I really like this mod, but I am encountering a problem where new registrants are also getting the reminder emails.

Yes, I have your 1.1.3 version which supposedly has that fix:

Quote:

Update 1.1.3 (22/5/08)

* Bugfix for New Registers

I assume that was what it's for, right?

Well, anyway, it's not working for me.

Suggestions?

Peace,
Gene

My reminder e-mails from "From: Discuss New York" which is bad, and should be forums@my-domain

I actually went into the code and fixed this. I'll document that shortly in this thread so everyone (including the developer) can include that fix.

yahoooh

08-05-2008 12:22 PM

any fix for this?

Alright, this is what I did to fix the email being sent out and the address, site name, etc.. being all goofy:

In the includes/cron/remindermail.php file:

FIND:

Code:

                        if(is_valid_email($toemail)){                                

                                $sentlist .= "$username ";

                                vbmail($toemail, $subject, $message, $notsubscription = false, $from = $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'], $uheaders = '', $username = '');

                        } else {

REPLACE with this:

Code:

                        if(is_valid_email($toemail)){

                                $sentlist .= "$username ";

                                vbmail($toemail, $subject, $message);

                        } else {

That will fix the email going out to the users, if you want to fix the email that is sent to you with the report, modify the 2 vbmail functions near the bottom of the file to only have 3 options.

Neat, now if it would only stop sending out reminder messages to brand new members. :(

I'll look at the SQL for that call and see if I can figure out why it's doing that. I have not experienced this issue. Maybe I'll create a test user and see if they get "reminded".

Yes let me know.

For me, the problem is a daily issue. :(

What email do you want to send it from? I tried modifying this to send from a specific username and it didn't work. Give me an example of what you want, and I'll try and making it work.

Also for everyone having issues with the mod sending out emails to new users: Please send me what settings you've setup in the VBulletin Options section for this mod. I created a new user yesterday, and have ran the task over and over and have yet to see them get an inactive message.

1. Do you see any email addresses after the part in bold red above?

2. This question has been answered previously.

OMFG! :mad: My users now have my personal email account! :mad:

Where is the warning signs for this mod? I must of missed it back on page 5 & 6! :mad:

I thought it would send from my Webmaster's Email address stated in my
AdminCP -> VBulletin Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details -> Webmaster's Email

Remind me why this sends from config.php without any warning in your modification description?:mad:

This hack needs to have an option to change the email address it sends from.:mad:

I am glad this Modification to protects my users from MY SPAM... but, what about protecting me from spam? :mad:

It appears that the function that the mod uses to send the mail doesn't allow this to happen.

gamerfu

08-12-2008 03:50 AM

I now think that the modification was sending mail from my forum/includes/config.php for the "$email" function specified in the textbox.

...I am so confused anymore ... ugh!

What can be done to fix this security problem?

djbaxter

08-12-2008 10:24 AM

It's not a security problem.

trilljester

08-12-2008 05:39 PM

The mod uses the vbmail function, which is a standard function built-in to VBulletin. If you specify only 3 required parameters to this function, it *should* use the Webmaster's Email that you specified in the VB options. Look at the modification I posted previously, if you make that mod, it should send it out from that email. The original code is flawed.

I have installed inactive email reminder..but its sending a email from my host email adresss..how can i changed the email adresss...

can some 1 plzz tell me...

gamerfu

08-15-2008 07:35 PM

since this is re-usable code it believe the author should remove the credits from the bottom of our templates too.

the modification is not that ground breaking to be giving himself that much credit.

it puts a lot of un-needed garbage at the bottom of my boards and free links to his websites.

goign to uninstall this modification. not happy with it. :(

It links to the sites of the two main authors. That's hardly "a lot of un-needed garbage at the bottom of my boards and free links to his websites".

Well i get the email from sender Mail Delivery Subsystem of this means a few members email aren't valid. This is outside of this mod. But it's already getting the email back. Why doesn't this hack list the group of people with the bounced emails? They are still listed as being contacted..but in reality..their email accounts are invalid. Understand?

I tried to upgrade like the instructions say, but it didn't seem to upgrade anything. I have not seen any e-mails to my 'test' member from the first one I installed either............Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

roflwaffle

08-18-2008 03:26 AM

I would really like this but I don't know what to actually say to the user. Does anyone have any tips?

This email shows that the product is installed and working as it should be.

can this be switched off? Or changed to only email me when something goes wrong?

Is it possible to force the "From" address used in the inactive user e-mails reminders?

It does not work correctly on my server, and for two different sites, it tried to create 2 From:'s

One of them is correct, and the other is my forum name@ nothing which looks incredibly spammy and gets rejected by many mail servers.

I like the script, but it caused a cpu load of 50+ when running the cron job for the first time, perhaps because there were quite a lot of users to email to:

Found 29631 Inactive Users.

A function to send emails step by step - if there are lots - would be good.

kiFF	10-05-2008 10:32 PM

For some reason it sends out a inactive email to newly registered members.

Keyser S?ze

10-09-2008 07:54 AM

seems like its either sending it out twice a night, or its just telling me it sent it out *telling me more than once)

sometimes ill even get 3 email notifications, the emails are all identical in content

also check this out

Hi robertjandreu ,

I've tested the hacked manually on the Scheduled Task Manager and checked the email, it sends out the email to the recepient. But on the AdminCP panel at the Task manager it is showing this message in regards to the remindermail.php file line 44 and others...

How do I correct this?

Inactive User Reminder Emails
Makes no use of the reminder Count

Sorry to tell you all but I dropped support on this mod.

its outdated and vbulletin changed to much.

I'm working on a totally rewritten but I don't have a lot of programming time on hands so it doesn't go fast.

sorry for the inconvenience
