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.

hi,
I've been looking through the thread, and not seeing an answer to this, but I could just be missing it.

So I created a new mailing list on m forum, and have it set to be default for registered users. But it seems to only be adding new users as they sign up. What do I need to do, for all the current members? How do I get them subscribed?

Did you set the default as you created the list, or did you edit it later? It won't work if you edit it later.

Where do you set the default as you create the list?
I only see that option after I've already hit save, and then go back into the list to edit.

I tried creating a new list and I don't see anywhere to set the defaults. Not until after the list is already created?

Where do I set the default for which users I want subscribed at the time of creation of the list?

[cdoyle]

I can't figure this out, how do I get all my existing members subscribed to the list?
I really want to send out a newsletter, but right now all of my older members won't get it.

The first time you create a mailing list, all users on the default subscribe list will be subscribed, unless you are running the Pro version which has subscription confirmation. They will then need to click a link in their email to confirm their desire to subscribe.

Should all those users appear when viewing the list?

I create a new list, set all registered users as the default group, but when I view the group it shows nobody. Then as new users join the forum, they will appear in the list.

How can I confirm that all previous members are subscribed?

Can anyone answer this?
I really want to use this mod, but if I can't confirm that it's going to all my registered users, then I'm going to have to uninstall.
