
tweaked mojo_send.pl to look at the Cc header instead of CC
'mail_group_message_to_poster' and 'add_reply_to' checkboxes should 'stick' or 'unstick' now
in mojo.cgi::mojo_send_options()
The Config.pm file now checks a an absolute path instead of a file handle to see if there's a outside config file.
you are using an outside config file, aren't you?
Added documentation for the multiple_subscribe mini script
The Config.pm.pdf link should be fixed in the docs
added the following mime thingies to the Config.pm file:
'.doc' => 'application/msword',
'.xls' => 'application/x-msexcel',
'.ppt' => 'application/x-mspowerpoint',
'.mp3' => 'application/octet-stream',
'.mov' => ' video/quicktime',
cookies are set with a path of '/' since some servers where actually setting the wrong path
line 129 in mojo_send.pl was missing 'new'
my $mh = MOJO::Mail::Send->new(\%list_info);
Guts::check_for_double_email should obey whatever $Config::EMAIL_CASE is set to.
send_back_email() sub:
425: To => $From_address,
changed to:
425: To => $From_address->address,
a few other places like this were changed as well.
added a Mojofied FormMail script to the distro.
fixed a bug in mojo_stats.pl pertaining to the list_option_form() that's now
called via an OO interface.
default() is called in
mojo.cgi, should stop lots of people from getting a Server Error when they try
to make a list in a dir that doesn't exist.
MIME_HUSH is actually implemented! (wow!)
There is PDF version of the Config.pm docs... Just because I have a Mac and I can.
Stylesheet applied to docs
More docs written
Southpark == funny tonight
327: $mh->do_not_send_to([@To_addresses]);
in Mail.pm, the List-Headers should work correctly again.
lists were getting escaped twice when making subscription/unsubscription links - this has been fixed
black lists were only working for the first black listing, this only seems to have problems with PlainText.pm, this has been fixed.
new list passwords were NOT being created when a list owner asks for a new one, something got clobbered, this is fixed.
the list's shortname was used in a whole bunch of places where the list_name should have been used. This has been fixed.
the functions, user_error() and check_list_security() have been moved into Guts.pm, along with my roommates who 'forget' to pay the @home bill
I don't know why I created this, but the Admin Control Panel is now, (get this) plugin-able
You can now, with just a bit of moxy, roll your own Admin Control Panel Screen to do just, about, anything. There are two examples in mojo/scripting_examples/admin_plugins/ One is useless, but gives you a good overview on how this all works, the other one allows you to all your list settings This is fantastic, cause now more specific features can be created, without bogging down the piggy mojo.cgi script. This is a good thing. I wonder if anyone will make any...
working good. perhaps I'll make an installation one too!
The distro shouldn't have those annoying '.DS_Store' files, thanks to the new make_distro thing I made
The Config.pm is now set up to read from a outside config file, so people don't have to redo the Config.pm file everytime they want to upgrade. yes. you are welcome. it's set to read the config file at $ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/mojo_config
if you need to change that, change it in the Config.pm file, I suggest your home directory and then .mojo_config I have to do some research on how you find a home directory via a CGI script. Any help == welcome
this file can have any $variables, @arrays or %hashes that are in the Config.pm file except things that are between BEGIN {} brackets. Those cannot be changed after runtime, sorry.
the config file can be as simple as:
$MOJO_ROOT_PASSWORD = 'pa$$word';
$FILES = '/home/account/mojo_lists';
$MAILPROG = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$MOJO_URL ='http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/mojo/mojo.cgi';
added the '$TMP' variable to the Config.pm file for temporary file... stuff.
There's a new variable in the Config.pm file, called $PLAIN_TEXT_ENCODING which has been set to 8bit by default.
added the '%LIST_SETUP_OVERRIDES' hash to the Config.pm to override any set list pref.
added the 'mail_group_message_to_poster' setting
cleanup of mojo_send.pl a bit
mojo_send.pl should now recognize if you send to a list using the CC: header
MIME::Type.pm and MIME::Types.pm have been added to the distro
list_invite() function, $mh->bulk_send is spelled correctly.
in Mail.pm the do_not_send_to method should work
added the 'add_sendmail_f_flag' pref to allow you to add the -f flag to the $MAIL_SETTINGS variable in sendmail sending
MOJO::Mail::Send::clean_headers takes off extra newlines from the ends of mail headers
pray that fixes that mojo_send.pl send problem
All Config variables are in UPPERCASE
all modules now are in MixedCase, CONFIG.pm is now Config.pm
list_type
bulk_test
bulk_start_email
bulk_start_num
do_not_send_to
these take the place of similar-named headers, which really didn't make much sense anyways
usage of:
$fields{send_via_smtp}
has been replaced with:
$self->{list_info}->{send_via_smtp}
$self->{list_info} is set in the new() method:
my $mh = MOJO::Mail::Send->new(\%list_info);
same with:
Strip-Headers (strip_message_headers)
List_Sleep (bulk_sleep_amount)
Bulk_Amount (bulk_send_amount)
List_Batch (enable_bulk_batching)
Batch_Notification (get_batch_notification)
Finished_Notification (get_finished_notification)
new function in MAIL.pm:
_make_list_headers
this function creates the following headers:
Organization
List
List-URL
List-Owner
List-Unsubscribe
List-Subscribe
List-Archive (show_archives)
which means, you don't have to set these anywhere else. This really cleans up some messes in mojo.cgi
new function in MAIL.pm:
_make_general_headers
which (at the moment) makes default headers for:
From Errors-To
and also makes sure they're escaped as in accordance to some hard to read RFC, i'm sure
I'm beginning to put defaults for list stuff in the CONFIG.pm file (what a concept) instead of just peppered everywhere, looks like this right now:
use_pop_before_smtp => 1, smtp_server => $smtp_address, add_reply_to => 1, precedence => 'list', charset => 'English (en) iso-8859-1', content_type => 'text/plain', priority => 3, archive_show_month => 1, archive_show_day => 1, archive_show_year => 1, archive_index_count => 10,
this can really clean up the open_database() function in Guts.pm
MIME::Lite has been upgraded to 2.117
Mail::Address has been upgraded to 1.43
Mail::Bulkmail is still at 2.05 on CPAN, the version of Mail::Bulkmail in the mojo distro has 2 bug fixes that aren't available in the CPAN version (crazy, eh?)
In mojo_send.pl, you can now turn on and off the Reply-To header, weee
took off all Return-Path headers in mojo.cgi and mojo_send.pl cause they're useless (i think)
all Error-To: headers are set to the admin_email
send_announce_email() and send_group_email()
mojo_send.pl now used the new subscribe_link() and unsubscribe_link() functions from Guts.pm
for group mailings, mojo_send.pl does not leave a trail of Re: Re: Re:'s (and there was much rejoicing) it also looks for AW:
I added instructions for sendmail in the mojo_send.pl pod
the List Information screen now shows the list's short name, which is WHAT YOU WANT TO USE FOR mojo_send.pl
bulk_send_bulk_smtp()
Hopefully, this will take some more heft out of the main bulk_send() subroutine
new sub, sub _pop_before_smtp() and with that, POP-before-SMTP Authentication support.
This should help people use an SMTP connection, instead of, *sigh* sendmail
Some of the Net Modules will be bundled in the download
the MAIL object can now have stuff passed to it, like this:
my $mh = MOJO::Mail::Send->new(\%list_info);
_strip_fields()
bulk_send() function,
a new function, called _email_batch_notification has been created to move the
email batch notification stuff out of the bulk_send() function (amazingly enough)
ditto with _email_finished_notification()

still too too many lines...
added a new variable to CONFIG.pm, '$mime_hush' to try and quiet down MIME::Lite, calls the MIME::Lite->quiet() method if set to 1
plain text messages with no attachments are now sent as 'quoted-printable' instead of binary(?)
new function, message_id() in Guts.pm returns an id based on the date.
two new functions in Guts.pm,
subscribe_link() and unsubscribe_link() that return a url to sub and unsub.
also, having the passwords saved as rot13 encrypted didn't go over when you wanted to allow the root password to log into lists, but this is now fixed. Thanks everyone who yelled at me.

seems to make a noticable difference, although my example is still over 70 characters long, This is a cutoff point, at least for terminals.
remove_from_list() subroutine. The routine
now goes something like this:
Create a lock file that will stop anyone from doing what's in between opening this file, and closing this file.
open the list open a temp list
copy over all addresses in the list into the temp list, unless we don't want them anymore
close both lists
#######################
open the temp list, open the list
copy what's in the temp list to the real list.
close the lock file.
If this subroutine is busy, the script will sleep one second, for ten times while waiting for the lock to clear. it gives up after that, and returns 'too busy' - I also added another user_error error that prints that the server is too busy.
=item B<4/4/01>
The unsubscribe feature for the admin side was broken. easy fix, forgot to tell it what list to do the axes in.
I'm also changing the fiule structure a bit to be more unix-centric, all files will be in the mojo directory, like the mojo_extras directory.
I also added the '$mime_paranoid' variable to the CONFIG.pm file to be used with the $MIME::Lite::PARANOID variable in MIME::Lite. From the docs of MIME::Lite:
If true, we won't attempt to use MIME::Base64/MIME::QuotedPrint, even if they're available. Default is false.
That means you don't need the MIME::Base64/MIME::QuotedPrint modules no mo.
I also added the $NPH variable to CONFIG.pm, specifically for Windows servers.
It seems that cookies aren't set or sent back correctly to M$ IIS without no parse
headers turned on. This is done by setting $NPH to one. The only place I'm using this
is in the login() function in the mojo.cgi script, that looks a bit like this:
print $input->redirect( -uri => $location,
-COOKIE => $cookie,
-nph => $NPH,
);
also, added a new 'list invite' feature.
Also, changes made to modules are logged in the modules that are changed, in POD format.
I changed all code that's similar to this:
print "Location:$mojo_url?flavor=change_info&done=1\n\n";
to this:
print $input -> redirect(-uri=>"$mojo_url?flavor=change_info&done=1");
I also added the nph' flag for the redirect when the cooie is being passed to the script, like this:
print $input->redirect( -uri => $location,
-COOKIE => $cookie,
-nph => 1,
);
This seemed to make M$ IIS happier.
in Archive.pm, what used to read
$back = ($stopped_at - ($iterate*2));
is now changed to:
# let see if we're at some weird halfway between point
my $mod_check = $stopped_at % $iterate;
my $fixer;
my $full_stop = $stopped_at;
if($mod_check > 0){
# substract it from the iterate
$fixer = $iterate - $mod_check;
$full_stop += $fixer;
}
$back = ($full_stop - ($iterate*2));
which will give you what you want. and I feel cool.
Change/Tweak log, for Mojo Mail, 2.4.6 beta
my $foo = 0;
my $bar = $foo || "something else";
print $bar;
The abovecode would always say 'something else``
egg on my face.
this fixed a funky bug on the main page people were having (hopefully it fixed it)
I also changed how attachments worked in the control panel, There are two ways they can be done, and I'm keeping it that way, since ones bound to not work for some people, and vice versa. I also added some CONFIG.pm things to customize file attachments:
###################################################################### # .: File Attachments :. # To add an attachment to a list message in Mojo Mail form the control panel, # we have to upload it via the web browser. There's two ways we can do this, # one is to save the information in the $FILES directory and then open it up, # attach it, and then delete it, the other involves some magical qualities of # CGI.pm and MIME::Lite, probably coupled with your server's /temp file, if # you can use it. # setting $attachment_tempfile to '1' uploads, saves, attaches and then deletes # the file, setting it to '0' does it magicaly. I suggest 1, unles you want to # play around with it.
$attachment_tempfile = 1;
###################################################################### # These are the MIME types Mojo Mail understands, the file ending is on # the left, what MIME type it maps to is on the right. feel free to add your own.
%mime_types = ( '.gif' => 'images/gif', '.jpg' => 'image/jpg', '.png' => 'image/png', '.jpeg' => 'image/jpeg', '.pdf' => 'application/pdf', '.pdf' => 'application/psd', '.html' => 'text/html', '.txt' => 'text/plain', );
###################################################################### # In case nothing up there matches what someone is trying to upload, there's # a default MIME type, for a last ditch guess. Some mail readers are #sophisicated enough to figure out what an attachment is without its MIME # type, but don't count on it.
$default_mime_type = 'text/plain';
um, its got more functionality that's for sure. Its actually fuckin awesome. it now has two modes, 'Basic' and 'advanced',
Basic is pretty much the same as what its been, advanced is a whole nother cookie.
In advanced, you're allowed to reset the 'From', 'Reply-To' and 'Errors-To' to your fancy, you can also set the precedence and priority. I also added attachment support for as many attachments as you think your little MTA can handle.
And finally I addd the feature of creating a seperate version of your mailing in Text and/or HTML. You can also say if you want this message to be archived or not from the send a list message form. That's alot of stuff.
With that, i also snuck in support for X-Priority header in MOJO::Mail::Send.pm and also added a select box to Sending Options -> Advanced for a Default Priority.
In group options, I made it a decision to add the [group name] to the beginning of the header, since someone is bound to ask me how to turn that off.
I've also been playing around with the idea of usgin CGI.pm to make my checkboxes in the control panel
It's a whole lot cleaner that what I've been doing, if its less code, I don't know, but it looks cool, and that's what counts :) I have never used the EXP ? true : or_this thingy before, I'd like to report that it works! :)
I added a new function in Guts.pm, called webify_plain_text() -
sub webify_plain_text{
my $string = shift;
$string =~ s/>/\>/g;
$string =~ s/</\</g;
$string =~ s/\n\n/<\/p><p>/gi;
$string =~ s/\n/<br>/gi;
$string = urlify($string);
return $string;
}
kinda makes a string of plain text readable in a browser, cute name eh?
There was also a bug in the MAIL::Bulkmail module, concerning the date, the fix is:
``Go to line 714, this is it:
($diffhour = sprintf("%03d", $hour - $ghour)) =~
s/^0/\+/;
Change it to this:
($diffhour = sprintf("%03d", $diffhour)) =~ s/^0/\+/;
You're just changing the ``$hour - $ghour'' to ``$diffhour'' and that's it. Bug repaired, and even done correctly this time.``
I changed that in the version I bundle, and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new Mail::Bulkmail :)
fixed a small bug in a screen like this: http://mojo.skazat.com/cgi-bin/mojo/mojo.cgi?flavor=subscribe&list=mojo_mailers
where the flavor is set to 'subscribe', there is a list that is real, but there is no email address or pin. The source just ddin't have two hidden HTML field tags:
<input type=hidden name=flavor value=subscribe> <input type=hidden name=list value=$list>
fixed a bug dealing with the archives, some people were having trouble deleting archived messages, all I had to do was reset the $| variable where the delete function was called...
really weird.
fixed a bug in mojo_send.pl when you try to send email to a list that doesn't exist. I noticed that it would email the person trying to send to that list saying 'hey, its not there' and then do it again, and again and...
the problem was that after it sent the error, it would write a warning using
warn() and then die. when the program dies, the mail gets put back into the que to
sent again, where it will die...
the fix was just to put exit() instead of die.
in mojo_send.pl
228 $mh -> send(%mailing);
229 #and we go!
230 warn("Mojo Mail $ver ERROR \- Attempt to
send a list message to an unknown list
($email_list) by means of mojo_send.pl");
231 exit;
