Problem was CFS firewall was blocking port 993 in my server. And when i open that port it collects them. Sorry about that, i couldnt think of firewall im using.
Now i collected bounced mails then i ran "Bounced Mail Threshold" it sent members pms and changed their setting. When i rerun it it sends same pms to these same users again and again in each "Bounced Mail Threshold" run. Shouldnt it send pm only once and process one member only once? my "Bounced Mail Threshold" is 1 |
It will only send it to them once, unless for some reason it fails to set dbtech_vbmail_bounceflag to 1 for those users. Check that it has correctly flipped to 1 for those users :)

I've installed this and am running into a problem. We use google as our mail server with mail.(ourdomain).com aliased to google. I've set up a bounced email address - bounced@(ourdomain).com through google, but I'm not sure what to put in the vbmail settings in order to get this active and working. When I attempt to run the cron task for bounced mails, it times out and gives me weird error messages.

You can get the answer for this 3 posts above yours :)
IMAP Host: imap.gmail.com IMAP Port: 993 Use SSL: Yes Fillip |
Thanks for the fast followup, I had to put the bounced@(ourdomain).com instead of just bounced in the email field. Sorry.
I have 180k users, with probably tens of thousands who are orphaned, spammers, etc. Is there going to be a way to mass delete bounced emails? |
vBMail will collect the bounced mail from your server and store it on your server - it's not supposed to be deleted from vBMail's database :)
Fillip |
Fillip, just wanted to say that I'm pretty impressed with this. I'll probably be buying a lifetime version shortly.
Have you given any thought to extending this to handle unsubscribing members from threads & forums as well, making it an all in one program? |
It already does, if they reach the bounced mail threshold they will be unsubscribed from those parts as well to avoid future bounced mail :)
Fillip |
Whoa, really? It removes their thread / forum subscriptions? You should REALLY list that as a feature above then, that makes this a MUST HAVE. Great work, and thank you again for a good piece of software.
|
It doesn't remove them, simply turns off email notification for them :)
Removing them outright would be disruptive to users who then proceed to change their email address to a valid one. Fillip |
Is there a way to have this automatically notify the member in question that their email has bounced?
|
Not straight away, but once they have reached the threshold they will receive a PM stating what has happened and what they need to do :)
Fillip |
There's a way to use html code to make newsletter?
|
Yeah, you can use HTML code :)
Fillip |
Can the number of emails sent per hour be altered?
Our server has a limit off 200 and at the moment my email is being swamped with auto-responses saying mail cannot be sent :( |
vBMail uses vBulletin's mailqueue system and I don't believe it supports email per hour limit at this time. Any modification that implements this (if it exists) will work with vBMail, though :)

Will the bounced message re-send of their own accord? We really do need to get mails sent out to get old members back on the site again, but to up the email limit will cost money we simply don't have :( |
It will not, no.
There are plenty of shared hosts that don't impose an email per hour limit, so I suggest you shop around if your current host is unwilling to accomodate you :) Fillip |
Damn.
We just moved hosts due to our hold hosts server continually dying on us. |

vBMail v1.1.6
Feature: Now compatible with vBulletin 4.2.0's Navigation Manager. Fillip |
i use that mod for only bounced mail handling but have a problem with it. it changes user group of banned members too. So their bans are lifted because of bounced mails.
|
Could you please re-create this as a new bug report over at our forum? Sadly it's too easy for posts here on vb.org to get lost / missed :(
Thanks :) Fillip |
Fillip I have a question about the unsubscribe part. When they click the link at the bottom of the email, what happens next? Does it take them to a page where they enter their email address and click a button? Does it send them another email with another link to click?
I'm having serious problems with my host (hostmonster) and finding an appropriate opt out solution :( Hmmm does this handle ALL outgoing emails? IE birthday emails, thread subscriptions, new pm notifies? Or are those still handled by vBulletin? Reason I ask is that hostmonster requires a 1 click opt out for all emails. Meaning that after the user clicks the link in the email, they enter their email addy in a box and click a link/button and be completely done with the unsubscribing process. |

I agree with you Fillip that the birthday emails and such are all opt in and should be exempt, but my retarded host says no.
I don't send out mass emails so I probably won't install this mod, but if it's like any of your other mods I'm sure it rocks :) Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. |
I uninstalled vBmail and sometime I get this database error:

You need to delete the files from this mod once you've uninstalled it.

I decided to reinstall vBMail and I get a lot of this error:

Run these 2 queries:
Code:
alter table forumvb_dbtech_vbmail_mailinglist add external enum('0', '1') not null default '0'Code:
alter table forumvb_user add dbtech_vbmail_bounceflag enum('0', '1') not null default '0'Fillip |

Sorry, but i want to send an HTML email, but when i put it in the ck editor, obviously, it doesnt parse... I can send html mail?
|
Yeah, you can send HTML email :)
You can test it by creating a new mailing list only you have access to, then send a test HTML email :) Fillip |
Fillip,
Great job with the bounced email handling. I'm not sure you understand what a big deal this is. Building on your code, we can now block a lot of outgoing emails that will bounce. I just created an add-on modification (the Poor Man's Bounced Email Handler) that uses your vBMail as a basis to block "new post" notifications. I hope you don't mind and that people find it useful. |
I had a quick look at your code, unless I'm reading it wrong I think it's already covered by vBMail :)
The hook you used is executed in exec_send_notification, and the query only returns users that match Code:
subscribethread.emailupdate IN (1, 4)For the record; we'll never give permission to re-use our code :) Fillip |
