Initial MassMalier set up problems

1) If you go to admin/settings/massmailer it lists phplist as the mailer engine. However, unless you go out and save the configuration the first time through, it doesn't have a mailer engine configured, mass mailer options do not come up.

Work around: Save some settings, any settings and things will start working

2) There is something wrong with the code where it looks for the settings.php file. I am running using a multisite configuration, so it should look for a site specific settings.php file, but when I go to:
modules/phplist/phplist/admin/
The database configuration information could not be loaded from the drupal configuration file: default/settings.php

Since I'm running a multisite configuration, I don't have (nor want) a default/settings.php

3) If I copy the site configuration to the default/settings.php file, I get PHPlist version 2.9.3 (c) 2000-2005 Tincan Ltd, http://www.phplist.com Usage: /home/smartcam/public_html/alpha/modules/phplist/phplist/admin/index.php -p page [other parameters]
when I go to modules/phplist/phplist/admin/

However, when I set up emails to go out, nothing seems to happen.
