EZ bounce is great, as its the only option to counter bounced emails. But it still implies handling thousands of bounces, one by one, after each mailing.

When you first implement a bounceback strategy, yes... but it needs to be a strategy where members with bouncebacks due to invalid email addresses are moved to a separate member group (I call mine Inactive). Then, when the newsletter goes out, the Inactive group is not included in the mailing list.

Once you have that set up and working, the effort to maintain it is minimal. Now I get a few bouncebacks each week and I change the usergroups for those members to Inactive if the bounceback reason is "no such address" or "no account for that user". This takes perhaps 5 minutes at most.

thank you
if i uninstall the mod is DB Changes stay in my forum's DB ?

It should, yes. Support for the original mod is at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230359

Not on a high traffic site. I have manually processed 20.000 bounced addresses. THat indeed took care of a lot of problems. But after that, there are still valid email accounts that turn into invalid ones and each mailing results in a large number of bounced mails to process.

Please read the article in my signature: How to keep your board from getting blacklisted as a spammer
It covers this issue.

It turns out that this is a huge issue as many vbulletin boards have been banned by large email providers, without even knowing it. More and more webmasters are discovering this.
I am starting to suspect that large email providers are actively reacting to vbulletins flaws in this respect. vbulletin as a whole is generating a massive amount of emails to invalid email addresses. Its a serious spam issue.

As I get time, I'll look into seeing if I can re-integrate EZ Bounce.

Thanks for the link to your article. I have already implemented all the things you discuss there. I'm not sending out 20K newsletters at a time and if I were I'd get one of the mailing list managers. CommBull really is intended for the average forum that doesn't require the big guns.

hello, thank you for update of combull. Some yeras ago, I bought commbull, and now I?ve installed in my vb4 with you modifications.

But when sending a newsletter to my users, I have had this error when I went around 2.000 user aprox.

after having this error, my forum will get stuck, being necessary to empty the bbdd Mailqueue to return to normal

Can you help me?

Thank you very much
I?m sorry for my english

I'm guessing that you are using version 5.1? If you are a licensed CommBull owner and you still have a 4.x version available, I would advise you to use that instead. I'm personally running 4.5f which avoids many of the issues with 5.1.

Thank djbaxter, I have 4.2 version, but this version works fine with vbulletin 4??ç
