I searched, in vain, on Google and the CRE Loaded forums for an explanation of what an ATS template is. After 20 minutes I had found nothing but when I started digging through the creloaded.com repository I found this!
https://creforge.com/plugins/websvn/listing.php?repname=creloadeddoc&path=%2Fguides62%2Ftemplates%2F#_guides62_templates_
A full explanation of the ATS Templates and how to create them. Someone has been hard at work at CRE Loaded. Hopefully they will release these documents soon and they wont be buried in the repository.

phplist, phpmailer, mod_security and SMTP
While trying to install a copy of the phplist application I ran into a small problem.
[Thu Sep 20 11:43:39 2007] [error] [client 76.45.195.42] mod_security: Warning. Pattern match "([0-9a-zA-Z]+[-._+&])*[0-9a-zA-Z]+@([-0-9a-zA-Z]+[.])+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}" at POST_PAYLOAD [hostname "www.mysite.com"] [uri "/lists/admin/?page=send&id=10"]
The hosting company that I am using has mod_security installed for Apache. They have a rule something like:
SecFilterSelective ARGS_VALUES "\n[[:space:]]*(to|bcc|cc)[[:space:]]*:.*@"
set in the apache configuration file. This rule will check all POSTS to the Apache server and search for anything that looks like an email address. If mod_security finds a string that looks like email address the script execution is halted.
phplist uses the phpmailer library to process it's outgoing queue. phpmailer creates a POST with an email address string in the payload of the POST. The address string is found by mod_security and phplist sends no email.
Here are the settings that I changed in phplist. They are all located in the /public_html/lists/config/congif.php file:
# If you want to use the PHPMailer class from phpmailer.sourceforge.net, set the following
# to 1. If you tend to send out html emails, it is recommended to do so.
define("PHPMAILER",1);
# To use a SMTP please give your server hostname here, leave it blank to use the standard
# PHP mail() command.
define("PHPMAILERHOST",'localhost');
# if you want to use smtp authentication when sending the email uncomment the following
# two lines and set the username and password to be the correct ones
$phpmailer_smtpuser = 'phplistsmtpuser@mysited.com';
$phpmailer_smtppassword = 'password';
Changing the PHPMAILERHOST setting in phplist to 'localhost' prevents phpmailer program from using the php mail() function. No POST is generated and everything works.
I hope this helps someone, someday :).
