I agree with Anti. The bounces need to be managed by hand. Once your mail is under control, with the right tools, like this one, the process is fast and sure.

Our members resent being moved to awaiting activation. So we turn off subscriptions and emails with a very selective process (automated by a click) and nothing changes as to them participating in the forum.

If they wanna keep a fake email and not hear from us, fine, that is explained. If they want email, they are told with specific instructions on how to edit the email and turn notifications back on.

That process stinks to explain.

Don't even get me started on how VB options and config have 3 different emails settings and what can happen if they don't match and you use SMTP mail. It's not cool and should be a little more simplified. The three may have different purposes, but the mailer does not deal with it properly and creates headers that require an SPF2 record. Most can't figure out an SPF1 record. More don't even know what either is or what they are for. My suggestion is make them all match.

Get control of your mail!
