It would be rather nice to see a version of this hack, but expanded to include bouncing Happy Birthday Emails, Bouncing Activaton Emails.

Hi,

i have installed this hack but it seems it doens't pick the right e-mail account out for sending e-mails. In my settings i have [email protected] but he still uses my old e-mail adres where i receive those bounced e-mails.

I have upgrade from 3.0.7 to 3.5.2, in 3.0.7 worked perfect. I have activated the plugin.

any way to expand this to other emails sent out by the forums?

as suggested in this thread

willing to pay for a solution that will work on my server, vbouncer is already working without a problem - PM me if you can help

Same here. I've read the entire thread and the problem was addressed but not fixed.
Subscription emails are still being sent by the webmaster email address.

vBouncer sender email
Test Result
Valid vBouncer email account ([email protected]) Passed
vBouncer email account (s[email protected]) differs from webmaster account Passed

vBouncer Spool File Diagnostics (ignore if using IMAP/POP)
Test Result
vBouncer email spool file () exists Failed
vBouncer email spool file () is writable Failed
vBouncer email spool file () is readable Failed

vBouncer pattern config file diagnostics
Test Result
vbouncer.inc file exists Passed
vbouncer.inc file is readable Passed

vBouncer IMAP/POP Diagnostics (ignore if not using IMAP/POP)
Test Result
Your PHP installation supports IMAP/POP Passed
Your IMAP/POP settings can connect Passed

I was using SMTP before attempting to use this, and subscriptions stopped working. Switched to php and emails are being sent, but from the webmaster address.

I see that you also are running 3.5.2. Are there more people who run 3.5.2 or 3.5.3 who experiance this problem?

Hi,

I am running vb3.5.3 and have the problem of empty Return Path which has popped up before in this thread. I am using the spool file method and my bounce emails are being collected correctly in the bouce mailbox. However, all mails end up with an empty Return-Path setting:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Even if manually modify the Return-Path value in the mailbox file, the vbouncer Stats still does not pick up these emails.

Any idea what is going wrong? I am using postfix as mail system by the way.

Regards,

Pat.

What does the diagnoastics results show? Make sure you enter the bouncer email in the settings. If you use smtp, switch to PHP and see if this makes a difference.

Hi Tamarian,

The diagnostics screen show all PASSED except for the IMAP/POP settings which I do intend to use. The bouncer email address is filled in. I am also using PHP's mail() function rather than SMTP.

Regards,

Pat.

Just wanted to say everything worked just fine for me... 3.5.3 windows installation with remote POP mailbox. No hiccups at all! Fantastic!

Make sure the plugin is active. When testing, make sure to test with a thread notification, and inspect the header.

Hi tamarian - great idea, nice hack and thanks for the effort !

Mine's installed on 3.5 (patched to 3.52) and all seems fine - but for some reason I now get a parse error when emails are sent:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /home/XXXXX/public_html/community/includes/class_mail.php(254) : eval()'d code on line 10

The emails go through OK - I'm using IMAP/POP and get green lights on the diagnostics:

vbouncer.inc file exists Passed
vbouncer.inc file is readable Passed
Your PHP installation supports IMAP/POP Passed
Your IMAP/POP settings can connect Passed

If I disable the plugin the error stops - any ideas?

Thanks - Mike :)

I run PLESK and can't get this to work. I get:

Warning: imap_close(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in /includes/cron/vbouncer-collect.php on line 162

Thanks This did it :rolleyes:

This sounds like a cool hack and much needed on my site. Has this been verified for vb 3.5.3 or will it be updated to work on that version?

I just installed it on my 3.5.3 and it seems to run perfectly, now I'm just waiting to see some ++++ing rats fall into the trap :)
