Installation - System Requirements Admin System Requirements Operating System - The system can be running Windows, Mac, or a Linux GUI. FTP Client - A program to connect to your web host and transfer files. (required) Text Editor - A program, like Notepad, to edit simple text files. (required) Internet Explorer or FireFox- Sadly, ListMail is not yet as well tested on other browsers. (highly recommended) Web Host Requirements ListMail doesn't need much more than a reliable, supportive, web host to run properly. It will run on both shared and dedicated servers. The following are the minimum and recommended requirements for installing and running ListMail. Operating System - Linux is recommended but ListMail will also run on a Windows or Mac host, providing they support PHP and MySQL. PHP/MySQL - Your web hosting plan should specifically indicate whether or not your site supports PHP scripting and MySQL databases. (required) SMTP Server - Your host should allow you to connect to and send email from their server. (highly recommended) "Cron" Task Scheduler - Scheduled programs set to run (linux-only). If these are not available, or you are on a Windows-based system, you can run a task from your admin system. (highly recommended) Email Aliases - Required to forward email to CGI scripts for on-the-fly bounced message processing and signup by blank email. (highly recommended) Additional Notes There is no limit to the number of users you can have for a list. Server performance starts becoming an issue when you have extremely large numbers of users, though. Sometimes, tweaks are necessary to get things running smoothly. If you have a smaller list, under 50,000, you should have few performance problems even in a shared hosting environment. If you have a list with over 100,000 users it is recommended that you obtain a dedicated server. It is *always* recommended that you ask your host if they have limitations on the amount of email you can send. Some hosts restrict the number of emails you can send on a per hour or per day basis, which is not at all optimal for ListMail. You need a host with no limitations on email.
