We, the phplist developers, agree with this:

mibcons wrote:I have looked at the LOGO and have thought about it. I gladly leave it there. When I drive my Truck it says with big letters GMC, My car says Mercury and my Van says Ford. I paid for those items, this one is for free (donations seems to be welcomed)

Honour where honour is due.

But since there seem to be some issues with junk filters let me explain:

Most filters work by scoring your email. Every suspected property will get points and if the mail reaches a threshold it will be marked as junk. So if most phplist users have little problem with rejected mails and some have a lot, the latter are probably exhibiting suspicious behaviour.

Since we don't want to help junk mailing, we leave the logo in. It can be replaced by a line of text in the config. If you think you're mail is marked junk undeservedly send a copy of that email to us (use the 'info' user at this domain), and we might change our opinion on this subject. Apart from this it is GPL open source and you can find how to remove it in the forums.

If I donate can I remove the text?

Just to weigh in... I have had users complain about the logo. They think that it means that the notes are not really from my company somehow.

I agree in giving credit where it is due, especially with free software.

That being said, I'd gladly pay for a version of phplist with all logos/credits removed.

That way, casual users can use the free version and help spread the word on this great program and business users can pay (a nice $ way to support the program) for the ability to automatically have all credits removed.

Seems like the folks at phplist and the customers would win both ways.

Nice!! Thanx man!!

I have no problem providing credit and I am happy to leave the full PHP pages for the subscribe, unsubscribe pages. That provides almost a "third party" integrity to those pages and I like that all of it is built in with defaults that work. However, any issues with undelivered mail defeats the purpose of the software to begin with, which is to make sure that it gets to people who want it. When the attached picture name shows up, it appears to be the dominant thing in a MAC mail display - just not right. And if there is any chance the text link will make the mail not get to users, I don't want it there.

Thanks very much to the person who posted how to take care of the issues.

You're deluding yourselves.

prove to us them
i dont have had any trouble with my instalations.
even running spam filters on my inbox

My anti-spam got it as Spam, with this explanation:
"Image links to probably fraudulent server (phplist.com)"
, So I would remove that line yes.

Works for html mail but not for plain text mail. I commented out where previously submitted and ran a test email. Had both plain text and html mail sent. Plain text still shows link to phplist. Html email does not.
Anywhere else to comment out?

I didn't test it yet, but search for that line

Code: Select all

$text["signature"] = "\n\n--\nPowered by PHPlist, www.phplist.com --\n\n";

in file "sendemaillib.php" and comment it out.
In fact, you can try to comment everything concerning "signature" in that file.

hi bichenoubi,

It works!. Thank you!

Just wanted to thank you for the info provided here about removing the image attachment on the e-mails.
I understand why you have it. I followed the advice here to go into the config file and insert the '1' instead of the '0' s.
Thank you.
Tom

me too and have just sussed this out

under config.php file select option under the Feedback >>> developers section >>> remove the PHPList images in the html emails and public webpages . Set both options to 1 and you'll end up with just a text link credit to PHP/TinCan .

hope this helps

Hi to everyone!

My question instead is: ...and what about to get PHPlist footer image centered in my emails lowest part?

Which *.php line file do I adjust?

Sorry for my newbie questions! ..and for my english too!

Thanks in advance!

When viewing the HTML source of the subscribe page, you'll see the postition of the logo is deternined by a CSS class called "bottom".

So, try editing lists/styles/phplist.css and change the .bottom class to something like this:

Code: Select all

.bottom {font-family: verdana, sans-serif;font-size : 10px; font-weight : bold; padding: 2px; padding-left:20px; text-align : center;}
