Version 7.0a

Important Upgrade Notes for Linux/PostgreSQL

Do not attempt to upgrade ListManager from a version of PostgreSQL other than 7.1.3. Because of a behavior change in Postgres, attempting to upgrade ListManager when using versions of PostgreSQL other than 7.1.3 will fail. See Technical Requirements for more information about supported operating systems and databases.

Important DNS Information

You may need to change your firewall configuration to allow ListManager to resolve DNS queries. See Ports ListManager Needs Open for more information.

General Improvements

1. A Postgres query that was not running efficiently has been optimized so that it no longer causes problems with ListManager.

2. Mailings with "" as the name in the From: field are no longer accepted unless the email address is permitted to post.

3. ListManager-generated subscribe forms now prevent banned email addresses from joining lists.

4. MIME digests are now sent properly.

Discussion Forum Interface Improvements

1. Discussion Forum Interface now honors the daily message limit for a list, as set in Utilities: List Settings: Discussion Group Features: Message Rejection Rules: Etiquette.

2. Discussion Forum Interface now shows all replies to a message, instead of being limited to ten messages.

3. Discussion Forum Interface now requires that a user provide a name for subscribing if required, as set in Utilities: List Settings: Users' Web Interface: New Subscriber Requirements. If the user is logged in, the Name field will be automatically filled in with the name associated with that user.

Upgrade Improvements

1. For upgrades, the new Keep Mailing and Clickthrough Data for How Many Days setting now defaults to the setting in Utilities: Administration: Server: Server Settings: Automatic Maintenance: Purging Old Data: Clean Outgoing Mail Queue, instead of 5 days.

DNS Engine Improvements

1. ListManager can now recover if it does a DNS lookup of an entry that is maliciously malformed.

2. ListManager no longer improperly warns about the inability to find reverse DNS.

Reports Improvements
