Note that I discovered a possible bug: when you make a list that is inactive/for internal use only, and set it to be initially checked, it does not get checked for new subscribers.

Postmen would be fired if they would put mail in a garbage can. If you send a snailmail, you get it back if it is undeliverable, provided it has a return address listed. Likewise, the server returns a message to the WordPress server in case of failure. The plugin currently does nothing in case delivery it not allowed or not possible. It may not be a bug but it’s the plugin’s task to let the end user know about this failure. Right now, all the plugin does is sending mails by calling the WordPress or PHP mail function and discarding any returned values.

My hosting provider does not offer a log or stats overview for mails, so I am completely in the dark as to whether or not my mails are sent.

This is a serious bug. I accidentally lost a lot of subscribers due to this. Please pick this up!

I agree this is not a bug, but if for some reason the server policy changes or if there is another reason why an e-mail cannot be sent (such as due to the PHP execution time limit or server issues for particular e-mails) then it would be hugely convenient to have a log of errors to pinpoint the culprit. Currently, I believe such errors are not in the log file, and the log file is also not easily accessible (would be nice if it would be on the WordPress interface). It is very important to trust that e-mails are actually sent.

Thanks, maybe you could document this better. Along with other pages that are not documented.
