I had the same issue. What I found by searching through all the vB code is a couple of places where overridequota was referenced. All that is required to set this to send the PM even if the recipient's mailbox is full is to:

PHP Code:

$pmdm->overridequota = true; 


Here is how my code looks with this:

PHP Code:

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

$pmdm->set('fromuserid', $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
$pmdm->set('fromusername', $vbulletin->userinfo['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', $title);
$pmdm->set('message', $message);
$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$pmdm->set('allowsmilie', true);            

$pmtousernames = implode(';', $pmto_users);
$pmdm->set_recipients($pmtousernames, $botpermissions);
$pmdm->save(); 


Hope this helps everyone that was running into similar problems.

When testing my auto send pm's code I kept seeing users that had pmpopup (popup-based pm notification) not being updated when I sent my auto pm.

If a user has pmpopup notification on this column should show as "1" in the user table. If they receive a new message and haven't read it yet it should show as "2" in the user table. The two denotes that there is an unread popup.

In the case where I was sending a message to multiple recipients I noticed that only the last of the recipients that also had pmpopup notification was having the pmpopup column updated to "2" while other's weren't.

In debuggint this problem I found that in the forums/includes/class_dm_pm.php file that line 557:

PHP Code:

$popupusers = array(); 


is reinitializing the array and therefore causes any previous userids that have pmpopup enabled to be lost (since its within a foreach loop processing all the users)

To resolve this I've commented the line out for now and also filed a bug report with vBulletin to get it resolved in a future release. I found this is 3.6.1 and also in 3.6.3.

Hope this helps some others that found problems in getting this mod working as expected.
