I am looking for a mod like vBouncer (vbouncer is out of date from everything I have heard).

I had spam bots register on my forum with fake emails and need the members as well as the emails cleared from my database. BUT I do have a lot of real emails that I don't want to lose by just deleting all members with no posts. So I would prefer something that deletes emails after several bounces and then I can prune members later based on having no email.

Having emails removed after several bounces would also help improve the delivery rate of my emails and insure they don't get placed in a spam folder.

Please let me know if you know anything like this.

The problem with that concept is that members who forget to change their emails will be deleted.

I don't need it to automatically delete the member, just the email. Then I can remove members with less than 1 post that have invalid emails. That way no real person is really deleted, as long as they have 1 post and a valid email, and probably not having logged on in 3 months. I would say anyone not meeting those requirements would not be a big deal in losing.

There should be an option in your admincp settings.

There should be an option in your admincp settings.

Could you provide a bit of direction as to where in the admincp?
