This is turning out to be quite good.

A few suggestions:
1. a page which overviews who has sent invitations.
2. on the page which now overviews the invitations, you can see how many they have left to send and other things, and you can edit easily how many left they can send.
3. a setting to set how many invitations people can send per usergroup.
4. an option to reset how many invitations people can send.
5. an import buddy list from hotmail, gmail, etc. to send out emails to everyone on there buddy list.

Apart from that, it is coming along really nice.

Thanks.

1. Use your own Domain Name Server and Configure It.

If you have a dedicated Domain Name Server (i.e., you're not using your host's DNS), you should be able to change Domain Name records for your domain (i.e., domain.com). Each DNS control suite is really different -- WHM, for example, has a dedicated automated system for parsing each entry that impacts the various exchanges of your domain. Learning the domain name system configuration syntax of your Domain Name Server is essential if you want to alter aliases or exchanges so that they maximize SEO and minimize Blacklisting. Check with your Registrar and your individual dedicated hosting company if you're not familiar with this process.

2. Configure your Sender Policy Framework.

Once you are able to alter records for your Domain Name Server, adopt one of the standards of compliance (such as OpenSPF or ReverseDNS) to properly identify your server's machine and prevent it from being blacklisted by major spam tools. You can Google these for some introductory documentation on setting up policies that direct robots and ensures it is properly being identified.

[[Head explodes.]] Thanks anyway

To expand on Kaelon's reply: Email is easy to forge. DNS is not. Anyone can send an email with your address in the From header, so many modern spam detection systems place a greater importance on authenticating the originating server. In simple terms, mechanisms like SPF and Reverse DNS, when used with an appropriate From address, are used to tell spam detection systems that the server from which the message is being sent is genuine, and that the address in the From header really is the address of the sender.

More information about SPF:
http://www.openspf.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework

More information about Reverse DNS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup

You do not need to operate your own DNS server to implement SPF and Reverse DNS. However, you do need to be able to make changes to your domain's DNS record, and your ISP or hosting provider needs to allow and support this.

HTH.

Tested with plugin turned off and the delete user functions correctly.

Is there a fix?

I have a question about this modification.

When I delete one or more inactieve users than this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/loacl/psa/home/vhosts/......./httpdocs/Forum/includes/class_dm_user.php(2263):eval()'d on line 1
The people that I delete the are not deleted in the invitelist.
When I click on this name or names: Invalid User specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator.

How can I fix this?

I have version 2.03 installed.
