How would I do that? I'm clueless when it comes to email management on my server. :) That's the reason why I host my domains on another server and manage email there.

I do need this hack, as I don't verify email, and lots of emails do bounce back.

Here's how I would do it:

Follow step 1 on the mail server.

Follow steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the vBulletin server (where the database resides)

Then wirte a small shell script to scp or ftp the bounce mail file from the mail server to the database server. In the vBouncer script, enter the location of the file in the $bouncefile line. When the script is run on the database server, it should pick up the bouncing members from the file.

If you need any help with any of the steps, feel free to PM me.

ok great, thank you!!

i'll install it when i install VB3 Gold.

if this script can be modify in a way to trace user's registration using invalid email account and immediately deletes away this new registration, that will be even better!

Any update for VB3 Gold? The code is different (by the looks) and I get bombarded with email! :)

Thanks!

wow didn't know this was ported to vb3, is their a php version out?

is there any alternative to this? I remember someone made a hack where you can have 2 email address. one for the board in general and the other is for error and so on or bounced emails.

Hmm... Does this need to be updated for VB3 gold? The code in /includes/functions.php doesn't seem to match the instructions...

:)

Updated for vB3 gold, use step 2A. The old step 2 for beta is now step 2B
