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.

Installed but guest users can view everything!!

Also, in the settings page of any mailing list does not appear the guest group...

This is intended behaviour, so there's no fix

Then, is there no way to have a mailing list "private" for certain groups?

I think it would be very interesting for many communities.

Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

I believe there is, but I'll look into it for the next version
There's no ETA for the next version yet.

Hi. I've installed this mod and when trying to ad a mailing list got this error:

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.5:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO vbdbtech_vbmail_mailinglist
(title, description, active, displayorder, ownerid, fromemail, external, permissions, bitfield)
VALUES
('Mailing List', 'A mailing list that notifies people of wonderous things.', '1', 10, 0, 'mail@mail.com', '0', 'a:14:{i:7;i:89;i:5;i:89;i:11;i:89;i:23;i:89;i:12; i:65;i:2;i:65;i:13;i:65;i:9;i:65;i:21;i:65;i:20;i: 65;i:6;i:89;i:25;i:89;i:10;i:65;i:19;i:65;}', 1);

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'external' in 'field list'

Could you help me?

[DragonByte Tech]

Run this query:

ALTER TABLE vbdbtech_vbmail_mailinglist ADD `external` ENUM('0', '1') NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'
