- - vBouncer: reduce server load by unsubscribing bouncing members from threads (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83486)

that because there have been huge changes within vB since this add was released. But if you just remember to use your "fake" e-mail address when you post, it does work, and collect properly. and then move the users to the banned group

Have you read the info about this hack and understood have it works?

Yes I do but I don't recall anything requieing me to use a fake email address to post messages.

I have vBulletin running on one server, and my mail server running on another. When I run the diagnostics test, I get PASSED for everything except 'Your IMAP/POP settings can connect.'

As of right now, under IMAP/POP Connection I have '{xxxx.com:110/pop3}INBOX', followed by my username and my password. I have attempted to use my IP Address, mail.xxxx.com and postal.xxxx.com. All of these do not pass the test.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

use this:

Code:

{mail.server.TLD:143/notls}INBOX 



or 



{mail.server.TLD:110/notls}INBOX

that should do it :alien:

any one who have fixed this hack?

Thanks! That did the trick.

I have this set up and it appears to be working EXCEPT that it's not moving the users to the new usergroup that I set up for them.

Is this vb 3.6.x compatible ??

Not sure if this will help solve my problem, but here is a screenshot of my settings...

*certain info blocked intentionally.

So I have this completely working in 3.6.4. I'm not sure what other members are having issue with. It correctly identifies bounced email and will automatically move users into the proper usergroup.

I uninstalled the 3.5 version, using the unistall option. Then I reinstalled using GNDI's version a few pages back.

I did make two changes in vbouncer-clean.php.

Replace the send_pm function with the folllowing (properly sends users pms):

Code:

function send_pm($phrase, $userid, $username, $bounces, $langid, $bouncing_email)

{

        global $vbulletin;



                 $username = unhtmlspecialchars($username);

                eval(fetch_email_phrases($phrase, $langid));



        $pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);         



            $pmdm->set('fromuserid', $vbulletin->options['vbouncer_pm_sender_id']);

        $pmdm->set('fromusername', $vbulletin->options['vbouncer_pm_sender_username']);

                $pmdm->set_info('receipt', false);

                $pmdm->set_info('savecopy', false);

                $pmdm->overridequota = true;                   // Force pm send even if recipient's mailbox is full

                $pmdm->set('title', $subject);

                $pmdm->set('message', $message);

                $pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);

                $pmdm->set('allowsmilie', false);            

                

        $pmdm->set_recipients($username, $botpermissions);

        

        if (empty($pmdm->errors) > 0) $pmdm->save();

        else echo '<pre>111' . print_r($pmdm->errors,true) . '</pre>';

}

Then find:

Code:

        if ($stats['ugid'] == 6 OR in_array($stats['ugid'], explode(',', $vbulletin->options['vbouncer_auto_ug_untouchables']))) continue;

And replace it with (fixes an issue with sending pms and email notices to users who are already bouncing):

Code:

        if ($stats['ugid'] == 6 OR in_array($stats['ugid'], explode(',', $vbulletin->options['vbouncer_auto_ug_untouchables'])) OR $stats['ugid'] == $vbulletin->options['vbouncer_auto_ug_destination']) continue;

That is all I've done. I'm also attaching a copy of my settings so you can see what your settings should look like.

To make sure you're setting this up right - first you create the bouncer email address.
Make sure it works.
Setup a usergroup for bounced users.
Uninstall vBouncer.
Install GNDI's vBouncer. Configure vBouncer.
Check the email account (make sure to leave the messages on the server, so connect using imap or a webmail system) and see if you have some bounced emails.

If not, wait.
If you do, run the Scheduled Task for vBouncer Collect.
Look at the cron log, is there an entry for vBouncer Collect? What does it say?
Look at your vBouncer Stats, are there entries there?
Check the email account again. Have the emails been deleted?

Now run the Scheduled Task for vBouncer Clean. Did it give errors or say done?
Check the cron log, is there an entry for vBouncer Clean?

There you go. I may not have time to answer many questions, but I'll try. Good luck!

I try to clean my db after unistall this hack and when I try to install again give me error any way to upgrade this hack so over write old data ?

Any chance of this being ported to 3.6 or if it works on vB 3.6?

[edit]

Works great - thanks LunarTech. Running 3.6.4.

A bit of any unrelated question: when I installed this I was using php mail. I just changed to SMTP mail using -f param Now, the From address is still my default vbulletin admin email, while the "Return-Path" is the vbouncer email. I'm assuming this is correct behavior. But it would be great to not have the default vbulletin admin email as the "from" address though - I always get people replying to post notifications :(

I was using this hack with 3.5.x and I miss it really in 3.6.x.

It there any way to get this working without great manual work on 3.6.x series?
Maybe authour would agree that somebody else ports it to 3.6.x if he have had no time to do it by himself??? :)

Does this work on 3.6?

I checked the whole post. It seems it`s a douzy installing it, but getting it to work on a busy forum, it comes as a plus. It can run with v3.6.x, but there might be incompatibilities.

I've got it working on 3.6.4 for me, using GNDI's version posted earlier in the thread and the instructions posted above by LunaTech. Thanks guys :)

does it work for 3.6.7?

When I accessed install page, it always displayed the mysql error page,it showed that the sql query is not compatible.....

I can confirm that this is working on vBulletin 3.7 with the changes necessary for 3.6.

For some reason the send_pm function is now giving me trouble.

It seems to be the line:

Code:

eval(fetch_email_phrases($phrase, $langid));

Ideas?

I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxx/includes/class_mail.php(261) : eval()'d code on line 12

using 3.7.1 with the patched version a few pages back and lunatech's edits, i have this fully working on a cpanel/exim server :)

would you mind posting direct links to the posts that mention the correct changes. i see many ideas and its a bit confusing

many thanks in advance ! :)

Hi,
does anyone Port this Hack to 3.8 ?

Does anyone have this working on vb 3.7.4 or vb 3.8?

some brave coder should pick this project. its such a needed mod.

agreed, I need this pretty bad.

This would be a great mod for 3.8...

Working for me on 3.8.1, but I remember making some changes to it a couple of releases ago. Will check to see what I did.

That would be nice! Please let us know.

The only changes I've made are ones for vbouncer-clean.php that were suggested earlier in this thread.

Has anyone compared to this bounce plug-in: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ncer-clean.php ?

I'm trying to decide which to choose, and the other one seems more recent.

I would install this for sure if there's a 3.8+ version to come out

I want this to Send the user a pm when there email was returned as undeliverable , and on the second instance , not allow the user to do anything until he updates his email address

If I read this right I need shell access to my hosting server to set up vBouncer, correct?
Or is it possible to simply have it interact with the new mailbox as a *client*?

Quote:

unsubscribe them for all threads, and sets them to the "no email" subscription level.

how can i do this .. to all my users .. and to all post.
with a mysql querry without using the hack ..?

I need this for v3.8, does anyone have a updated copy that works that I can install?

Seems to work fine for 3.8.4.

Yeap needs to be updated to 3.8.4. This is a huge problem.
