THANKS!

Hi

could you share this hack and the makro with us?

I am no PHP expert, my PHP knowledge is very basic but this is what I did.

In ezbounce.php on line 46 look for

Change it to

Then on line 51 look for

Change it to

Now the URL will except your users email instead of their userid.

You just need to use

To process the user, replacing (USER@EMAIL) with your actual users email address.

Regarding the Macro, I use Macro Express and it is quite basic but very specific to me so sharing it would not really help you. Here are the steps I carried out though.

I sent a mass mailing to members, and the bounces start to arrive.
I then use eMail Bounce Handler to grab and handle the bounces.
After about 24 hours I have the majority of the bounces so I export all the hard bounces to a txt file.
Then I use Macro Express to process the list.

The macro basically doe this

Brings the txt file full of emails one per line to the front.
Positions the curser at the front of the first line then cuts the first line
Presses delete to remove the blank line left after the cut.
Brings my browser to the front and selects all in the URL box.
Types in the ezbounce URL stopping after the "="
Pastes the email address and hits enter
A 5 second delay then it repeats itself.

Very primitive I know but it does the job. If I had more time I would learn how to read in a txt file and process the emails all within the script but it was quicker for me to just use a macro at this time.

Now the end result I just have some soft bounces left that I can check more closely before adding them to a list.

Over the next few days there will be some odd bounces etc so I can wait and process them later.

I hope this helps and if you do use Macro Express and want my macro file as a starting point I am happy to share. You will need to tweak it specific for you but I can help with that if you need it.

well antivirus?

Interesting adaptation Devices. Gotta love those macro apps!

This is awesome! Just what I needed...thanks! :D

*clicks install*

Thanks for this - it makes life a lot easier being able to one-click the reminder email bounces :-)

and if I haven't already thanked the author of the hack, I do now... this is a real handy tool for sure.

I installed this and it seemed to work fine. Created a new usergroup with permissions so that they can view but not post until they correct the email.

Now the members in that group cannot login at all. They get the screen that they do not have permission to access and there is this error at the top.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/my domain/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 723

Running 3.7.

Installed and nominated, great mod!! I Have 11.000+ members, and currently It is a hell of a job to maintain al of those mail adresses.

I highly recommend setting up a text about handling email problems in your FAQ. I am compiling one explaining each email provider's problems and solutions. Though it will take quite a lot of time/ Q & A, to complete. This is what I have until now:
I hope this serves others well.
I want to add a link to the FAQ in the PM text, but forgot where to alter it. Could you please remind me?
