I tried to install PHPlist mailing list script.
Everything was fine except I recieved error message when I loged in as admin.

Error: Your database is out of date: 2.8.7, please make sure to upgrade

I did the setup and added arround 500 emails.
When I tried to send a message to all my subscribers the script did arround 50 messages and just showed me an empty page. The script probably timed out.

Can anyone please help me? How can I fix this problem?

I don't know what caused the database notice, but Powweb is running current versions of mysql. You can hack the script and use set_time_limit() to extend the execution of the script. You should also note that there is a loose 1,000 email/day limit on the powweb servers. If you are going to be running a mailing list of that size, you should be certain to add a sleep() command every 100 or so emails to space it out. If you choke the server with too many emails at once, your site could be deactivated for abuse.
