**FCKEditor** - some notes on setting up the FCKEditor upload directory
FCKEditor, an HTML editor included with the PHPlist distribution archive, is a tool used in PHPList to create and edit email messages. It will also allow you to upload images to the PHPList directory on your website, which can then be linked to from within your messages. Forum posts suggest there is some confusion on how to do this. By default, after installing PHPList, FCKEditor will allow you to link to an image on your site when you click on the image icon. But it will not let you upload an image till you have created the upload directory and set the write permissions. To enable this:
~- Create a folder in your PHPList root directory called uploadimages (or whatever the **FCKIMAGES_DIR** is set to in your config.php file).
~- Change the permissions of this folder to allow write access ("chmod 777 uploadimages" worked for me)
The image selection window in FCKEditor will then automatically change to allow uploading images to this folder and thus permit you to link to them in your messages. No changes to the FCKEditor configuration are required.

# batch processing
# if you are on a shared host, it will probably be appreciated if you don't send
# out loads of emails in one go. To do this, you can configure batch processing.
# Please note, the following two values can be overridden by your ISP by using
# a server wide configuration. So if you notice these values to be different
# in reality, that may be the case
# define the amount of emails you want to send per period. If 0, batch processing
# is disabled and messages are sent out as fast as possible
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_SIZE",0);
# define the length of one batch processing period, in seconds (3600 is an hour)
define("MAILQUEUE_BATCH_PERIOD",3600);
# to avoid overloading the server that sends your email, you can add a little delay
# between messages that will spread the load of sending
# you will need to find a good value for your own server
# value is in seconds (or you can play with the autothrottle below)
define('MAILQUEUE_THROTTLE',0);
# year ranges. If you use dates, by default the drop down for year will be from
# three years before until 10 years after this the current value for year. If there
# is no current value the current year will be used.
# if you want to use a bigger range you can set the start and end year here
# be aware that the drop down may become very large.
# if set to 0 they will use the default behaviour. So I'm afraid you can't start with
# year 0. Also be aware not to set the end year to something relatively soon in the
# future, or it will stop working when you reach that year.
define('DATE_START_YEAR',0);
define('DATE_END_YEAR',0);
# empty value prefix. This can be used to identify values in select attributes
# that are not allowed to be selected and cause an error "Please enter your ..."
# by using a top value that starts with this string, you can make sure that the

# eg. "-- choose your country"

# all your findings when using this feature should be reported to mantis
# for now it's off by default until we think it works correctly
define('CLICKTRACK',0);
# Click track, list detail
# if you enable this, you will get some extra statistics about unique users who have clicked the
# links in your messages, and the breakdown between clicks from text or html messages.
# However, this will slow down the process to view the statistics, so it is
# recommended to leave it off, but if you're very curious, you can enable it

# Domain Throttling
# You can activate domain throttling, by setting USE_DOMAIN_THROTTLE to 1
# define the maximum amount of emails you want to allow sending to any domain and the number
# of seconds for that amount. This will make sure you don't send too many emails to one domain
# which may cause blacklisting. Particularly the big ones are tricky about this.
# it may cause a dramatic increase in the amount of time to send a message, depending on how
# many users you have that have the same domain (eg hotmail.com)
# if too many failures for throttling occur, the send process will automatically add an extra
# delay to try to improve that. The example sends 1 message every 2 minutes.
define('USE_DOMAIN_THROTTLE',0);
define('DOMAIN_BATCH_SIZE',1);
define('DOMAIN_BATCH_PERIOD',120);
# if you have very large numbers of users on the same domains, this may result in the need
# to run processqueue many times, when you use domain throttling. You can also tell phplist
# to simply delay a bit between messages to increase the number of messages sent per queue run
# if you want to use that set this to 1, otherwise simply run the queue many times. A cron
# process every 10 or 15 minutes is recommended.

# admin language
# if you want to disable the language switch for the admin interface (and run all in english)
# set this one to 0

# advanced bounce processing
# with advanced bounce handling you are able to define regular expressions that match bounces and the
# action that needs to be taken when an expression matches. This will improve getting rid of bad emails in
# your system, which will be a good thing for making sure you are not being blacklisted by other
# mail systems
# if you use this, you will need to teach your system regularly about patterns in new bounces
