I did. It just doesn't work.

One more thing: This is a confusing setup parameter. Your From email address in your own preference page shouldn't reflect the bounce email, but simply the one from which the reminder emanates. The bounce should always be regarded as the one set in the standard vBulletin settings under email.

Still getting the formatting crap. :(

Peace,
Gene

Okay just bitten the bullet and installed version 1.2.7 and hit two problems.

1) The product would not install into vB 3.7.2 PL2 until I adjusted the 'maxversion' to 3.7.3.

2) I have at the moment 33,378 users registered and the Mod decided that 29,727 users were inactive. This is with setting the inactive period to 90 days. That seems way too high a ratio?

you can still use the mod without the settings, however you must be aware that the bouncing emails wont work. the inactive reminders still go out as normail

ive checked over the code and im quite sure everything is as it should be.

1) Now upgraded to the correct version. Seems to be working but even with period of inactivity set to 60 days still getting 27275 inactive users. Could be right I guess.

Could I ask you to clarify how the options work together?

- Inactivity period is obvious :) (Set to 60 days for me)

- How many emails maximum to send to each inactive user per inactive period. (0 for unlimited) - does this mean that if set to 3 then a user will get maximum of 3 emails after being inactive for 60 days? Then another 3 if inactive for 120 days?

- After the first email, how long should the system wait before sending out subsequent emails? (Days) This I have set to 28, but if max emails is set as above then this would clash with the above?

So could you clarify how we should set it please?

2) As per attached is the Mod working incredibly quickly to send emails (and possibly travelling in time), or is the Users that have been sent the maximum number of emails count incorrect?

3) As per the attached there seems to be a spurious table (zero height) just above the test email box?

More......

- The report page is getting incredibly long (understandable) - it might be an idea to paginate it and allow one to filter it based on bounced users only. Also to be able to erase the table - thinking of data storage sizes here.

- If one does not wish to use the bounce change usergroup feature how does one turn that facility off as it only lists the usergroups, there is not an option for 'none'.

More 2 .....

1) The message to be sent specififes:

HTML Code:

<p>Kindest Regards<br/>

The $forumtitle Team

<a href="$homeurl">$bbtitle</a></p>

But translates into (from looking at the test message):

Quote:

Kindest Regards
The Team 4WinMobile.com

So it looks like the '$forumtitle' variable is not being parsed?

As you wish. This is a typical set of headers from these bounced messages, showing the formatting problem and the incorrect sender address (minus the recipient's email):

I look forward to the update.

From what I have read while doing my research this "nobody" problem is actually the settings on your forum. This issue should be fixed if and when you upgrade to the latest version.

No, it's a server configuration issue. Generally, files sent by a PHP script are sent from nobody@domain.com unless you configure the server to do otherwise.

I think this is a step backwards, to be blunt. EZ Bounce works on all email sent out by the forum, such as notifications, etc. It would be far better to have an option to specifiy the EZ Bounce headers, or even just to set them automatically if the admin indicates that EZ Bounce is installed.

Why reinvent the wheel? Especially when you're trying to reinvent only half the wheel...

That's why the email notifications are a much better idea... no logs to delete or edit.
