Hello,

I did the change and the main result is ok even if not quite what I expected ;-)

I did like that:

Created a new user
login = "Server "
userid = 114320

edit ezbounce.php
do I need to write it differently ?

The PM are sent in reality with author's userid = 0.

I'm already happy with that if no better could be done. :-)

Thank you

Martin

It should be:

Thanks for the hack!


Edit: When this hack is enabled, mass email sending is taking too long... I have some other hacks installed and vbulletin's mail queue enabled:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133844

When i disable this hack, 5000 emails directly goes to the mail queue and all those 5000 users are listed... when it's enabled, it sends emails 1 by 1 and it's not reasonable for 100k+ emails. Is it because of the added link to the emails' headers?

anyone got it working for 3.6.8? need help installing it

Installed and get this error any ideas?

Well done !!

Thank you very much. It's perfect now !

Hello Antivirus,

I'm not sure it's quite such a bad idea since it depends on how the private message is redacted. With a well balanced message it could have no unwanted effect and be somehow harmless for the admin. :-)

At least it's my point of view. You are naturally the master for this very very good hack ;-)

But it could be just an option could'nt it ? ;-)

Martin.

I agree with Anti. The bounces need to be managed by hand. Once your mail is under control, with the right tools, like this one, the process is fast and sure.

Our members resent being moved to awaiting activation. So we turn off subscriptions and emails with a very selective process (automated by a click) and nothing changes as to them participating in the forum.

If they wanna keep a fake email and not hear from us, fine, that is explained. If they want email, they are told with specific instructions on how to edit the email and turn notifications back on.

That process stinks to explain.

Don't even get me started on how VB options and config have 3 different emails settings and what can happen if they don't match and you use SMTP mail. It's not cool and should be a little more simplified. The three may have different purposes, but the mailer does not deal with it properly and creates headers that require an SPF2 record. Most can't figure out an SPF1 record. More don't even know what either is or what they are for. My suggestion is make them all match.

Get control of your mail!

Ok it's your opinion but what if it is an option you valid or not valid ? :-)
You would stay with manual manner and we could trust our own MPs for the diplomacy...

I have no idea what that means.

I need the pulse of my forum. Some things require a human touch and according to our members, who are the only opinion that matters, we need to take the time to evaluate the situation and help them if necessary.

My forum is about the members, not me. Seems to be a popular stance for keeping quality members.

But hey, you're free to code a fully automated system and share it to assert your opinion. I'm sure there are some who agree with your opinion. Make them happy. Be proud. Code your idea and release it.

Thanks

I'm trying to put a SPF record right now.

What would the second SPF record look like?
