You need to set a dedicated email address for bounce emails (from email) which you'll never access with any mail client. Doing it, you'll download the emails, and thus, they'll never preceed from the system.
Most cheap GoDaddy hosting plans are not having the Mail() function enabled. If this you, sorry but this mod will not works in your site.

I wish the day to has 48h. It's the only way to have all done. My last day off, was on September 2004. 7 years I'm working at least 14h every day, including weekeds and holidays. Is not that I don't want to help. Is that I've so many things to do.
In any case I'll try to post an update today. The errors are clear. eg there is referrence to a function which exists only in the pro version, and I need to remove it.

Yes, you need to check with your Hosting provider how many emails you can send per hour. Then you need to goto Newsletter's settings. By default it send 150 emails per cronjob. So if you have setup the "Send Mails" cron to run every 30 min, then 300 emails will be send out per hour.

A new bug fix release (1.0.2) is available for download. This version fixes the problems on sending newsletter. To upgrade upload all files and import the product xml file.

Thank you

It was so frustating, to spend around 3 hours checking every single line of code, and trying to understand what in hell is that bug which was making the addon to not work but on the same time to not show any error. Finally it was (as usally is such issues) a childish issue. The code was correct to prepare the newsletter, to add receipments etc, and the only missing was the command to "Send Email" ... $mail->Send(); ... Idiot me...

How hard is this to install? Also is there some examples of what the email can look like?
