DadaMail is a powerful and flexible email marketing software that allows you to create, send and manage email campaigns, newsletters and announcements. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install DadaMail on Kali Linux Latest.
Before proceeding, you need to have the following:
To install DadaMail on Kali Linux, you need to install some required packages. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-perl2 libmail-sendmail-perl libpdf-api2-perl libsoap-lite-perl libtemplate-perl libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl libcrypt-cbc-perl
Next, you need to download the latest version of DadaMail from their official website using the following command:
wget https://dadamailproject.com/d/install_dada_mail.pl
Once the download is complete, you need to extract the DadaMail files using the following command:
perl install_dada_mail.pl --install_location=/var/www/html/dada_mail
Here, we are installing DadaMail in the /var/www/html/dada_mail directory, which is the default directory for web pages on Apache web server.
After extracting the files, you need to set permissions for the DadaMail files as follows:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/dada_mail
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/dada_mail
This will give the Apache user ownership of the DadaMail files and set the required file permissions.
Now, you need to configure the Apache Web server to run DadaMail. Open the Apache configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
Alias /dada_mail "/var/www/html/dada_mail/cgi-bin/dada_mail.cgi"
<Location "/dada_mail">
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
</Location>
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, and then ENTER.
After configuring Apache, you need to restart Apache server for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Finally, you can access the DadaMail web interface using a web browser.
Navigate to http://<your-server-IP>/dada_mail where <your-server-IP> is the IP address of your Kali Linux machine.
You will be prompted to enter your admin email address and password. After providing the necessary credentials, you will be logged in to the DadaMail dashboard.
If you followed the steps described in this tutorial, you should now have DadaMail up and running on your Kali Linux Latest machine. You can now use it to create, send and manage email campaigns, newsletters and announcements.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
