vBouncer (PHP): reduce server load by unsubscribing bouncing members from threads
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
There's also a vB 3.5 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=83486
vBouncer is a handy tool for busy forums (or those that do not require email verification) to control the amounts of bogus emails sent from and to your server. This was initially released for vB 2.x and vB 3.0.x as a Perl script, and is now fully integrated with vB as scheduled tasks with admin panel control. What vBouncer does: vBouncer monitors your mail spool file, and identifies members responsible for large amounts of bounced emails. It then issues a PM warning, and when the unsubscribe threshold is met, it will will unsubscribe them for all threads, and sets them to the "no email" subscription level. After a couple of runs, this should significantly reduce your server load. Features: Manual or auto processing option Collect logs via IMAP/POP or mail spool file Uses vB's cron files (Scheduled tasks) Custom filters to match patterns in bounced emails Encryption header to authenticate bounces. Stats on members with bouncing emails, and error codes Tuning options Verbose cron logs for diagnostics Option to send PM warning prior to reaching the limit Option to send PM notifications after reaching the limit Option to change the member's subscription default Option to all thread subscriptions to "no email" Option to all forum subscriptions to "no email" Option to move offenders to a different primary usergroup Option to process 5.0.0/550 errors (email unknown) upon a single email, isntead of observing the bounce limit Installation: 1. Extract the files into the corresponding directories (admincp => admincp, includes/cron => includes/cron) 2. Run the installation script in the admincp 3. Fill out the settings menu in the vBouncer section of the admin panel (see the how-to post below) 4. Edit includes/mail.php Find: PHP Code:

I read the php document, looks like it says it needs something called c-client library. I thought php would have imap and pop support built-in, but seems it is more complicate than that. Also, after I tried the c-client library, looks like it is more of a pop/imap daemon than a client. I have my email service on another cpanel server, so I really just need php to be able to read imap mailbox. I am a little bit confused here.
BTW, if I choose to use email forward and now I can read the file locally, how would I update the stats manually? Thanks. |

I'd just install the c-client first as the docs say, then configure --with-imap and --with-imap-ssl and read the error report, if any. If that doesn't work, check with the host or sys admin. |

The documentation on php.net sugguested installing c-client, which might install both the binary and the library, while they should actually suggest the user install it only to get the library, not to install it as a daemon service. I tried to compile PHP directly with compilation option --with-imap and --with-imap-ssl, but got this error: configure: error: Cannot find rfc822.h. Please check your IMAP installation. Looks like it is missing the header file. Not sure if I install c-client will resolve it. I am a little hesitate to install c-client because the installation file tells me it is a daemon service, but my server already has imap and pop daemon service. |
