MySQL and Dada Mail

[Artmageddon]

I'm using MySQL (I believe 3.23) as a backend for Dada Mail. What I want to have happen is I want to be able to create new mailing lists which are stored in the database. The way I have it set up right now is that it saves it to a folder on my file system, which I have chmod'ed as 777. I don't want to be able to give anyone read/write/execute permissions, especially to something as global as 777.

I just want the mailing list information to be accessible in the database. I know I have my mailing list setup correctly, because I'm able to create lists and access them from the local filesystem. I've also filled in all the variables required by the Config.pm file to look at the different database attributes.

Anyone have any clues? This is really frustrating :(

Did you actually get Dada to work with MySQL? I continue to get internal server errors whenever it tres to access the subscriber tables, so I'm assuming it's the way I have my Config.pm setup for MySQL.

I've copied/pasted the SQL to create the tables.

The MySQL attibutes in Config.PM have everything filled out correctly - leaving port blank.

To move the mailing list to MySQL you - or the author - would have to modify a lot of code. For now I think we're stuck with a file based list.

By the way I think you can probably play with those directory permissions in Config.pm - should work with 644
