vBulletin Mods

I get 50-100 bounced subscription emails per day now that I have entered a correct webmaster email.

I will try and install this hack but I'n only a novice. The instructions look fairly simple (extracting files, running installer, uploading plugin, creating a blank text file (what is a spool file?) because I use qmail. I'm not sure about the task part...hopefully it can be done by the admincp?

Anything I should watch out for?

This is a simple add-on, I'm a complete idiot at php and I made it run in minuttes on a qmail (Look a few post earlier for a little mod to the default script about pop3 access) And made it connect thrugh pop3 and it's working fine for me.

My hosting provide run on plesk / unix freebsd 4.9 whit qmail. And yes this is simple and easy to setup. Go and enjoy the your forum and not your mailbox after this mod :)

when I try to import the xml file it is telling me it is an invalid file. What am I doing wrong?

Its not working. The bounced email keep getting sent to my old address. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I have Qmail and I followed the exact steps outlined in post #2 (remmeber I'm a dummy so if you left out something I didn't do it).

I made an email account and put in the login info into the vbouncer settings (not in the post 1 installation instructions btw).

My forums are on a different server and accessed with a subdomain. Could this be an issue? My server admin wanted to setup an email called [email protected] but we couldn't get EV1 Servers to give us the correct mx or something so he told me jsut to use [email protected] and it woudl work.

I'm lost and I might have to punch my comp if I get another bounced email. :disappointed:

if your mail server is located on another server than vBulletin, then you have to use the IMAP method, to retreive the emails through POP.

to make sure it's working, run the diagnostics, and bounce an email from a thread notification email, and check the headers of that email.

hi wolfyman! What are you doing in this thread?!

ok in the vbouncer settings where it says IMAP/POP connection I entered this:

{mail.montrealracing.com:110/pop3}INBOX

Then just below I entered the normal login info for my email account for the login and pw and it still didn't work. The email gets sent to my old addy.

If this isn't how you setup IMAP/POP then can I have a detailed explanation on how to do it? I logged in as a test user to bounce the email and he didn't recieve a PM either and I have it set to 1 infraction in the settings.

Works with VB 3.54?

looks like it to me

help :(

hoping somebody will show me the way! Thanks for noticing, can I get you something? Beer? Wine? Some cheese, perhaps?

*Waits for a detailed reply to DannyITR. I have the same server setup as Danny with qmail.

Not to worry. I sent tamarian the email headers so hopefully he will be able to diagnose the problem ;)

Thanks

ok I just realized that I never installled and activated the plugin. Man I'm stupid.

I did a test and the bounced emails stopped however the test user I used didn't recieve a PM telling him to change his email and he is still subscribed to threads.

How do I test the program? I have limits set to one offence only.
