Force users to update email address

[joe1989]

I have a lot of active members that I try to email via the site, but the email address they registered with is no longer used by them, so it's essentially useless. I would like a mod that forced a user to update/confirm and re-verify their email address every X amount of days (perhaps option set in AdminCP). Is there such a mod around, or is there a way this could be done??

Thanks!
Joe

Why force users with a good email to re-enter it? I'd suggest taking the bad ones and updating their account to remove their emails (you can search by email to find them).

Then with a simple template conditional you can bug them to fix it (or lock down entire pages until they do).

<if condition="!$bbuserinfo['email'] AND !$show['guest']">
Your email address bounced, update it!
</if>

Of course a code edit/plugin would let you completely shut people out if they didn't have a valid email.

Joe - I can explain how to use the code provided by Ted to alert your members about their invalid email.

Or did you need a different question answered?

On a large board, it's quite a daunting task to manually go in and remove email addresses for users that have bouncing emails. I'd be interested in a mod that would force users to confirm/verify their email address every x number of days as well. With over 100,000 members, there's no way I have the time to manually go through and edit accounts that have bouncing emails. Would anyone be interested in writing a mod like this? I'd be happy to support your efforts.

I'm bumping this thread. I want a solution like this too.

IMHO: It's something that should be built into vBulletin from the start.

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.
