I just installed this last night, but left it disabled. Looks like it still sent an email to 10 of my members.

I've got no idea what the message said, I hope it was good!

So now I've just set the "Number of users to process during each scheduled task" to 0 instead of 10, hope that works.

Otherwise looks like a great mod. I've just got to build and customize my html message to send. I'll probably send to my members who have been inactive for 60 days, then go from there.

Sounds like you may have had an old version of this mod installed. If it's not enabled, it should not process. You may want to try creating a test user and set it back a few months then process that user manually through the cron job. The default messages that are sent can be seen in the screen shots in the first post.

Thank you for downloading and using the mod though. :) Please let me know if you run into any further issues.

Since I haven't posted in a while I want to let everyone know there will be a bit of a delay for updates since my development computer's power supply died on Saturday the last weekend in April. Not sure when NewEgg.com will send me a new power supply.

I decided to try this again yesterday. I set it to send out to my members who haven't posted in 90 days. My summary showed me some members who only signed up a few weeks ago.
I went live with my vbulletin site from phpbb in March 2010. I would assume that if this was affecting the "last post" counter, that zero members would have been notified and that the clock would start from my "go live" date. But the fact that it emailed new members is a bit disturbing, I hope they don't put me on their spam list.

And to my knowledge, this is the only version of the product that I've got installed. How else would I check?

Thanks for pointing this out to me. Soon as I can get my development pc up and running I'll look into this. I'm hoping I'll have things back in working order by the end of the month.

Great mod, thanks!

How can I change the From address? It puts the full name of the board and then the email as webmaster@hostname.com, which is not correct.

Thanks.

It is automatic, it changes within the preferences of your vBulletin. It's the same contact email forum.
Greetings.

I think there is a possible bug in the logic.

When I use the vBulletin built-in contact form and send it to myself, it comes to me like this:

From: Dave @ Dallas Nightlife Community and Forums <dave@dallasdancemusic.com> (sent by webmaster@dallasdancemusic.com)

When I reply, the email address is the one I entered in the contact form, so I can reply to the user.

When your mod sends out email, the From: address is:

From: Dallas Nightlife Community and Forums <Dallas.Nightlife.Community.and.Forums@ns3.l2n.com > (sent by webmaster@dallasdancemusic.com)

And if I go to reply, the email is: Dallas Nightlife Community and Forums <Dallas.Nightlife.Community.and.Forums@ns3.l2n.com >

This somehow substitues my board name as the email address and the actual hostname as the domain part. Obviously, this is an invalid email, so bounces and replies will never get to me.

It would seem to do this because unlike the contact form, there is no "Your name:" and "Email address:" in the settings to use. Maybe adding those somewhere will fix this?

Thanks again.

I only read the first 4 pages but wondered if people are getting emails from past members to be removed completely?

My site is a car site and once someone sells the car, they usually don't return.
I'm concerned that those who have posted in the past and not returned in some time are going to want to be deleted completely.
Normally I ask those who want to be deleted to allow me to keep their username and posts and in exchange I delete their email address and turn of PM to their account. Everyone has been cool with that.

Has this been an issue? People asking to be deleted completely since they have not logged in for some time?
Sounds like a good mod, I'm just worried that it will have a negative effect.

Right now the mod uses the webmaster email address defined in the vbulletin settings.

I'm adding a new field in the mod settings for a custom 'from' email address in a later release.
