have you got the default vb activate.php cron running?

No, I have it disabled. And teh e-mails send are twins, I mean they mention the days (It has been 5 days since you registered, and you have not yet activated your account. ).

I am really getting mad with this because I can't find anything that can cause this hack to send the e-mails twice.

can anyone confim this?

if you're using 2.2 or below please upgrade now, it's quite critical, i'm having a few reports of members changing their addresses and everything going crazy. your board will be doomed and your community will die if you do not heed this warning

on another note, just upgrade to 2.3a thanks to sv1cec :)

What are the cron settings for it?

Does this tell them on Day 8 that their account will be removed in 2 days if they do not activate the account?

yes it does sir

run it once a day

GREAT! I will most likely run it once I get some other things smoothed over!

Sabret00the,

I created a test account to verify the warnings send out. Each e-mail was send twice, once on the proper date and one the following day. Here are the timestamps:

1st Action required e-mail: 07/26/2004 11:57
1st Warning e-mail (3 days) : 07/29/2004 11:11
copy of the above : 07/30/2004 11:15
2nd Warning e-mail (5 days) : 07/31/2004 11:55
copy of the above : 08/01/2004 11:16
3rd Warning e-mail (8 days) : 08/03/2004 11:11
copy of the above : 08/04/2004 11:14

Even though I am no php expert, I can't find any part of the hack that could cause this behaviour. At the time being I am creating another test user to try again the whole thing.
