Upload the following files to your public folder, in any directory you please: confirm.php datacon.php footer.php head.php settings.php unsubscribe.php verify.php Create a directory named 'admin'. Be sure this directory is in the same directory as the files that you just uploaded. Upload all files inside the 'admin' folder to your 'admin' directory on your domain. Edit both settings.php files to reflect your correct information. 7. Create a new email account where your mail will be sent from. This is also the address all bounced mail will go to for your automatic bounce script. Remember the password. *Note - this must be the same email address that you entered in your settings.php files. 8. Edit the first 5 lines in the file /listowners/admin/bounce.php to include your domain, bounced email address, and password. Please note, $maxbounce is the number of times a user is allowed to bounce before being deleted from your lists. It is set to "10" by default, but you can change this number to any that you feel is fair. 9. Go to PHPMyAdmin and go to your new database. Click "SQL". Browse to the folder 'BBMailingListPro/admin/database.txt' and click 'Go'. This will create your necessary database tables for your webhost manager. 10. Setup a cron job for your /admin/smail.php file. Example: /usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/admin/smail.php Set this up to be called every day, once every hour. 11.

Example: /usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/admin/bounce.php Set this up to be called once every hour, around 30 minutes after your smail.php file would be called. This is your bounce script. 12. Login to your Admin area, which is the index.php page inside your Admin folder. Ex: http://yourdomain.com/admin/index.php. Your users manual is inside your admin area. Login with the password at the bottom of your settings.php file. 13. This is the end of the installation instructions.
