It’s got most of what I need as far as evening out browser parsing of css/x/html, so I use it as a base and append as necessary with other workarounds and things like basic element styling that I employ across all the sites I work on [pseudo-selectors (:hover, :focus, etc.), list formatting, baseline/leading, standard text-sizes/proportions, padding on certain elements (p, link-based buttons w/ background, etc.)]. This list isn’t comprehensive by any means, and I use other ideas from various resets and standards documents/bugs…but this is my foundation.

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.
