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.

It was never about eliminating bounces from any type of bounce generated by the forum - it was catching a specific type of bounced email generated by a specific mail server software such as the one found in cPanel/WHM based servers.

And yes it does

Just so I'm sure I understand -- forum is setup on a cpanel/whm server... If the forum sends out an email that generates a bounce from say a yahoo, gmail or hotmail address, this program will then modify the forum account that generated the bounced email: ex: removing subscriptions and notifying member via PM that their email address needs to be updated -- correct? (EXTREMELY USEFUL)

OR does the email receiving server have to also be a cpanel/WHM server (in which case this would be fairly useless).

[maria bartolome]

how and where to send this email options HTML ??

[Code Monkey]

Nice Mod except all the from addresses are username@com. Which of course sends it into spam folder if your lucky, get's your IP spam flagged if your not lucky. Any ideas?

[Code Monkey]

I was tired when I wrote the above. Let me give more detail.

Everywhere in the app the sender email address is displayed properly. But in the actual email received the domain is missing from the header of the email.

So instead of it showing the sender as username@mysite.com it shows it as username@com with the domain and trailing period removed. This will flag your emails as spam and either send them into a spam folder or most likely get you listed. Either outcome is undesirable but the latter is death to a forum.
