I guess this can't be used with the internal PHP mail() function.

I'm not 100% certain about that tbh, I guess that would depend on whether it's passing the headers correctly.

I tend to recommend using SMTP anyway since it's more robust.

Can you tell me if there have been any updates from the beta in Oct (1.1.7) to now? I was asking previously about it handling bounced emails from all emails sent out (pm notifications, threads subscriptions, etc). I was sent a beta link that supposedly did so, but haven't seen any progress or since then. I haven't tried the beta due to concerns it wasn't ready. Does the live pro version on dbtech include the ability to handle bounces from outside just this script's mailing list?

I haven't updated the files here on vBulletin.org, but the people who have tried out the cPanel/WHM mail server failure catcher code have not reported any problems, nor have we on DBTech :)

With plesk use -
user+domain.com
SSL yes

I've just got it connected using that, waiting to see if the bounces process now.

You can test it by manually sending an email to your bounce handler (use an email not connected to your forum, or create a new one off your server) then manually re-run the Collect Bounced Mail scheduled task - if it catches the email you should be good to go :)

Hi

i installed VbMail 1.1.7 on Vbulletin 4.2.0
when i try to run Manually Scheduled Option "DragonByte Tech: vBMail - Collect Bounced Mail" i have this error:

DragonByte Tech: vBMail - Collect Bounced Mail Fatal error: Could not open the connection to the mailbox, please check your configuration.

Imap user account is ok, i tried to configure in Mozilla Thunderbid and i can receive mail.
I don't use Plesk, but a dedicated server.

can you help me ?

Tnx

IMAP settings used for vBMail are different than SMTP settings which you use to receive mail.

Can you show me a screenshot of your settings - redact the password, obviously.

Fillip

Ok, see screenshots :)

Try the following alterations:
1. Set IMAP Host to localhost
2. Set IMAP Port to 993
3. Replace the @ in IMAP User Name with a +

Let me know if that works for you :)
