Because I have hundreds of newsletter subscribers and forum members who use AOL. If my server is receiving spam complaints from AOL, then that is a big issue for me. My domain could be blocked from AOL and that would not be a good thing.

I am hoping that someone could assist me in coming up with a solution for this. Thanks!

The solution is to include opt-out instructions in every email. Edit the message from your ACP to do so. Here's a sample:

Quote:
Hello, $username!

<p>You are receiving this email because you previously registered at {name of your forum here} with the following information:</p>

<p>Member name: $username<br>
User number: $userid<br>
Email address: $email</p>

<p>It's been some time since your last visit to our community.</p>

<p>You might be interested in having another look. We have added several features and enhancements to the forums, and many new topics and new members are added every day.</p>

<p>If you don't remember your password, you can request it here: <a href="http://{forum URL here}/login.php?do=lostpw">http://{forum URL here}/login.php?do=lostpw</a>.</p>

<p>We hope to see you back soon.</p>

<p>If you do not wish to receive further emails of this nature, please log into your UserCP at <a href="http://{forum URL here}/profile.php?do=editoptions">http://{forum URL here}/profile.php?do=editoptions</a> and uncheck the box next to Receive Email from Administrators.</p>

<p>Administrator<br>
<a href="http://{forum URL here}">{forum name here}</a><br></p>
I include opt-out instructions in every email sent out by my forum. I've had notices a few times (I think 3 or 4) about my emails being blocked as spam at the ISP level. Each time, I hjave forwarded a copy of the email pointing out that only registered forum members ever receive the emails and that opt-out instructions are included - I have had the block removed every time.

Thanks a million! I think that will do the trick :up:

Not sure if anyone else experienced this. I saw people saying it sends e-mails to banned users. But on my board, banned users came back...unbanned.

Does this mod inadvertently un-ban people? Maybe when they click the link to change their password? I'm not sure how he got back, he just e-mailed me bragging saying that he got back because of the reminder e-mail.

No, it doesn't unban banned members.

1. You can select which member groups to email in the ACP under vBulletin Options | Inactive Users Email | Usergroups:

Code:
Usergroups
List the usergroups that you wish to send the emails to here. (Seperate by commas) eg. 2,3,4,7
Make sure that banned members aren't included.

2. How was the member banned? I don't know whether it's yet fixed but in version 3.6.6, I believe, or eerlier, there was a vBulletin bugged where members banned via the infraction system were able to return after one of their infractions expired, even when one of the infractions resulted in a permanent ban.

3. You say he emailed you. Did he return to the forum and post anything? If no, he's probably yanking your chain.

I can't get it to work in 3.6.8.

It works fine in 3.6.8.

What happens when you install it? Which version are you installing? It helps if you provide a bit more information beyond just "this doesn't work".

Sorry. Using your latest version. When I ran it no reminders were sent out. Yes all the appropriate usergroups are added.

Version 1.11 should be labeled "Beta", in my opinion. Try uninstalling that version and installing 1.09.
