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.

Going over the header fully reveals that it is removing the domain from some sender and some receiver tags

Delivered-To: Domain present
Return-Path: Domain removed
Received-SPF: pass (google.com: best guess record for domain of bounce@com designates xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx as permitted sender) client-ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; (this might send the bounce to google.com?

To: removed
From: removed
Sender: removed

Other emails I looked at from other sources including vbulletin default emails do not have this problem.

I hope this helps

I should add that the above is a gmail header. I can't view it in other headers since they never get through. Google is being nice because some of the info is there and they are using their own algorithm and not some really strict service like cloudmark.

Check the email address you've entered as From Email in the mailing list configuration.

I purchased this product and when I did a mailout it truncated all 3 links in the email and turned them all in to 404 errors which of course defeated the purpose of the email

Anyone had this problem ?

Fillip, are you monitoring this thread?

Also, I attempted to register at your VB Forum and your system failed to send me an activation email. As a potential customer, I need to have a reliable means of communicating with you. Your forum contact link does not exist either.

We have had no similar reports of this happening, please try disabling all other addons.

Not as closely as threads at our site.

What is your email provider?

Also, if by "forum contact link" you mean the "Contact Us" link then it does indeed exist
