For those complaning about this feature: If your server is properly set up (reverse DNS, proper SPF record), you'll find that using the webmaster email address is MUCH less likely to get the invitations flagged as spam, compared to using your users' email addresses.

Sorry, but I think that's rubbish - the user will be inviting a friend by entering an email address that they've probably already written to. How could their own email be marked as spam over one from an unknown, new source?...

It,ll be awesome if there's contact importing from yahoo msn gmail etc...

I can provide you importer if you can add ?

[smirkley]

Special request please ??

Is it possible to ask the install to also offer the option in Automatic Link Creation in admincp, to include the option of the usercp link to be in the left usercp sidebar located under the Miscellaneous link group ?

Thank you, and appreciate the mod!

As long as it can be disabled. Can't have people spamming.

Because most spam detectors these days look at e-mail message sources, which show originating IPs and machinenames; e-mail sent from the vBulletin system, whether from a user who knows another user's e-mail address, or from the system itself, will all contain the same originating trace markers.

If you know how to properly configure your server as fullfactor suggested (reverse DNS, SPF record modifications), you can avoid this problem.

Ok, fair one - can you clue us in on how to?

Generally, there are two things you will want to do (broadly):

1. Use your own Domain Name Server and Configure It.

If you have a dedicated Domain Name Server (i.e., you're not using your host's DNS), you should be able to change Domain Name records for your domain (i.e., domain.com). Each DNS control suite is really different -- WHM, for example, has a dedicated automated system for parsing each entry that impacts the various exchanges of your domain. Learning the domain name system configuration syntax of your Domain Name Server is essential if you want to alter aliases or exchanges so that they maximize SEO and minimize Blacklisting. Check with your Registrar and your individual dedicated hosting company if you're not familiar with this process.

2. Configure your Sender Policy Framework.

Once you are able to alter records for your Domain Name Server, adopt one of the standards of compliance (such as OpenSPF or ReverseDNS) to properly identify your server's machine and prevent it from being blacklisted by major spam tools. You can Google these for some introductory documentation on setting up policies that direct robots and ensures it is properly being identified.
