   Ok, I give up. I have searched the forum and the web for help with setting up MailPress but I fear this whole List Management topic is a little beyond me.

   All I want is to set up a simple mailing list for mailing out newsletters. I want people to enter their email address into a subscription form, and then send newsletters to those people.

   I am using MailPress but I am not sure how to configure it, especially the SMTP. My host is dreamhost and I tried mail.mysite.com as well as smtp.mysite.com with my dreamhost login details.

   Here is my subscription page: http://www.persistingstars.com/contact/

   This has to be easier?? What am I missing, or doing wrong?? Can anyone talk me through the SMTP settings? Or point me to a website where I can find more details? (Not enough detailed information on the plugin's website.)

   Many thanks!
   Kerstin

   Well, this is typical. After spending all evening on this and writing this post I finally figured it out!

   For those who are also struggling with this, I basically still had to set up my email client on the host. Once I did that it worked!

   Yes, I know, this is probably the first thing most people would have done, and my only excuse is that I am still fairly new to this :)

   Topic resolved (by myself.)

   also managed to figure it out by myself, it would be nice if there was a active forum for this plugin
