I've installed MLM. Diagnostics say everything is good.

I've put together a test email list on my local machine and have sent emails successfully.
However, when I try to upload the list to MLM from MacBulk Mail (Recipients -> Upload to MLM...) I get an error:


An error ocurred during the list upload process

When I upload a list of email addresses from a text file using lm.php, the list loads to the server, but when I use the "unsubscribe" link from a received email, there's no indication that the person is unsubscribed. The unsubscribe confirmation email goes out. The unsubscribe message to the admin arrives. But there's nothing on the server or in MBM that says the address is unsubscribed and when I send another test message, the unsubscribed email address still gets the new message.

=======
Actually, I hadn't noticed that when I selected "remote lists" MBM displays "downloading"... and never comes back. An hour later, it still just says, "Downloading..."

No error message.

No diagnostic.

Just "Downloading..."

Have you contacted your hosting company about that? It would be interesting to see the server side logs. Note that in the large majority of cases, MLM issues come for tight PHP/Apache security settings. Indeed given settings will make important features to fail, error 500 is a typical server response in those cases.

Yes, but nothing was fixed on their part I believe. MLM is a very simple and standard PHP script. 100% or error 500 come from server tight security configurations. Your issue shows that since the diagnostic works but not the upload.
