Ohhh sorry to have missed that...

Thanks a lot Filip !

Hi Fillip,
Is there any word yet on importing a mail list from vb? or perhaps controlling distribution from vb groups?

Not yet, unfortunately.

Feature requests posted at our forum has a higher chance of being included, since vBulletin.org threads often grow to such lengths we can't reasonably track old feature requests.

I posted the request on your support forum.
Thank you Fillip. :)

Am I correct in assuming that if I send an email out from my normal vbulletin mailing system, this mod won't capture the bounces, etc.?

I ask because I need mailings going out to only those that accept admin emails currently and don't know how to get those into this system. I then want to delete emails that bounce.

(I think this will be a great system for other mailing lists I create as well!)

I think that it should get bounced mail.

You setup which mail address you want to use as bounce email. After mail is bounced, it returns to bounce email and this mod checks this email address through IMAP protocol (you need to set it up so in settings, of course).

So, you'll have all bounced mail there and you could check it automatically or manually, as you wish.

At least I think that it should work in this way. Filip will know more.

If you configured the "Bounce Email Address" setting then yes I do believe that it will grab those bounced mail.

Hi,

The mod, each time bounced emails cron runs, copies all the data from "vb_dbtech_vbmail_message" table into the "datastore" table :

datastore / dbtech_vbmail_message / data

After about 200 bounced emails, the cron sends me a MySQL error :

Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

One solution is to change my mysql settings, adding more memory, but the problem will happen again maybe after 200 bounced emails more...

Can you help me please ?

Regards,
Manuel

Whoops, that was an oversight, that should not happen. Thanks for letting me know :)

Open /dbtech/vbmail/includes/class_dm_message.php and comment out both instances of the following code: Feel free to delete that datastore entry via to save some database space :)


Fillip

It worked, thank you Fillip ! :)
