Check the vBulletin Options - Email Options. If you have selected the option 'SMTP Email' to send through an SMTP server, rather than using the internal mail() function, you can set the mailbox for bounced messages in the option 'Bounce Email Address', where the default value is set in the option 'Webmaster's Email' from 'vBulletin Options' - 'Site Name / URL / Contact Details'.

If you have not selected 'SMTP Email', your forum uses the internal mail() function. In the Windows server environment the sender of the email messages is specified in the PHP setting 'sendmail_from' in the file php.ini and then that sender is used as the return address by the servers bouncing the messages.

If your forum is in a *nix environment with a sendmail server, you can probably set the option 'Enable '-f' Parameter' and then use the option 'Bounce Email Address'. Hopefully someone who uses this combination can confirm the settings.

You need a separate mailbox to monitor the messages that bounced because of incorrect email address, mailbox over quota or temporary connection problems.

Auto-replies from holiday rules are different because they are delivered straight to your main mailbox for the forum. Depending on your mail server, you may able to filter them through rules available for example in MS Exchange. If you cannot block auto-replies because the subject does not contain particular words like 'out of office' or 'on leave' or the subject is in a foreign language and if you happen to use the old format in EI Mod, you can implement my hack to delete duplicate messages from the mailbox before they are broadcast to the members: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=953

Go to the vBulletin Control Panel and scroll down the left pane. The Email Integration option is at the bottom, expand it and you should see 'Forum Settings Help' and 'Auto Subscriptions'.

Thanks for the Mod Cyricx!

Any chance this can be coded to include email notification of new posts from an individual member $userid? I'd like my membership to be able to get the content of new posts from their favorite friend list emailed to them.

Thanks. Nice work.

Is this going to be upgraded to work with 4.0.4? I'd be happy to make a good donation as I really, really want this mod on my site!

Ditto!

Or if someone is willing to code a similar mod for 4.x, that would be great. If it would take funds, throw out a number!

Is there a way to increase the default number of "subforums" and email addresses I can add to EI? I'd like all of the forums on my site to be able to have the functionality of EI.

When I run emailintegration.php from the task manager in vBulletin I am getting the following error;

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2914609 bytes) in /home/mysite/public_html/forums/includes/mimeDecode.php on line 259

It has been working just fine, but I just noticed that some (but not all) posts by email have not been posted into the forums on my site.

If I run mimeDecode.php from the command line on the server it runs without a problem.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing vBulletin to report this error?

^PHP memory limit. Either increase it, or have your host do it.

So, it's seems that this mod is on life support, and I really, really want this type of email integration. Are there reputable groups that do custom mod development like this?

Thanks, I didn't change the memory limit, but this pointed me to the problem. There was an email with an 8.5Mb attachment in one of the mail boxes which was causing a bit of a "log jam" :)

I should point out however that I have EI set to discard attachments in emails, so the code must be trying to process the attachments in some way before it discards them. This is potentially a problem on a bigger forum where it would be more common for users to ignore the notice that attachments are not allowed.
