 * Just wanted to note some experiences of this plug-in in case it’s helpful to 
   someone.
 * I couldn’t find any substantial English documentation; some of the tabs in the
   codex actually link to a different plugin and the author’s site is mostly in 
   Italian.
 * Gave it a try anyway and found that there was an error something along the lines
   of “unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION class.phpmailer.php” No problem
   though, changed from PHP4 to PHP5 and this error was resolved.
 * Unfortunately as far as I can see this plug-in doesn’t have a sign up form so
   the only ways to put people on the list seems to be
    – manual entry – importing
   from comments – importing from WP users.
 * Cheers.

 * Hi Zodzilla!
    Sorry for the bad documentation, i am really busy in these days
   but i have to write a new english documentation about Sendit and also a new version
   with some news features (scheduling, cron, etc). The problem you wrote is exactly
   what i told on my italian blog: Sendit works only with php 5 (there is no reason
   to enhance features to work with php 4) but i saw manyu people still using Php
   4 (probably they have to switch php version from their hosting panel) to make
   it work. Thanks!

 * Hi friends!
 * There is an error in the italian po file:
    `Sei sicuro di voler cancellare la
   lista %? Cancellerai tutti i dati e gli iscritti!` Should be: `Sei sicuro di 
   voler cancellare la lista d%? Cancellerai tutti i dati e gli iscritti!` (attention
   to %d) I’ve traslated the plugin to Spanish, in case anyone need it, but some
   texts don’t change in the plugin (most texts from SMTP section, for example) 
   and in my case, the plugin DOESN’T work, with WP 2.9.2 and PHP 5.1.6 in the server.
   I mean, everything works **except **sending the emails. It doesn’t shows any 
   error but an OK message instead, but the mails don’t get to their destinations.
   I’m using the default mail() function. But other plugins in the same site, for
   suscription to digest for example, DO work, so I suppose something is wrong in
   the code. 😕 Anyway, you’re doing a great job, and my contribution is the Spanish
   translation in case you want it. 🙂

 * Hi all,
 * could anyone explain how i can modify the script(s) so after someone register
   to receive my newsletter, i receive an email. I tried to chance the code of submit.
   php
 * //notifica a admin
    $mail->ClearAddresses(); $mail->AddAddress($templaterow->
   email_lista); $mail->AddAddress(‘adminsblog@gmail.com’); $mail->Subject = $admin_mail_message;
   $mail->AltBody = __(‘New subscriber for your newsletter: ‘, ’sendit’).get_bloginfo(‘
   blog_name’); // optional, comment out and test $mail->MsgHTML($_POST[’email_add’].
   __(‘ subscribe to your mailing list: ‘).get_bloginfo(‘url’)); $mail->Send(); 
   endif;
 * as i am not a php programmer i haven’t got a clue how to modify the script(s)?
 * thanks in advance

 * I just wanted to note that I’m having the same experience with the same versions
   WP and PHP. I’ve tried both using the default mail() function and my web host’s
   smtp settings. No errors. As far as the admin is concerned, the emails appear
   to have send. None reach their destination address, though.

 * It doesn’t work (1.4.6, php 5, WP 2.9.2, using gmail). No message: just freeze
   my site. I need to stop the plugin and clear my cache to go back normal.

 * Guys finally i understand the problem of missing “emails” loose in the middle
   of noware.
    99% of hosting providers limits emails x hours to 100 or something
   like this so, going over those limits can BLOCK your email traffic (hostgator
   do this, thiswebhos do this) so mail SENT are loose. I create a PRO version of
   Sendit, should be useful for everyone cause it’s a newsletter scheduler allows
   you to decide batched emails block, and interval in seconds between sending. 
   I decide to sell it at the small price of 20 eur. It works with Sendit (1.5.4)
   and he has a tracker to see how many readers read your newsletters, cron jobs,
   and newsletter will be stored as post / pages (it’s a custom post type so you
   need wordpress 3) Let me know! [http://sendit.wordpressplanet.org](http://sendit.wordpressplanet.org)
