For some reason users are not being put back into their original user group after updating their email. When they click the link to verify that they have a valid email account, they get a blank screen. If they hit refresh, they are taken to the forum and the "no permission' error. They are also put into the "bounced email" group again.

I thought it might be an error on my part, so I had them place into the 'registered' group (2). I tested this and it worked. I clicked the link in the returned email and the user was put into group ID 2 - registered. But when that member updates their email address, the above happens (white screen after clicking link, etc...) AND they are put into the 'Bounce Email Group', the first group I created based on the recommendations in this modification. This group is a copy of the "User's awaiting Email Conformation" group.

So, even though I set them up to be put in the registered group when I click the EX-Bounce link in the returned email, (which they are at that point) - The user is placed into the New 'Bounced" group when they update their email.

What is wrong? Any idea? I have tested this every way I can. Please help!

[EDIT]
Additional information: Members who have not been 'moderated' by this modification can change their email address, but also get a blank page when clicking the link. They however, are able to hit refresh and go into the forum and continue in the same usergroup that they were in before they changed their email address. (Don't know if this was important, but thought it might help to know.) Thanks!

Thanks,

kether, what version of vbulletin are you running? have you disabled all other hacks and then tried clicking on the ezbounce link?

I have most current version installed and am having no problems.

Most current version running also. The other products seem to be working fine. I do not have any that deal with usergroups or the mail system - unless VBSEO does something that I am not aware of that might cause this conflict.

Any other suggestion?

Thanks for your quick response!

try disabling all other mods/hacks then clicking on the EZbounce link.

Hi Antivirus (Coder),

I noticed a little thing which should be added to this great hack.
I checked all bounced emails and used the link at the end of the emails to move the users to a defined group.
This worked fine but there should be a small change in the query.

The system should NOT change the users group when the user is in special (defined) groups already e.g. Administrator or banned.

I had a banned user which was moved into a different group cause I clicked the link and he was now able to use the system again. This happened cause if you get a lot of bouncing mails you do not check every single user.

Can you add an option that users are not move when they are in defined usergroups?

Why are you sending email to banned members?

For those that may have had this problem (it was not just a vbulletin problem, but for all software that I use and use the PHP sendmail function). After almost a month my hosting company got this figured out (this use to not happen, seems to have started happening after they upgraded to PHP5). They fixed it and I asked what they did so others would know what to do if this was happening to them, here is what they said after I sent them one of the e-mail headers:

As I can see your message headers are formed incorrectly (envelope sender address isn't specified explicitly, so actual address is composed from your account name and server's hostname).

Here is what they said they did to fix it:

I've changed sendmail command syntax in your local php.ini file, i've added envelope sender address option to its command line.

It would be nice if it was possible to hand this task to a moderator. But this only works from the adminCP. Could you put this in the modCP?

You could easily modify the hack to do this. All you need to do is the following:

1) Within the AdminCP settings for this hack, change the path for your AdminCP directory to the path to your ModCP directory. In other words, the setting for your Admincp dir will actually be path to your Modcp dir.

2) Within script ezbounce.php find:
and replace with:
Make sure that 5,6,7 are the usergroups which you want to be able to access the script. The default mod, supermod and admin usergroups are 5,6,7 if yours have changed, update respectively. Then instead of placing the ezbounce script within your adminCP, place it within your Modcp.

I haven't tested this, but it should work for you.

Can this be updated to move a members thread notification setting to off?

As in the automatic thread subscriptions.
