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.

Grrrrr.. the template issue is with another MOD not this one. Guess I mixed it up :/
Forget about that part.

Just need to know this part..

What to do when the mod fails to moderate 1 bounced mail and sends it to my mail?
Also to upgrade just need to upload the xml or need to upload EVERYTHING again ?

[Terrablade]

Hello? DragonByte? do i need to upload all files again or just the .xml for the upgrade?

[DragonByte Tech]

To upgrade to a new version, upload the files again and re-import the XML file.

The installation and upgrade instructions are found in the readme.txt file and they are identical

Dragonbyte when uploading vbmail its showing me this error...



The file uploads but the link on the left side for vbmail doesnt get added.

whats the issue?

[DragonByte Tech]

I'm not entirely sure, but those files are vB files, not our files. I'm not sure why it's throwing warning errors for you.

Fillip

[Terrablade]

That was fixed BUT the vbmail option is not appearing on the left hand side of the admin cp. Any ideas?

[DragonByte Tech]

Add yourself to Super Administrator in config.php

Hi,

How can I automatically subscribe usergroups to a specific mail list?

Go to the Administrator Permissions page and ensure you have the Can Administer vBMail option. If you don't have access to that page, then you are not flagged as Super Admin.

There's a "Default Subscribed" checkbox in the instance permissions list when you edit a mailing list.
