vBouncer (PHP): reduce server load by unsubscribing bouncing members from threads
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
There's also a vB 3.5 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=83486
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. This was initially released for vB 2.x and vB 3.0.x as a Perl script, and is now fully integrated with vB as scheduled tasks with admin panel control. 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: Manual or auto processing option Collect logs via IMAP/POP or mail spool file Uses vB's cron files (Scheduled tasks) Custom filters to match patterns in bounced emails Encryption header to authenticate bounces. Stats on members with bouncing emails, and error codes Tuning options Verbose cron logs for diagnostics Option to send PM warning prior to reaching the limit Option to send PM notifications after reaching the limit Option to change the member's subscription default Option to all thread subscriptions to "no email" Option to all forum subscriptions to "no email" Option to move offenders to a different primary usergroup 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/cron => includes/cron) 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. Edit includes/mail.php Find: PHP Code:

1. Those emails don't belong to any of your forum members, or 2. They do not match any of the patterns defined in vbouncer.inc Check the emails to confirm they are forum notification bounces. If they are, then you will need to define a pattern in vbouncer.inc to capture them. If you're not familiar with ReEx patterns, post samples of those emails here or send me a copy. |

If you want, send me the subscriber_notify POP access info by PM, and I'll test them to see why the patterns don't work on them, or if a new pattern is needed. |

- 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. |

Here's a link with differnt setups: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.imap-open.php It from the PHP manual, so ignore the code, just look at the example strings like: {localhost:993/imap/ssl}INBOX {localhost:995/pop3/ssl/novalidate-cert} |
