hi there,
dearest Vbulletin team , my hosting company warned me because of the mails of my forum ...

the vb sends automated mails of un/nessesary mails like thread joining etc...

please tell me how to stop those mails , and make it only for the nessesary mails like : forgot pass/ activation key / registered new user ...

please this is urgent coz the hosting company gave me a second warning and threatened me to suspend my forum

Turn off thread subscribing ability.

In your config.php you have defined the email address where error mails are going to and from where forum mail is being sent. Much of your forum mail will bounce and return to your server. Quickly filling up your mailbox on your server with thousands of emails. This can have an effect on your server's performance and may result in warnings from your host.

It may be worth looking into what the exact problem is. Maybe you can solve it by using a different email address, so email does not get bounced back to your server, but lands somewhere else. If that's the case you would want to look into EZ Bounced Email Management for Admins

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
