You are so right. I lost count of how many hours I sat staring at the live ModSec log view when we recently switched servers and installed the new version of cPanel that had built-in ModSec support instead of it being something the host controlled via their Managed Hosting option.

That was like 5-6 months ago.

I'd say our rule set is pretty stable right now though, the message Doug tried to post was quite specific and I can't say I blame them for thinking it was suspicious (sorry Doug! It's that trench coat and the blackened sunglasses, you do look a bit shifty... ;) ).

That being said, by default ModSec appears to come with rules that are only suitable for sites that offer absolutely no user input whatsoever, which is rare these days.

Well, we could spend a lot of time here talking about security, but I'd prefer some help getting my site live again with the paid version of vBmail. :D

As requested, I left the information I think you require as a PM on your site and I've been standing by, so let me know what else you need. Thanks .. ;)

Tangential to vBmail crashing our site on upgrade, I also thought that while waiting, I'd do some cleanup of other mods not being used. One of those is free version of Dragonbyte Gallery, which when I clicked UN-install also crashed with an error, interestingly enough, pointing to vBmail., which is why I'm raising it here in this thread.

I simply wanted to un-install Dragonbyte Gallery, so I selected the un-install option under plugins...


I have no idea why these two products would be co-dependent (cross marketing?), but I've also left you a PM to get some help fixing that which went wrong during a simple clicking of Dragonbyte Gallery un-install button.

Regards,
Doug

The vBMail upgrade went fine, I suspect that also takes care of the block issue since that was most likely caused by the same corrupted upload :)

On Vbulletin 4.2.3 got this on importing of XML:
XML Error: Processing Instruction not finished at Line 205

Hi there,

What version of PHP are you running?


Fillip

Im getting this erro upon first install, what am i doing wrong?

/home/ddcdcdc/www/forums/dbtech/vbmail/includes/class_install.php appears to be missing!

Upload the contents of the upload folder to your forums folder, not the upload folder itself.

Does this deal with bounces from the other emailing systems in vbulletin? I have a newsletter that gors out that gets a lot of bounces, will it deactivate those that bounces as well?

I have 50000 users is there any fast way to add them all to the email list?

It won't unsubscribe from other email systems, sorry :(

You can use the Default Subscribed flag :)
