Hi,

I am a vBulletin neophyte, and this is the first mod that I've installed, so please be kind to me.

I've read through the first 30% of this thread without finding the answer to my question, but it is obvious that the mod will work if conditions are right. I'll keep reading, but if someone could help me now, I would be very appreciative!

1. Using 'Run Now', the feedback indicates e-mails are being sent, but they are not received at the other end. I can send e-mails from AdminCP/Users/Send Emails without problem (with and without SMTP set!)

2. Information appears in the Scheduled Tasks log only if I use Run Now - there is no evidence that it is running via 'cron'. (How often is the cron list checked by vBulletin when browsing the messages in my Test board?)

3. In the early part of this thread, there is talk of a limit to the number of e-mails sent out in one go - the code doesn't seem to contain a limit, and I can't see one in the configuration. Is it still there? [Update - I see that it isn't - I'm sure why will be revealed soon...

Thanks

Quentin

OK, I uninstalled, and installed 1.0.9, and the mail is now being sent.

My guess is that I just don't understand the VB Mail Queue (I tried with and without that turned on).

How do I know if it sent any out? I installed the newest version but I didn't see any option to tell it to run. I just edited the settings and saved it. Is there a way to tell if they was sent?

Assuming you are using version 1.09 (highly recommended), the add-on actually runs from a cron job. Go to Admin CP | Scheduled Tasks and try running it manually.

hi C Braithwaite

is there any way that i could check that the mod is working?
like tracking of emails sent and/or report of sent emails etc?

or any alternatives like where to roughly track the effectiveness of the mod?

thanks!
Tom

Doesn't work. In my board, the messages arrive with this sender address:

BFCentral: A Maior Comunidade de Battlefield da Am?rica Latina <BFCentral:A.Maior.Comunidade.de.Battlefield.da.Am ?rica.Latina@sharedhosting2.oi.com.br>

Forum name:
BFCentral: A Maior Comunidade de Battlefield da Am?rica Latina

Email Address:
contato@bfcentral.com.br

Board URL:
http://bfcentral.oi.com.br

I'm using 3.6.5, with SMTP send mail set on NO. My PHP.INI:

sendmail_from admin@bfcentral.com.br
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

Sometimes (depending on the mail client), the sender is just blank.

Plz help me, how can i change this "BFCentral:A.Maior.Comunidade.de.Battlefield.da.Am ?rica.Latina@sharedhosting2.oi.com.br" to a valid address?

Thanks in advance

just change the main email address of your site

The sender email address is wrong. on my forum, i have set the main address as me@abc.com but when it sent out to user it shows the following

"Singapore Motherhood and Parenting Forums" <Singapore Motherhood and Parenting Forums@mail.solone.net>

May i know how to fix it?

Everything else works great!

Thanks,
Edy

whatever you have set your "Webmaster's Email" address to in your site options.

What he's saying is, that doesn't work. I have mine setup, and yet it sends out the reply address as "UF FORUMS"@SPIVEY.UF.COM

OK. I really don't understand how this works... again...

I've set 60 days of inactivity... "Inactivity based on last post" set to "NO"

So... I did a User Search for users with last activity after "2007-06-22" AND before "2007-06-23"... The result was 400 users... Let's say, 400 users with last activity 60 days ago...

But when I run the cronjob, it says it found about 4.000 users...

I searched users only with last activity before "2007-06-23" (60 days ago) and it found like 50.000...

So, can anyone please tell me how this product search for the inactive users? Based on what?

Thanks!

Edit: Just made a test with a Test usergroup with TWO (2) users... Run the cron, and it said "Found 4 Inactive Users."... Now that's weird....

Edit 2: Besides all that.. The mails are not being sent... I really don't know what's happening...
