Is it fit for vb 3.6.1? Cos I used it on 3.5.4 and it was very good :)

any update word on this ?

I hope so :(

recently cpanel made some changes to its mail data store, where instead of using single inbox file. it uses maildir format, which has cur, new, and tmp folder. In this case, does it work?

Thanks to the poster of this php to make vbouncer work under vb 3.6.1.

I have collected his script with the original script, for ease of use to the unexspiriense users of vb. I'll hope you all understand my motive.

I with this I'll say it is working with Vbulletin 3.6.1 updated

Nice! Very nice, thanks!

But beta. Why isn't there a real version :)?

ask Tamarian

Does anyone know what he means by the :

6. If you are using vB's SMTP email option, make sure to also enable the "-f" option.

Becuase i really need to know about that badly.

You can find that setting at your e-mail options (vboptions in your ACP).

The F parameter can prevent rare cases when E-mails aren't being send.

Thanks, i was wondering if i used the vb php call instead of the smtp should i leave it as is?

Have this running in 3.5.4.

It collects the bounces, does the stats, but NEVER logs anything for the cleanup action nor does it actually change anything for the users who should be cleaned up!

Any suggestions to fix this 'inaction problem'?

Yes, I've set it to automode ;=)

UPDATE: OK, despite the fact my forum USES the smtp server, I had to remove -f to make it work.

NEXT QUESTION: Suggestion - how to make it unsub the user from PM notification emails?

What's the word on this and vB 3.6.2?

Thanks!

Hi, i update to 3.6.2....there is some update o i have to change something?

Thanks 3.6.1 can be change to 3.6.2??

Thanks in advance

Can someone tell me if it also works for vB 3.6.2?

Yep!

well, it's working, but not 100% fake and not working address still comes to your inbox, that was not the issue on earlier versions of VB with vbouncer

I have this same issue. Hopefully this can be fixed? Willing to donate if necesary.

For me it's important that if a user's e-mail address has bounced for a certain amount of times (so basically when the conclusion may be drawn that the e-mail address no longer exists), the user will be moved to another usergroup, or deleted for all I care. I have too many members to keep it all up-to-date manually, and besides I wouldn't know how to figure out to keep track of how many times an e-mail address has bounced. There is just no way to do this manually, and there are too many users that register with a hotmail account for example that no longer exists after a couple of months.

Does vBouncer still do in 3.6.2 what I want it to do? I didn't totally understand what you said in your post. If fake and not working e-mail addresses would still reach my inbox, then what does this script do??

:confused:

It do count the number of bounced mails, but it don't deleted them :( And it doesn't rewrite the send mail address from your system as supposed

That makes it pretty much useless for 3.6.2, doesn't it? I mean, I can count the bounced emails myself :rolleyes:

Does it still do this: 'It then issues a PM warning, and when the unsubscribe threshold is met, it will will unsubscribe them for all threads, and sets them to the "no email" subscription level.'??

Because if it moves the bouncing e-mail addresses to a seperate usergroup (I'm assuming that this happens automatically after an x amount of bounces), then I can remove all the users from that usergroup once in a while. That way I would receive less bouncing e-mails and it would reduce server load.

Looks like this hack is not supported anymore. Here are a few bug fixes for those who still care.

1. There's a bug in the regular expressions: all occurences of should be replaced with
otherwise an email address scraped from this line: "Final-Recipient: RFC822; <xxxx@test.sg>" will include the final ">" ("xxx@test.sg>"). Apparently it affects all addresses at charter.net.

2. Next thing, sometimes members fill out their email in capital letters, but reporting MTA rewrites them in lower case, such as: "Final-Recipient: RFC822; USER@aol.com" for the user provided "USER@AOL.COM", so md5 check of USER@aol.com will be against md5-encoded USER@AOL.COM and a bounce will be reported as forged when it's in fact not.
The solution: strtolower() member email address before sending and also strtolower() before checking them against X-Return-ID.

3. Finally, the recipient email address may be an alias for the different account. In this case "Final-Recipient" line will include that another email address instead, and the check for the forged bounces will fail. This one is tough to correct. It is amended by adding another custom header with an original email address and checking md5 against it and not the one scraped from a "Final-Recipient" line. But obviously this is a bit more prone to the errors and the possible forging though.

Where are this line located: RFC822;[ ]*[<]*(\S+@\S+)[>]?

Thanks, but can you please englihten this more? Or post an updated file.

Hi all,

Need some advice if you can, I uninstalled vbouncer for various reasons, I used the uninstall script to do so but my members that had previously bounced emails are still not recieving subscription emails or normal vbulletin sent emails, can anyone advise why or how to make it so they can recieve emails. BTW - I logged into theor account and checked all of their settings and they are ok / correct.

Please help

Is there a 3.6.3?

I made a new E-mail address (notificaty@) but the mails are still send from webmaster@. Did I do something wrong?

running a new version of Vb, that's all :(

You're joking right?
So it doesn't work?

I'm interested in this for the latest version as well.

Not at all

it is working when you manually use your "fake" e-mail address as sender, ex. when you use the "Send e-mail to users" function under "users" in admincp, then it is a powerful tool

Ok.. That's nice.
But of course I also want to use the notify-function.

well then i suppose you re-write it all :) I wouldn't mind if you did :)

I can't my friend ;). Otherwise it was done already :D.

Can`t even install it. Step 1 gives me this db error:

I get the same error.

i remember there should be a solution to this issue earlier this thread, go search and you'll find it

i did search. and the only reply i found was the one above my last post. so i guess i'll start digging through all the pages.

Found it on like 19, however after step one now i get

lol this is also described in a earlier post :) clean your DB for Vbouncer tables, and run the installer again.

The problem is that you all ready have run some of the installation.

I use vBouncer and I'm not satisfied. Its very limited in that it will only inform users who bounce emails from thread subscriptions. That means whenever I send out a mass email, all of those bounces are not caught by vbouncer.

Is it working properly?
