Introduction to Dada Mail – Video Primer
On 1/13/18 CAHNRS IT retired the Lyris email list manager, and stood up a replacement list manager called Dada Mail. The primary reason to retire Lyris was due to increasing costs. While Lyris had been increasing in cost year over year for some time, the most recent renewal, a 300% increase, was untenable. Despite the short time frame, we decided the best course of action was to retire Lyris and begin testing alternatives. After installing and testing PHPlist, Dada Mail, and Group Server, it was determined that Dada Mail provided the functionality most used by CAHNRS mailing lists.
To facilitate the migration to the new list manager we have migrated the lists that were in Lyris to the new system. However, because of differences in the list managers, some action is necessary on the part of list owners to complete the migration. In Lyris each list owner had a user account and could administer multiple lists with a single login. In Dada Mail, each list has a list password which grants access to the administrative interface for the distribution list, and each list has a collection of subscribers or recipients. In order to facilitate the migration to the new system, we need each list owner to submit a support request through our support portal at https://support.it.cahnrs.wsu.edu or by emailing cit.support@wsu.edu with the following information:
- The name of your mailing list.
- The email addresses of your authorized senders OR tell us you want your list to be a discussion list that all members can send to.
Update 1/19/2018 5:13pm – You do not need to send us the members/subscribers of your mailing list. The lists and their members have been moved, we just need to know who the official owner is and give them the list password.
Once submitted, you will first receive the list password, allowing you to login at http://lists.cahnrs.wsu.edu/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/admin and begin sending mailings to your list. Next, if you requested the ability to send messages via email you will be notified when your list is ready to receive email based messages and that the list of authorized senders has been put in place.
Note that there are two outstanding functionality limitations that we are currently working to resolve:
- Messages sent for distribution to the list by email is currently being blocked by WSU’s spam mail service, Proof Point. This prevents recipients with WSU addresses from receiving messages sent to the list by email. We are actively working with ITS to resolve this issue, but in the mean time if your distribution list is internal to WSU we recommend sending messages from the web interface. Until then, if your list includes WSU email addresses, please use the web interface to send messages.
- We currently have a support request with the vendor regarding attachments on messages sent from the web interface not properly uploading.
As we work to resolve these issues we will update this post.
Lastly, we have begun a FAQ at https://wiki.cahnrs.wsu.edu/wiki/79/dada-mail-faq. As we receive questions we will expand our FAQ, and work to provide information on the new features available.
Update 1/18/2018 8:43am
Here is a list of Lyris mailing lists to help with submitting your request.
