I changed this setting and vbounce worked great then I noticed today it brought down my entire email delevery system by switching the the email permissions on all the domain accounts on my server causing denial of emailsfor the entire day until it click I was the one that screwed up the system with that setting. I ahve switched it back.

Help! Please!

Not sure about the exim stuff since I've never used it. But you're saying that you switched it back and now the email works fine, but not vBouncer? Why not try the IMAP/POP method, since it will require no changes to Exim.

Correct. Evidentily that setting made all local email boxes on the server where they were chmod to block incoming emails.

I've updated the instruction to warn about this problem, and simply recommended IMAP/POP :)

Tamarian,
Thank you. I have yet to get the IMAP/POP to work. Can anyone point out how they are doing it with Exim>?

I have never used Exim, but it should be no different than any other POP mail account. If you already have created an account for vBouncer, then use the vBouncer setting in the vBulletin Options to enter the POP username and password for that account.

Ok, isntalled this hack, seems to working fine. Just one question though, when i run the vbounce collect and vbounce clean up , is it supposed to clear/purge the stats page? Because my stats just stay there...

The stats are cleared when the defined period is over. So if you minitir bounces within the last 7 days, it will clear stats that are older than 7 days on the next run of the clean script. It will also clear each member's stats if they exced the defined period, and are "processed", to avoid penalizing them for the same bounces.

Don't forget to click install :)

I am now getting:

Vbounce

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in boards/includes/cron/vbouncer-collect.php on line 163

This means that your server's PHP installation was not compiled with IMAP support.
