This time i get this error

This seems to work

I based it on the first block in the INC file. Does it look okay to continue using ?

Great hack, installed and works! thanks!

Sure, the inc filter is harmless. If anything goes wrong, it will just abort :)

hi...does it work with 3.0.9?

It should work fine. I haven't upgraded, but the 3.0.9 changes should not affect it.

hi..

i've just installed it on my 3.0.9 but after doing so, my VB is not sending emails any more. even the activation emails...i tried sending an email to mysefl from it but it never came.

When i re-edit the mail.php, everything returned to normal

any clue?

Well, check if you are really editting mail.php the right way. It should work without problems.

i did so. i just copied and pasted....:(

Restore the mail file from original 3.0.9, and test from the admin cp mail debug. Then apply the changes, and test, see what the vB mail debug message tells you.

Is there a way to make this work with the community bulletin hack? Currently bounced emails bounce to the root email address. I changed the settings(temp) to collect from the root mailbox and it only forund 16 out of over 2000 bounced emails.

1- need to make comm-bull bounce to the specified bounce addy
2- need to make it recognize comm-bull bounces

Just took a look, and I think it can be done this way (you need to test it to make sure, just send to a new group with bogus emails)

Find these two lines:
Replace each respective line with:

Don't you need a space between -f and the email address? Just a minor point.

I don't think so. I've been doing it this way since 2.x with no problems :)

That's good :) I'm never sure but thought as the devil is always in the detail I should ask.

Ho hum...

Is there a 3.5 version :$?

Yes: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=83486

Installed as per the instructions and got
Noticed that my existing (working) version of the hack didn't have the
bit in it, so I took it out.
Are you aware that your code is broken? And what do the extra 2 lines do? Are they important?

Not broken, but you may have ran the old installation script with the new code, so you have a mismatch and you're missing a couple of settings in the admincp. Download the zip, run uninstall from the new installation script, then re-install.

Uninstalled and reinstalled and still got the same problem.
The error is indicative of a missing '}'.
E.g. should be
don't see how the code could work otherwise. Very confused.

The code you posted is identical. The only difference is adding an opening and closing {}. So if one caused an error, they other one should as well.

If unsure, use a freash copy of mail.php, then apply the changes to it, as it may have errors from previous edits.

Hi,

I am having a problem getting VBouncer to connect to my IMAP/POP server.
I'm using Cyrus with Virtual Domains...meaning that my username for the account is a full email address (xxxx@domain.com). Could that be causing the problem? Otherwise, I have no idea...I am able to log into the "subscription_notify" address I created with squirrelmail, so the account itself is working fine

ok, found the solution, adding the /imap/notls flag got it to work.
example: {localhost:143/imap/notls}

Great Hack...Installed on AVSForum and will be on TiVo Community.

Question...

The bar graph does not show for me for I call my images from another server.

In the page source I see...

img src="../http://URLremoved/images/polls/bar3.gif"

Note the ../ in front of the image call.

Where can I correct this in the code for it seems to assume local graphic files.

Thank you kindly.

Do you use vb advanced or another hack that re-writes url's. Or does your style use absolute paths for image directory variables?

Hello...

"Or does your style use absolute paths for image directory variables?"

Yes, we set the path for the images to be the URL of the server, not a directory.

Also...I notice that the system sends a warning PM each time it runs to the users over the warning limit. Thus if I have the cleaner program set to run each hour, they get the notice every hour.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Ah!!! I have a great idea. (I think)

Ok, you have the option to act fully on a 5.0.0/550, or what have you, on the first bounce of a mail, Why this can make for an issue as you know, it gave me an idea. (Look at the log, a lot of them are 5.0.0/550.

In any case....here is the thought. Have the option to look at the Last Activity date where you can set..."If have not visited in X days, assume dead e-mail" and then act on it.

So they get a 5.0.0/550 bounce. When the cleaner runs the system looks up the address in the user database, and also pulls the last activity date for that user and says..."is the last activity date that older than X days" If yes, run the full clean options.

You see, looking at some of the users that have bounced, they have not been back to the site in some time, thus it would be great to act on them why it may not be good to act on some others with a 5.0.0/550.

Thoughts?

You can edit the images in the vbouncer.php file in admincp, this line:

Not a good idea to run it hourly, as there are no actions to perform until the end of the period. As stated in step #5 "vbouncer-clean.php (weekly, equal to Bounce limit period)"

95+% of the mail performance issues are due to instant notifications. Those are only sent once per thread, until the member's next visit. If they don't visit often, they will not generate instant notifications, so adding more code for those who have not visited lately will have little impact.

Thanks for th note.

Maybe you do not know my site and thus do not see the same concerns. (Not that you would know the site.)

We see over 65,000 unique people a day with over 3000 showing as on-line most of the day. Over 190,000 register with about 250-300 new registrations a day based on what is going on. Over 6.5 millions posts and under 4000 in Alexa. :)

Running the clean once a week does not work. In 3 days we could have someone already over the other limit and thus to late for any warning notice for it would have already taken action. The site is very, very active and a lot of mail goes out.

I mentioned the idea to check the last visit date because looking at some of the users that have bounced mail, they have not been to the site in over 6 months. You see, we have threads that are active still for years.

Oh, the image path. Ys, I had seen that line but would not know what edit out to stop the ../ part.

Thanks

vBouncer was written for large sites. Smaller sites have no use for it, so I'm aware of the load issues, that's why I wrote it :)

You don't need to run the "clean" cron once a week, but hourly is an overkill, and provides no benefits, unless your warning period is defined as hourly. The interval should be no less than your warning interval, can be 2 days, 3 days.

Users who have not visited for a month or more, will never get instant notification emails. It's either the daily digest, or the weekly digest. If you set your digests to run in the off hours, then 99% of the mail load damage is caused by instant notifications, which is done by active members only.

have i had to much crack today or does my vb have no email.php?

mail.php, not email.php :)

Hello...

I have been using this for some time now and it works great.

However I just moved my mail to a new mail server and I have run into an issue. Here is the error that is reported...

Failed to access email, please check vBouncer mail settings.
Last error: Certificate failure for mail.tivocommunity.com: self signed certificate: /C=US/ST=Unknown/L=Unknown/O=Unknown/OU=Unknown/CN=cambridge.micfo.com/emailAddress=ssl.net
Unable to clear bounced emails, exiting.

The question is, is their any way to ingnor this error and contiune on? The POP3 account does work just fine but it seems SSL is getting in the way for PHP is using IMAP.

Please help.

Thank you.

Try adding "notls" into the connection string.

Anybody up to trying to get this updated for 3.6.x?

Can you please fix code suggested for mail.php? Because as it is in the notes, there are some curly brackets missing, and since the time I did that suggested change, all email from my sites were stopped.

Also, if one of the guys/gals who posted in this, have installed this hack and it is working, can you please tell me how you modified your mail.php file?

One more thing. I am trying to use the file method for this hack. The file /var/spool/mail/rejects (or whatever you call the account name), is owned by rejects and the group is mail. The permissions are set to 666, but as soon as procmail delivers mail to it, it is reset to 600. Also, I do not see anything in my php configuration, regarding pop. All I see is :

mod_php4, mod_setenvif, mod_so, mod_auth, mod_access, mod_alias, mod_userdir, mod_actions, mod_imap, mod_asis, mod_cgi, mod_dir, mod_autoindex, mod_include, mod_status, mod_negotiation, mod_mime, mod_log_config, mod_env, http_core

Is mod_imap the required procedure to access the email account via POP3? If so, why do I get a Failed in diagnostics?

"Your PHP installation supports IMAP/POP Failed"

Thanks

Anyone can answer the above please??
