Is there anyway to add all users to the vbmail subscribers list?

Default Subscribed - If the intention is that the list of users marked set by default, so it does not work.
How do I can include all registered users....
Another question
How can I set the text direction to Hebrew text right to left

Not at this time, sorry :(

The "Default Subscribed" feature will subscribe all users who did not have a subscription status when saving the mailing list.

The text direction will follow what the user's language direction is set to :)

Is this mod smart enough to know the difference between bounce reasons? For example, my server currently has all emails bouncing from ATT due to them blacklisting the server (temporarily). So the emails get bounced, but the reason in the bounce states it's due to being blacklisted. Will the mod know that and not block that user? So that the admin can possibly fix the problem rather than removing valid addresses? Thanks.

Also what does vbmail do if the bounce is due to a user over their mailbox quota?

All bounces are handled equally by vBMail. Due to the vast number of different mail server configurations and their specific ways of returning a bounce, vBMail simply treats all incoming email to the bounce address in the same way. It will increment the user's number of bounces by one.

Users who have been flagged for email change will have their bounce flag cleared when they change their email, or admins can unflag them manually via the User Manager.

Will this work on emails that bounced before it was installed? I have a bounced email account with over a thousand bounces in it. If I install this will it process them correctly?

Nope, cause there will be no "bouncedfrom"-header in them.

I do not email the members very often maybe a newsletter twice a year. The biggest issue I have is emails getting sent to the spam folder. Does this mod improve the percentage of emails that successfully land in the inbox?

First, brilliant mod !!

Only problem I have is that there are no PM's being sent to users who hit the bounce limit. Everything else appears working fine. Lite version

OK, found reason. I had reached my personal PM limit !! It turns out that a few of the PM's were sent (up until I reachd limit) but the rest of the bounced list did not receive a PM. Will they be sent a PM in due course now that I have increased my PM limit??

When we create a new mailing list with default subscription for a certain usergroup, it is not subscribing any user to that mailing list.

How can we subscribe only those users who have opted for receiving Admin email? using the default subscription after creating a new mailing list?

Looks like a great mod, thanks for releasing it, and thanks for your time spent on supporting it.

Does it measure open rates? I'm concerned that much of our mass emails go into spam, and we want to fix that.

I just upgraded to 2.1.3 lite on vB 4.2.2 PL4 and get the following error on vbmail.php

Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: VBMAIL::$version in /home/user/public_html/vbmail.php on line 214

Commented out

Line 114 'version' => '2.1.3',

This removes the error but I have not tried send an email yet.

hi,
I've been looking through the thread, and not seeing an answer to this, but I could just be missing it.

So I created a new mailing list on m forum, and have it set to be default for registered users. But it seems to only be adding new users as they sign up. What do I need to do, for all the current members? How do I get them subscribed?

anyone know the answer to this?

Did you set the default as you created the list, or did you edit it later? It won't work if you edit it later.

Fillip

Where do you set the default as you create the list?
I only see that option after I've already hit save, and then go back into the list to edit.

I tried creating a new list and I don't see anywhere to set the defaults. Not until after the list is already created?

Where do I set the default for which users I want subscribed at the time of creation of the list?

I can't figure this out, how do I get all my existing members subscribed to the list?
I really want to send out a newsletter, but right now all of my older members won't get it.

Bug Fixes:

• Inactive reminders are no longer sent to users who have opted out of admin emails

The first time you create a mailing list, all users on the default subscribe list will be subscribed, unless you are running the Pro version which has subscription confirmation. They will then need to click a link in their email to confirm their desire to subscribe.


Fillip

Should all those users appear when viewing the list?

I create a new list, set all registered users as the default group, but when I view the group it shows nobody. Then as new users join the forum, they will appear in the list.

How can I confirm that all previous members are subscribed?

Can anyone answer this?
I really want to use this mod, but if I can't confirm that it's going to all my registered users, then I'm going to have to uninstall.

If, when you create a new list and tick the "default subscribed" box for the select usergroups, they do not show up in the Subscribed Users list, then please PM me with an FTP and AdminCP account so I can look into this on-site.

Fillip

After clicking "Add New List", I don't see any box to check for "default subscribed". Where is this? This is all I see:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ifduzu4x2o...41.59.png?dl=0
Edit: I found it. You setup the mailing list, then edit it, and check the box under the "default subscribed" column. Then you can see all the users are subscribed.

A question questions:
1) Where do you actually setup and send emails? I don't see any place to create an email.
2) hat is the point of the Manage Keywords section?

Thanks for your time.

Do you have information about the max number of subscribers who can be emailed? I have a mailing list of about 4000 users and I got a 500 error after it seemingly timed out. I was able to send test messages without issue.

Does this mod work for everyone else?
I still can't seem to figure out how to get existing members subscribed to my send list. I was hoping to send out a newsletter soon, but I need it to go to all my members in hopes to draw them back to the site.

I've tried every option I see, I just want to know if this is happening to everyone or just me.

Question on HTML emails.

1. Are you supposed to paste the HTML directly into the editor? The reason I ask is, if I do this, email clients appear to display the emails for the most part OK. But if a user goes to the forum and clicks on the archive, all they see is HTML.

2. somewhere in this thread, I saw that you are supposed to put the doctype within the <body> is that correct?

This might be a really stupid question, but how can I send mail using this?

Ah, I found it. /vbmail.php

Can you please explain why is this in Addons sections of your OP: Poor Man's Bounced Email Handler

Is it really necessary, I had a feeling your solution was complete. What is it missing that you advise people to install that 2nd mod as well? Please let me know because I am considering buying your PRO version to support your development.
