Administrative and Maintenance Tools - EPC vbMailer [LITE] All in ONE E-mail Solution

EPC vbMailer [LITE] for vBulletin

*** Image removed as it was hotlinking to another site and site does not allow for hotlinking ***

(Not just a hack, just a HUGE expansion in getting your communication professionally delivered effectively and efficiently to your forums members)

Brief Introduction:

What we have here is an expansion of a lot of tools that deal with ?effective? communication with your forums members by and through the vBulletin forums system. As you know there are many modifications on the vBulletin.org website that?ll help you manage all of these means, some are lacking other essential needs or you are simply too tired to figuring out which one doesn?t work with what hack. Overall, we have built EPC vBMailer to be the overall and ONLY solution to your vBulletin e-mailing needs. Because you request it in here, we will build it without any questions!

After endless reading on the forums at vbulletin.org, we have found it to be a wise decision to release a LITE and a FULL version, basically a trial version before you buy? Where the trial will not ever end, it?s just a lighter version to the FULL version which has an extended amount of features in it that handles ALL of your e-mailing needs in one!


Core Feature List:

• Templates
  • Add templates
  • Edit templates
  • Delete templates
• Autoresponders
  • Add autoresponders
  • Edit autoresponders

  • Use a template
  • Schedule when to send
• Bounce Management

  • Deletes bounced emails from server
• Settings
  • Easily edit vbMailer Settings inside your config file
  • FULL version has it all built into the /admincp/ with more support

Templates Overview

• Enter a subject, text email and HTML email to easily send them out on-the-fly later
• Templates, like anything else in vbMailer, support variables

Autoresponder Overview

• Setup autoresponder sequences to automatically send out emails
• Very powerful for those of you who want to seamlessly and automatically advertise your forums, or give your users a friendly "nudge" to come back
• Yep, autoresponders support variables too

Compose Email Overview

• Choose a previously created template or enter a subject, text and HTML email
• Choose a time to run the campaign, allowing you to schedule the campaign for whenever you want

(meaning you can setup that advertisement email to run while you are on vacation, phew!)

• And did I mention, composing an email directly also supports variables

Review Campaigns Overview:

• Track how each of your campaigns is doing, by looking at how many emails were SENT, FAILED and READ
• Delete any upcoming campaigns

Bounce Management Overview:

• No more annoying bounce emails filling your Inbox
• Every time the cron runs, it automatically sets the email status to inactive on any bounced emails
• PM sent to user to update his/her e-mail address!

Example of a log when one is bounced:

Email sent [sadfjasdfj2234rr32ff@email.com] using [smtp]

#-Bounces---------------------#
Connected to mail.mydomainhere.com
Logged in as username@mydomainhere.com
Fetched message list

Found bounce [sadfjasdfj2234rr32ff@email.com]
sadfjasdfj2234rr32ff@email.com: Email inactivated
sadfjasdfj2234rr32ff@email.com: Bounce email deleted

Connection closed

Done

EPC vbMailer Variables Overview:

Although you can use anything in the 'user' table as a template variable, the most useful are provided in this list:
[userid]
[username]
[email]
[homepage]
[icq]
[aim]
[yahoo]
[msn]
[skype]
[posts]
[ipaddress]
[pmtotal]
[pmunread]
[warnings]

EPC vbMailer Variables Test Email

So basically you would setup and form e-mail going out to all as an example:

Dear [username],

Today it has come to our attention your posts total today are [posts] posts on the forums.

Total warnings you have on file are [warnings] warnings!

You have a total of [pmtotal] PM?s inside your inbox on the forums, also do note that you have a total of [pmunread] unread PM?s

SKYPE: [skype]

Your User ID, which is a number and can be found to be as follows: [userid]

Your sign-up IP address was: [ipaddress]

Best regards,
EPC vbMailer and Team

EPC vbMailer Outcome E-mail

Enough of that one, below you?ll see the outcome of the e-mail:

Dear BillyBoyGates,

Conclusion:

You have installed at LEAST 5+ separate hacks to mount up to what we just created but coded you here in the LITE version, do note this, in the FULL version for less than a happy meal you will have even more flexibility. Whether you wanted to run a newsletter, or send out a series of e-mails (autoresponders) or simply schedule the sending times and letting EPC vbMailer will do it for you seamlessly.

In the LITE version, you will need to note, there is a set limit on how many e-mails that can be sent out due to the core of the LITE wasn?t designed to handle UNLIMITED.

Make sure you check it out in the LITE first to see if this is something you would like, with full SUPPORT too you if you clicked install. Bottom line, we are just happy to accommodate anyone and everyone.

How do I get support?

Also comes with a 22 page End-User Documentation, all clean and sectioned out for you in PDF. Make sure you have Adobe READER v6+ not a RIPPER

Support is given to those who click INSTALL...

However if you have questions before installing do let us know, we have tested this on 3.6.8, and if you have a forums that is prior, please let us know if this works and report this here! Others will appreciate it a lot.

All support for the LITE version will be held here only if you click install, and if you purchase the full version all support is handled in the order received by our full-time reps in the CSC, NO support is held here for the FULL version!

So here's the LITE version and it comes with a full set of instructions and if you require any assistance on how to find feeds and what places are best for feeds, do post them in here.

Also if you post anything in here that has NOTHING to do with the hack and support, question related issues, i.e. Starting drama on anything not related to this hack, "it is no good", "I guess this will ruin this", and blah blah, keep your drama out please!

Is this text hard-coded in the PHP files? I couldn't find it in the phrases. If so can you please add an option to change or customise this - I already have a more user-friendly notice on the bottom of my emails and I don't want this on there.

Secondly, what happens to a mailing if it gets stuck or times out in the middle somewhere? Our current mailer solution (not in VB) allows us to continue mailing from the point that it timed out, so we can ensure no users get repeat emails. Our test mailings in 'Review Campaigns' have some failed emails (with valid addresses though) - do subsequent crons try to send these failed emails or is that it?

Also, it would be nice if the campaign stats kept track of how many bounces there were .

The failed emails won't try to go out again. When an email fails, the user is put to a "bounce list" so that they don't receive emails again. In the FULL edition, that user will receive a PM saying they need to update their email.

That's not what's happening on my full version. I set up a campaign with 3 emails, 1 of which was known to be non-existent. All 3 emails were sent - but the bounce was returned and the PMs sent to admin and the user. All 3 emails are listed as sent in the campaign though.

[AzzidReign]

Are you getting the bounced email in your inbox? Maybe you are not receiving a bounced email or vbmailer isn't logging in and catching it, therefore it thinks it was sent out properly.

No - I'm using a POP account created especially for this purpose. vbMailer is logging in and finding the bounced mail ok, and sending the PMs.

Support are looking into my install as there are more important issues than this causing me grief at the moment .

Yes we are finding that doing a run on your forums there it's taking forever to login to your POP accounts for some apparent reason or another, as said we would better diagnose this if we had full access to this server. We are trying our hardest on this and trying to diagnose this issue that you are having and can't seem to pinpoint it with these issues.

So we are trying to figure out what is what here vs their forums and your forums, we just cant run all the tests due to restrictions of your sysadmin. We are still comparing the differences because you guys use the same server type if I am correct...

Only thing we are pretty concerned about is this:

eAccelerator

Don't give up, because we are not

[aus_dave]

I'm concerned about these errors that are all through the log files:

[error] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function:  addaddress() in /home/user/public_html/forums/includes/cron/vbmailer.php on line 0

I think this is related to the script more than the server.

[AzzidReign]

I'm not sure if this could be easily integrated, but there's a mod for inactive users, to where it sends out emails every day to people who've been inactive for x many days (here)...I thought it might be nice to have it along side this mod so that you can review the campaigns, see who's receiving emails and who's not. And for those that we can get in contact with at all, I guess we could move them to an inactive usergroup :P

It's just a thought, I can deal with having 2 separate mods

[JirQUEST]

i am curious... why does mine not run? i use sendmail, and i keep thinking it might be the scheduled tasks, though i might be wrong.

No idea why it doesn't run, but as I understand it you can only check bounced addresses if you use smtp for sending.
