works on 3.7 :) thanks!

still waiting on help

I have been looking into phplist which has advanced bounced email management. It can even distinguish between bounced email that do not need to be managed and those that do. Since it is open source, it may be a good idea to take a close look at the source code for these functions.

Hi,

I've had this installed for a while now, It looks a great mod but I don't think It's working for me..

I'm still getting emails from Postmaster saying Mail Delivery Failed..

Ofcourse, It's members that don't have a valid email? Does this mod work with that?

Thanks,

it can't stop mail from bouncing, but it adds headers in the bounced message that you can use to easily manage the bounced mail, turning off options for that member to recieve email and reminding them to update their email addy...

i take it back

when i click the link when i receive a bounced e-mail i get this error

If the member doesn't have an invalid email, then any emails sent to that member fromthe forums will bounce. When you click on the link in the bounced email's header, the member will be "managed" for bouncing (meaning different things depending upon your settings for this mod).


Array merge errors were fixed quite some time ago, so not sure why you're getting that error. Is the user you are clicking the link for in your database? Is there a user with that specific userid? What version of vbulletin are you using? Also - you're using an older version of this mod, please upgrade to version 1.10.

I've come to the point where I actually am affraid to manage bounced e-mails. I'll try to explain why.. I see it happen so often that I get bounced activation e-mails from users who just registered, and if those mails really bounced then these users shouldn't have been able to activate their account, but yet I see them online on my site showing up as registered users which means that they did activate their account. In other words, if I would have managed those users I would have more or less disabled their account 'undeserved'. After all, if they were able to activate their account then they did receive the activation e-mail, and I shouldn't have received the bounce mail. I don't get this.. Is it possible that if an activation e-mail ends up in a hotmail user's junkmail that I receive the bounce e-mail? Maybe I need to look at the type of errors more carefully?

I've also received many many 'this user doesn't have a Yahoo.com account' e-mails about users of which I know that they DO have a yahoo.com account.

I just don't understand all of this. At the moment I'm not using ezbounce because I too often think that I am putting users in the bounced usergroup who shouldn't be in there. I'd appreciate some advise. Thanks.

Your issue is most likely due to the way Yahoo sometimes bounces delivered emails. Please see this post for more information, then read back a couple posts as well.

Yahoo is notorious for their soft bounce issues...
