**** IMPORTANT *****
-
Since version 1.2 the plugin has switched the mail system from mail() to sendmail. Please update your plugin immediately if you are using a version older than 1.2.
-
Always remember to back up your data before upgrading the plugin as the re-installation of the plugin will wipe out all subscribers from the database.
-
Back up your subscribers by using the export options and then use the generated file to import them after the upgrade has been finished.
