phpList includes some advanced controls for providing information and debugging when a problem occurs. These can help us determine where the fault lies.
In test mode, phpList will appear to process messages as normal, but will not actually send any messages. This is a useful way to test your configuration and settings without disrupting your subscribers.
Open config/config.php
and look for the following line (around line #193):
define ("TEST",0);
Change the value of TEST
to 1
