Hi,

I want to change the behaviour of the 'Send email to user' function.

Everytime I send an information to my ~2000 users I get dozens of failure messages from my server because of undeliverable mails.

I can imagine different scenarious to change this.

1.
I am searching for an option in vB that changes an option in the usercp then.

If a mail cannot be delivered, for that user the option 'Receive Email from Administrators' should be turned off.

I think that this is the easiest way to get rid of those error messages.

2.
It would also be a good idea to send a PM to that user that the emailadress does not seem to be valid and that he/she has to update it.
If the user is inactive this can increase the db size if he/she never reads the PM or udpates the emailaddress so I have idea no#3 :D

3.
Set a red notification table under the navbar for this user only informing him/her that the email address in his profile is not valid and that he/she has to update it.

I think all solutions can be nice.

vBouncer does smth. like this for subscriptions; shouldn't be too hard to modify it to unset the flag

As always it shouldn't be too hard for you but nearly impossible for me :D
