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 was considering using this mod, until I saw that part of the copyright info. in the footer includes some sort of an affiliate link to Hivelocity.

Copyright &copy; {$year} <a href="http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com" target="_blank">DragonByte Technologies Ltd</a>.  Runs best on <a href="http://www.hivelocity.net/?utm_source=Iain%2BKidd&utm_medium=back%2Blink&utm_term=Dedicated%2BServer%2BSponsor&utm_campaign=Back%2BLinks%2Bfrom%2BIain%2BKidd" target="_blank">HiVelocity Hosting</a>. 	

Looked like a nice mod though.

Nothing stopping you from removing the affiliate link, you'll need to leave the links to Dragonbyte Tech intact though

Well, I tend to be pretty careful about copyrights. I did not want to remove anything and then be accused of.. whatever.

You may want to include this info in the download / main post - it's within an area in the template where it mentions the copyright should not be changed or removed. So like myself, others may not realize it is not a requirement for that particular part.

[DragonByte Tech]

We'll update our descriptions stating what you can and can't remove in the future

v1.1.0

Uses vBulletin's Mail Queue system to avoid overloading servers / avoid "maximum mails per hour" server restrictions

Is this only on vb4? Is a chron system available for vb3?
