vBouncer: reduce server load by unsubscribing bouncing members from threads
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
vBouncer is a handy tool for busy forums (or those that do not require email verification) to control the amounts of bogus emails sent from and to your server.
What vBouncer does: vBouncer monitors your mail spool file, and identifies members responsible for large amounts of bounced emails. It then issues a PM warning, and when the unsubscribe threshold is met, it will will unsubscribe them for all threads, and sets them to the "no email" subscription level. After a couple of runs, this should significantly reduce your server load. Features: o Manual or auto processing option o Collect logs via IMAP/POP or mail spool file o Custom filters to match patterns in bounced emails o Uses vB's cron files (Scheduled tasks) o Uses encrypted header for authentication (suggested by Paul M). o Stats on members with bouncing emails, and error codes o Tuning options o Verbose cron logs for diagnostics o Option to send PM warning prior to reaching the limit o Option to send PM notifications after reaching the limit o Option to change the member's subscription default o Option to all thread subscriptions to "no email" o Option to all forum subscriptions to "no email" o Option to move offenders to a different primary usergroup o Option to process 5.0.0/550 errors (email unknown) upon a single email, isntead of observing the bounce limit Installation: 1. Extract the files into the corresponding directories (admincp => admincp, includes => includes) 2. Run the installation script in the admincp 3. Fill out the settings menu in the vBouncer section of the admin panel (see the how-to post below) 4. Import and activate the plugin file through the plugin manager. 5. Once ready, add the cron scripts to your scheduled tasks: vbouncer-collect.php (should be run daily, or more frequently) and vbouncer-clean.php (weekly, equal to Bounce limit period) 6. If you are using vB's SMTP email option, make sure to also enable the "-f" option. Change log: - August 12, 2005 v1.3 Update to the cron files to match new changes in vB's cron/tasks. To upgrade, just re-upload the contents of includes/cron. - July 11, 2005 v1.2 Bug fix for some server/PHP setups; resolve aliases for return keys, otherwise some aliases would be considered forged. - July 5, 2005 v1.1 Bug fix in standard report pattern matching - July 4, 2005 v1.0 Added encrypted header for authentication (suggested by Paul M). - July 3, 2005 v0.9.1 fixed a bug preventing IMAP/POP log collection. - July 2, 2005 v0.9 added IMAP/POP option and custom filters file vbouncer.ini - June 27, 2005 v0.5 Added custom header setting option, for re-written headers. - June 26, 2005 v0.4 Found a way to make it work as a plugin, without code edits (thanks to Paul M) - June 26, 2005 v0.3 No changes, just removed the plugin - June 25, 2005 v0.2 Added NDR/Reply code errors to stats, and option to act upon 5.0.0/550 (user unknown) - June 21, 2005: v 0.1 Initial release. Marked beta, but it's working fine on PostFix and SendMail. Need to hear from those who tried on QMail and Exim Show Your Support

- July 4, 2005 v1.0 Added encrypted header for authentication (suggested by Paul M).
To upgrade, uninstall, then re-install and re-upload all files. Also, delete the existing plugin, and then re-import it, if you want to use the encrypted header. |

This is really a neat idea! Well, I download the package and installed it to an 3.5.0 RC2 board. Everything went fine except when running the cron jobs. I get this error:
Code:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /forums/includes/functions.php on line 4240 |

Hmm... yes, I get this error when I run other vB cron tasks. What could be wrong?

It seems to be a vb bug, from what I have seen on the com.
