It doesn't have the depth of "campaign" features and is much less user-friendly for non-dev type folks. That said, It is a decent solution if you're on a budget - and if you have the time and development skills to extend it for your needs. I wouldn't recommend using it on a shared hosting package due to max sending rate limitations. The best bet is to get a dedicated IP. I was going to implement it for a political campaign that I'm managing (my girlfriend is running for state assembly), but the commercial solutions fit our budget (mailchimp's free account!), are much easier to use and more secure. PHPList is actually built on another open source php mailing library - It would be fantastic if it were on the same level as a project such as Drupal for example, but right now the community just isn't there yet. Maybe someday. PHPList is nowhere near the level of commercial email list solutions like mailchimp or campaign monitor.

Is it just the open source/proprietary thing? How does PHPList differ from other email marketing programs? Is it just the open source/proprietary thing?
