Good stuff
by Tim Sparks - Sep 14th 2005 15:40:47
This is good! I've just installed it on our band website and it beats the
socks off the previous mailing list software I had (newspro). I'm fairly
new to the whole PHP lark, but I got it installed with very little trouble
- the only problems I had were with multiple passwords and usernames for
the databases, directories and access - due to my memory rather than the
program! The only thing I'd say initially is that it's tricky to customize
the public pages. I want to keep the images and links provided, but I'd
like to change the style and colours to fit in with the rest of our site...
but I'm still fiddling with this at the moment.
In general, so far it's excellent!
Cheers!
Tim

Powerful script
by Mark - Sep 14th 2005 01:54:05
An industrial strength newsletter manager with multiple subscription pages
, templates and email formats. Requires some effort to understand all the
functionality but definitely worth it. Developer is committed and
responsive. A great product!

Great Script!
by Aaron - Sep 13th 2005 11:18:44
Its the best program of its kind out there. I use it on two sites with
users in the multiple thousands. I am about to install it on a third site.
It took me a little while to get to know the script, but now I couldn't
imagine using anything else.
Thanks to Michael for putting in the time and hard work to make such a
useful and powerful program!

I'm very happy with my PHPlist product!
by Beau - Sep 13th 2005 08:07:34
I've never posted a comment about any of the software I
use, most of which are open-source products. But I want to
thank the developer for PHPlist and tell others to check it
out. It's easy to use and install/upgrade and with the new
click-through features, it's even more powerful. I've used
other newsletter products such as Constant Contact and
IntelliContact and PHPlist is far better in my opinion. I've not
had the high bouncing problems that I had with Constant
Contact or IntelliContact. Thank you for a fine product!

Excellent Work
by Mike Gifford - Sep 13th 2005 05:42:09
phpList has been a best of breed eNewsletter application for years. It is
an excellent OpenSource tool that continues to evolve and adapt to the
needs of its users. The adoption of phpList in applications like Drupal/CivicSpace indicates how much this
type of tool is needed by the community. The strength of this application
isn't just in its ability to send thousands of emails to your supporters,
but also to give them the flexibility in how those users want to receive
those newsletters. Being able to send personalized text, html email
messages or both to interested parties isn't easy, particularly if you want
users to be able to view it in a wide assortment of email cleints.
Keep up the good work Michiel!

No problems encountered - great software
by Pedro - Sep 13th 2005 04:11:40
I didn't encounter any problems installing and configuring the software.
Since my provider upgraded the servers, it works even better, sending
hundreds of mails with one click.
Thanks for sharing your code with the world!

I like it a lot
by Duncan Turnbull - Sep 12th 2005 20:21:55
I use 2.8.12 to send out 10s of thousands of emails each week
to customers and it is very effective. I really appreciate the
effort put in here.
Its been very stable and powerful for me. Well done Michiel!
Cheers Duncan

by stigallbart - Sep 8th 2005 08:48:42
Used this before, had to fix all kinds of stuff to get it to work. Got the
newest version this week set it up and its just full of problems, confusing
at to what works and does not. Good feature set but bad implementation dont
wear yourself out on it.

Good design yet buggy
by LRdM - Aug 31st 2003 17:35:56
While the outstanding design and features list got my attention, I was
greatly discouraged by the number of bugs that plagued my installation.
Once I realized that I had to go in and apply a number of my own patches, I
decided to give up. Despite the claims that this version is register
globals off compatable, I had to implement far too many patches so any
non-admin users could use any features and there were issues with the
import feature, the primary reason I tried this script. Perhaps I will try
again after more development.

That's great. In order to speed things up, you could consider submitting a
few bugreports. The system would never even have reached the current state
if it hadn't been for a large number of contributors who identified issues
that have been fixed since. That's one of the reasons that the link to
"help" doesn't explain how to *get* help, but explains how to help out.

Re: Good design yet buggy
by Duncan Turnbull - Sep 12th 2005 20:32:37
I haven't had to patch any bugs in 2.8.12, just configs. You
end up patching things if you want it to work differently but
then you should pass that back so others can benefit.
I have had register globals off and don't see the issues
people are talking about. I suspect its just the getting started
process requires some setup which you should spend some
time on, especially if the end result is emailing lots of
people. Thats not something you want to get wrong. If
people have issues the forums provide a great answer point

Looks great... but...
by Christian Jensen - Jun 5th 2003 18:14:19
I got all the way up to the admin setup of the database and it said that I
needed to have "Register Globals" turned on in my PHP... I got up
and ran.
Why the hell would that still be a requirement? As soon as I found out
that Register Globals was a security hazard I have stopped using them...
isn't it about time?
