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.

I have upgraded to the new version and when I "view subscribed users" or "view unsubscrided users" the usernames a blank.
Will I have to recreate these mailing lists?

[mcyates]

Just added a mailing list with everyone subscribed by default. Wrote and email sent it, received nothing. Also when I look at the "[View Subscribed Users]" all it shows is [Unsubscribe] instead of a username and it says there are 1,433 total entries.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Same here. It was working fine before the update.

[DragonByte Tech]

I'll release an update today to address this.

Still have these problems with the new update.

I uninstalled and installed it. The problem still exists!

I forgot to mention, you need to edit and save each mailing list you had created prior to this problem arising in order for the fix to take effect.
