if I have a server linux, and use for example phplist is possible
to send newsletter in a safely mode, delivered and not how spam

the dfault php mail function isn't good?
is necessary smtp ?
if smtp is better, how to set an own smtp server, the default configuration
isn't good?

I not need big traffic; 5000-10000(at moment) emails/month is sufficient
but would like know if I is possible

to do directly with php mail function, or with smtp or
if is mandatory to use mailchimp


Isn't possible to use php mail function or have a smtp server with good
configuration that can to do all the

work instead of mailchimp or similar?

Depends on the spam rules at the receiving MTA, some don't do much spam
filtering, others are quite strict and even drops the mail without
notifying the sender nor the person to whom the mail was sent to.

It works fine. Just see to that the mail don't have what the receiving
MTA thinks i spam.


> is necessary smtp ?

yes.

There are loads of howto's how to install different MTA on your own
server. Default settings works for sending mail, just receiving which
default disabled.

That is quite many mails for a small mail list, over 300 a day. The send
amount depends on your bandwidth. If you send spam, then prepare on
getting up to 1200 notifications a day that you couldn't send the mail.


If you want just a serious mail list, there are mailman, but do not add
users just for you think it's relevant for them, as this is illegal in
many countries and you will most likely be blacklisted too.

set up e.g, exim on your linux.

php mail() will then use that.
I have done this but it is not a trivial exercise.

Ids your linux system domestic or virtual host?

It's never *mandatory* to use *anything*.

The php mail() function is OK, but has its limitations. There are other
PHP APIs such as phpmailer, which is much more flexible.

You can set up your own smtp server, but that's not a PHP problem. You
would need to check on what's available for your server.

As for being regarded as SPAM - again, not a PHP problem. Check some of
the email-related groups to get hints on how to get your email through
without it being considered SPAM.

Amazingly, I find that not sending spam helps.
