If you try to do it the vanilla vB way for a product, the product file won't import due to duplicate keys in settings, and the install code will need to check for pre-existing tables, since pre product installations have no version defined.

The table bit is easy - you simply run the create query with error reporting turned off. If the table exists it will silently fail, otherwise it will work. However, people who already have it installed don't need to import the product anyway ?

That's true, or just add IF NOT EXISTS. But for settings and templates, it would leave the product id as vbulletin, so it may require some code to alter them if already there.

Not right now, but eventually they'll need to for any future upgrades.

is this working with the "send user email" function of vbulletin ? im also using VB as a mailing list replacement ;), but im unable to get the return path added. Works for PM notifications though..

THANKS! That was exactly my problem.

It would be rather nice to see a version of this hack, but expanded to include bouncing Happy Birthday Emails, Bouncing Activaton Emails.

Hi,

i have installed this hack but it seems it doens't pick the right e-mail account out for sending e-mails. In my settings i have subscriber_notify@mydomain.com but he still uses my old e-mail adres where i receive those bounced e-mails.

I have upgrade from 3.0.7 to 3.5.2, in 3.0.7 worked perfect. I have activated the plugin.

any way to expand this to other emails sent out by the forums?

willing to pay for a solution that will work on my server, vbouncer is already working without a problem - PM me if you can help

Same here. I've read the entire thread and the problem was addressed but not fixed.
Subscription emails are still being sent by the webmaster email address.

I was using SMTP before attempting to use this, and subscriptions stopped working. Switched to php and emails are being sent, but from the webmaster address.

I see that you also are running 3.5.2. Are there more people who run 3.5.2 or 3.5.3 who experiance this problem?
