We've been working for months in our secret labs to perfect the next version of Dada Mail - and we couldn't be happier with it. We're ever-so slowly rolling it out and one of the first things we're doing is giving you the opportunity to use it right now, right away when you have an installation done by us.
This new version of Dada Mail I'm speaking of includes support for the elusive, "Multiple Subscriber Fields" feature and we think you'll be happy with it and the rest of Dada Mail.
Here's the installation request form and details

Interesting article on Google over at MSNBC:
Encourage creativity. Google engineers can spend up to 20 percent of their time on a project of their choice. There is, of course, an approval process and some oversight, but basically we want to allow creative people to be creative. One of our not-so-secret weapons is our ideas mailing list: a companywide suggestion box where people can post ideas ranging from parking procedures to the next killer app. The software allows for everyone to comment on and rate ideas, permitting the best ideas to percolate to the top.
(emphasis: mine)
This use of an, "ideas" mailing list can be used for your own business - large or small. (hat tip: David Kaufman)

Heya,
Currently, dadamail.org isn't resolving - I don't know why. The registrar is Network Solutions and they tell me to contact customer service, which I'm sure will be lovely. Going to do that on Monday. Wish me luck.
Spread the word - if you can't get the dadamail.org, just use http://mojo.skazat.com, which is what it redirects too, anyways,
Thanks for your patience.
Cheers,
Justin

According to this, Dada Mail is #10 in, "vitality" on Freshmeat. Freshmeat is a site that announces new releases of open source software.
I guess this is sort of interesting - like #1 is Linux, which Dada Mail isn't going to surpass any time soon; some of the projects above Dada Mail are, Apache, the webserver that most of the internet is running off of and MySQL a popular SQL server.
There are about 40,000 projects registered in Freshmeat - so there you go, if we were in highschool, we'd be the quarter back of the JV team, dating the second-prettiest cheerleader, instead of reading computer books in psych. class. Revenge of the nerds!
Update: 9/13/05 Michiel Dethmers, of PHPList fame, hat-tipped me to the fact that PHPList was #11 on the same list, that PHPList is on version 2.10.1 (Dada's on 2.10), both our releases were on the same day (9/12/05) and that our initial Freshmeat announcements were 4 months apart, way back in 2000.
As a fan of Collective Unconsciousness, coincidence, the tricksters and Carl Jung, I thought it was worth noting these spooky things.

Although I'm not affiliated with Textdrive, they probably have one of the brightest ideas when it comes to hosting: have some of the best authors of Open Source programs for websites affiliated and employed by the hosting company itself. Again - brilliant.
They're currently offering lifetime hosting for a one time fee - which is an incredible deal. If I was you, I'd jump on it. I've personally found Dada Mail wonderfully compatible with their hosting setups and these guys are very incredibly reactive to support requests.
Anyways, here's the skinny. And read their faq, the numbers they state are actually what they give you. Nice.

According to Sourceforge, we've hit 100,000 all-time downloads! We started using Sourceforge to host our Downloads in April of 2002, so (and pardon my horrible math), that's about 90 downloads a day! And yeah!

At the moment, Dada Mail is the most popular application in the, "Mailing List Server" category, with an activity percentile of 99.86% - having the 189th highest activity ranking. These numbers are in constant flux, but it's nice to be on top for the time being.
Similar packages that are very near Dada Mail in its ranking included Mailman and PHPList.
