Mailist has some Ajax under the hood, which makes it possible for a seamless signup process without having to reload the page. It stores emails in a text document that can be downloaded as plain text or csv to Excel.

It has some pretty nifty features like customizable email header/footer, email backup, sent emails, and, obviously, the ability to send an email to the whole list.

Mailist is a simple applications that could be especially helpful when launching a new website and you want to inform visitors when you’re online.

Organize users into an unlimited amount of lists and create unlimited amount of subscribe pages. Harness the full power of PHPList by editing the config.php file. In there you can set how many emails to send out per hour, or set it to unlimited to really get your servers CPU pumping! I found that sending out a few hundred emails (100-200) every ten or so seconds works best.

While your in the config file don’t forget to enable usertracking. After enabling it in the config file, add “[USERTRACK]” to any email you send out (add it to your template so you don’t have to do it every time).This will track the number of hits each email you send our receieves, the % of emails opened/closed, what links were clicked on and more. The array of features for PHPList is rather long, so feel free to view a complete list here.

In conclusion, PHPList will surely quench your newsletter thirst.
