I am willing to provide a server to test it on, if needs be.
We need a QMail system with someone who knows how to admin it :) Check this thread for more details:

Both actually. But server load problems are harder to solve than bandwidth. Consider having many threads with thousands of subscribers in the instant email mode. This will spike your server on new replies. But it doesn't hurt that it also saves bandwidth :)

Also this does not seem too applicable to users who are in a shared hosting enviroment...
Correct. As stated, it is for busy forums. However, it can run in a shared/virtual environment, if the host can move your mail storage to your space (some control panels do that). For Sendmail and PostFix, this is as easy as a symlink.

Hmm, thats what I thought, I'll be checking into it for cpanel, as I already got a request from one of my custers for it :p

Please post any tips and hints from your experience here:

My plan is to compile a list of steps on the various setups to spool emails of one account to a file, and update post #3 with it.

could I use this so if I send out emails to users awaiting confirmation any bounces would go to the same account so they can be moved deleted etc with vBouncer.

Well done tamarian - it's on the way to answering the request in this thread
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91176
May I suggest the possibility of analysing the emails to determine those with permanent errors so those members can be moved to the 'awaiting email activation' group after just 1 bounced email?

You mean from the admin panel email form? That email form asks you to enter the "From" field, and it fills it with the webmaster email by default. If you enter the vBouncer email instead, then it should work, as this will automatically form the "Return-Path" with the vBouncer email address.

So it seems to work by accedent :) as I have not thought of this when I wrote it.

You mean:

1. identify and store the error codes/status of the bounces
2. Allow specific actions to be taken against emails generating specific error codes, regardless of not reaching the allowed bounce tolerance limit

I like your ideas :D

-=Sniper=- 06-22-2005 11:07 PM
yes thats what I mean! I guess thats a extra free feature.

Because some users register thinking they don't have to confirm, so they never validate the account. This could solve the issue where much.
