I definitely recognize the need (of a few people) to prevent spoofing unsubscribe mails. You are also correct that having a confirmation would be the best way to do this. It is on a list of medium-difficult tasks to try and tackle. > Seriously, I'm a fan of LetterRip, but its development roadmap leaves > a lot to be desired.

The scrolling log window is something that I likely won't be solving unless I switch technologies used in the admin. The admin is a CFM application that is using late-90's text editing capabilities. Letterrip 3 did a slightly better job of getting placement right in the log window. When it came down to it, I couldn't figure out the logic well enough to do better in Letterrip 4. As Eric mentioned in his reply, I would suggest using the console app or the command line tool "tail". They work better than the admin window does and place less load on the server. > The "Server configuration" window has never shown me any > details about list settings except > ----- Settings for list APC-Newsletter ----- > ----- Settings for list Charles Village Discussion ----- > etc, which makes me wonder what it's _supposed_ to do (which I can't > find out because there's no documentation for 4.x).

As Eric alluded to, adding features to Letterrip isn't a high priority for me. I have a chicken and egg problem. Sales are very, very low. There is IMO, less of a market for mailing list managers today than there was when it was first introduced in 1996. I am 100% positive that I could double or even triple sales with a bit more effort but it would literally take 10-15x the current clip to make me think about quitting my day job. I don't believe that is possible. Lot's of people have day jobs and publish software on the side. In the last year, I've taken a new role at work that has me very, very busy. It's seriously cut into the things that I had planned for Letterrip (daemon support which required networking code rewrite, better support for "mail merge" support, etc.). Making things a little more difficult is that for the first time in my life, I am writing Windows code rather than Mac code. This shouldn't be considered an excuse for fixing bugs and low-impact items. I absolutely will do my best to fix those sorts of things. -- This message is from the Letterrip-Talk Mailing list.
