Dada Mail is a popular mailing list management software that allows you to send out newsletters, announcements, and other types of email messages to your subscribers. If you are using Debian Latest, this guide will walk you through the steps required to install Dada Mail on your server.
Before you begin with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step in the installation process is to install the required dependencies. You can do this by running the following command:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget zip unzip sendmail libmail-sendmail-perl lynx

Next, you need to download the latest version of Dada Mail from the official website. You can do this by running the following command:
wget https://dadamailproject.com/d/Download_Dada_Mail.cgi -O dadamail.zip
This will download the latest version of Dada Mail and save it as a compressed ZIP file named dadamail.zip.
Once you have downloaded Dada Mail, you need to extract it from the ZIP file. You can do this by running the following command:
unzip dadamail.zip -d /opt/
This will extract Dada Mail into the /opt/ directory.
After extracting Dada Mail, you need to configure it before you can start using it. You can do this by running the following command:

./bin/dada_config.pl
This command will launch the Dada Mail configuration wizard. Follow the prompts to configure Dada Mail according to your needs.
Once you have configured Dada Mail, you can start using it by running the following command:
