Mass Mails configuration PHPlist

Can not figure out how to send out mass emails with world news ii template. Recently sent out mass mails which were rejected by server so I am looking at PHPlist as a way to get emails out to large mass mailing list. Are the following settings correct for using PHPlist for mass mailing from website? I use google mail - mx records point domain towards google mail using same website name ie [email protected]. Is the following configuration correct when using PHPlist? will SMTP port = 25 identify my emails as spam? Is there a better program than PHPlist to use with joomla site?

Mail Settings:
Mailer *: PHP Mail (instead of SMTP or Sendmail)
From email: contact@website
From Name: website
Sendmail Path: /usr/sbin/sendmail
SMTP Authentication: Yes
SMTP Security: None (instead of TTL or SSL)
SMTP Port *: 25
SMTP Username: nothing entered
SMTP Password: nothing entered
SMTP Host: localhost

Hi

I've been using mass mail before and had no problems with it. All I can think of is that it was misconfigured or server do not allow using it. This is a standard joomla function so please also check this issue on joomla forums.

PS: I'm using ACYmailer extension for newsletter.

Thanks.

Hi

I can just hop that what I write help You.

I installed the free version of ACYMailing. What I don't know is in global settings should be PHP or SMTP? Should I use a port 25 or leave that blank? SMTP authentification Yes or No? I think I can figure out the rest. Thanks for your help.

Hi

In most cases port 25 is ok and SMTP auth set to ON, but this is dependable from server, so Your host provider will be more helpful than me.
