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.

Is there a way to have this automatically notify the member in question that their email has bounced?

[DragonByte Tech]

Not straight away, but once they have reached the threshold they will receive a PM stating what has happened and what they need to do

There's a way to use html code to make newsletter?

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah, you can use HTML code

Can the number of emails sent per hour be altered?

Our server has a limit off 200 and at the moment my email is being swamped with auto-responses saying mail cannot be sent

[DragonByte Tech]

vBMail uses vBulletin's mailqueue system and I don't believe it supports email per hour limit at this time. Any modification that implements this (if it exists) will work with vBMail, though

Fillip

Ah - that's a pity

Will the bounced message re-send of their own accord? We really do need to get mails sent out to get old members back on the site again, but to up the email limit will cost money we simply don't have

[DragonByte Tech]

It will not, no.

There are plenty of shared hosts that don't impose an email per hour limit, so I suggest you shop around if your current host is unwilling to accomodate you


Fillip

[Martyn1983]

Damn.

We just moved hosts due to our hold hosts server continually dying on us.

I tried but i had some odd behaviour:
i have to write on the editor without spaces like this

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><title>Alteregonline Newsletter</title><link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /></head><body ><center><!-- Table for background color when body tags are stripped --><table align="center" width="98%" bgcolor="#000000" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody>

instead of:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Alteregonline Newsletter</title>
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
</head>
<body >
<center>
<!-- Table for background color when body tags are stripped -->
<table align="center" width="98%" bgcolor="#000000" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>

There's a way to avoid this?
If i use spaces the newsletter appear messed up.
