Major Features:

Bounced Mail Handling: Once configured, it will (if so desired) automatically track and handle bounced mail. Alternatively, you can manually handle bounced mail if you so wish.

Automatic "Unsubscribe" Link Creation: If the user receiving the mail has access to unsubscribing, a secure link to unsubscribe themselves from the mailing list will be automatically added to the bottom of the mail. It does not require the user to be logged in, so it complies with spam policies set forth by mail providers.

Mail History: Each past sent mail can be viewed at any time from the front-end.

Advanced Subscription Management: Users can quickly and easily (un)subscribe from the mailing list via the mailing list directory, or the admin can manually change the subscription status in the AdminCP.

Bounced Mail Threshold: When an admin-configured number of mails bounce from the same email address, the user is automatically removed from mailing lists and all other email-related vBulletin features, and notified via PM what happened to their account, as well as directions to change their email addresses.

This mod displays a copyright notification in the footer of pages generated by this mod which includes:

1 Link to DragonByte Technologies homepage
1 Link to Product Description page of this modification

I was considering using this mod, until I saw that part of the copyright info. in the footer includes some sort of an affiliate link to Hivelocity.

HTML Code:

Copyright &copy; {$year} <a href="http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com" target="_blank">DragonByte Technologies Ltd</a>.  Runs best on <a href="http://www.hivelocity.net/?utm_source=Iain%2BKidd&utm_medium=back%2Blink&utm_term=Dedicated%2BServer%2BSponsor&utm_campaign=Back%2BLinks%2Bfrom%2BIain%2BKidd" target="_blank">HiVelocity Hosting</a>.

Looked like a nice mod though. :)

Nothing stopping you from removing the affiliate link, you'll need to leave the links to Dragonbyte Tech intact though :)

Well, I tend to be pretty careful about copyrights. :) I did not want to remove anything and then be accused of.. whatever.

You may want to include this info in the download / main post - it's within an area in the template where it mentions the copyright should not be changed or removed. So like myself, others may not realize it is not a requirement for that particular part.

We'll update our descriptions stating what you can and can't remove in the future :)

Fillip

v1.1.0
* Feature: "Last Mail Sent" column in the Mailing List directory
* Fix: Saving options in the UserCP didn't always work as intended

Code:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/dbtech/vbmail/hooks/init_startup.php on line 8



Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in [path]/dbtech/vbmail/hooks/init_startup.php on line

giving this error

i have to disable all my hooks due to this error because when ever i try to un install this product it makes all my styles with white pages having ugly texts showing up

That error is impossible unless you have edited either /dbtech/vbmail/hooks/init_startup.php or /dbtech/vbmail/includes/specialtemplates.php.

Please try uploading a fresh copy of all files.

Fillip

i think it was conflicting with vBadvanced CMPS.. i have removed both...

just tell me how to get rid of that ugly page which appears after uninstalling this product...

your vbmail was conflicting with vboptimise everything is fine now thanks

vBMail works fine in conjunction with vBOptimise :)

There is no mention of vBMail in those error messages so I'm unsure why you think they're related :)

Please upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.4 or newer, as that was fixed in that version: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...3.8.4-Released

In addition, open those two files and find =& new and replace with = new - that'll silence the errors :)

This mod won't work with https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178327
Anyone please help!

Unfortunately we are unable to guarantee compatibility with 3rd party modifications :(

How we can remove or move user flag by Bounced Mail to new group?
How we can remove or move user Unsubscribed to new group (this user on Inactive Group i've try to send mail)?
And how we can remove Bounced Mail List log if we have more than 10.000 log line?
---I'll upgrade to pro 1yeah, pls confirm.

The first two items are not possible at this time, sorry.

You can prune the scheduled task log by using the "Prune Scheduled Task Log" feature :)

Fillip

vBMail v1.1.8
Feature: List-Unsubscribe header to allow email providers to aid users in unsubscribing
Change: Altered the language of the Unsubscribe portion of the email to make it more unique to each forum

Fillip

Our forum is having a lot of issues with email notifications being blocked by various large email providers (gmail, AOL, bellsouth.net, etc.) If I understand, is that was this mod does - help avoid email from being blocked or marked as spam? Thanks.

No, it doesn't. This mod will help you handle emails that bounce, and help you send out mailing list emails to users.
