Can anyone explain how to go about cleaning over 1,000 "invalid" or "no recipient" here issues among various email services with this mod? I think 5 might be too high, maybe try at 1 or 2?

How does the mod determine what is considered a "bounce"? There are so many bounce codes to go by like 450, 451, 550, etc.

Any ideas?

Right now, the method is crude (but somewhat effective). It just counts the bounced emails, as long as they are not bounces for temporary reasons.

The different bounce codes? The current code doesn't look at them. I am hoping that one of you will take this add-on to the next level by figuring out what to do according to the bounce code. For some codes, we would stop sending email after a single bounce, while we would wait longer for other codes. I wish I had the time to do it myself, but I don't.

How do I make bounce backs go to a different address?

Yeah, I see a potential issue when being blocked by an entire email provider. For example, if gmail blocks you then everyone with gmail will not get emails.

Maybe in the meantime a feature to clear blocks of certain email addresses?

My experience is that Gmail and Yahoo just send your emails to the Spam folder and don't bother sending any sort of notification. Of course, different email providers can do different things, but this isn't a problem that I have run across.

If it did happen, fixing it is a simple as running the right UPDATE on the table.

UPDATE beh_users SET deliverflag = 0 WHERE email like '%@gmail.com';

Or something like that.

I used this to send emails to all the "waiting email confirmations" user group. I don't know what I did but I ended up pruning a lot of them. There are now only 44 left in that user group. Half of those though when I click on them, it says "invalid user". I can't figure out how to remove those invalid users from the user group as when I click on "delete" for that user, I get the invalid user screen. How do I remove them for the primary user list in my AdminCP?

This really is beyond the scope of what this modification is trying to do. I would suggest that you try the tools in AdminCP > Maintenance > General Update Tools. One of them might fix it.

Is it possible to add a way to auto move a user to a usergroup if their email bounces back?

I can't help you, sorry, but you can edit the code if you want.

I installed this mod but i use mandrill as mailprovider. I enabled an option in mandrill, which sends the bounced mails to a specific address, which works great,
But: The mails, which will be collected by the Bounced-Script via imap are only deleted and not saved to the database.

the message text of my bounced mail looks like this:

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

in beh_maillist.php i found:

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

This should collect the email from the mail body, right? but why it doesn't work with mine?

Thanks alot!

//EDIT

Got it to work for me. If you get the bounced mail forwarded as shown above, change the code in forum/includes/cron/beh_maillist to this:

around line 174

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

around line 186

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

IMPORTANT:
I improved the plugin to do a much better job, but haven't had time to publish it here. Now, I will no longer be using vBulletin, so I'm giving you all the current code, in the hopes that one of you will take over this plugin and create a new version based on it.

I suggest testing different things with the code to see what works. You might also want to test the code attached to this post.

The following may be useful to someone...

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

Alternatively (or in addition), the following code will change the usergroup to users awaiting email confirmation.

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

Sorry but... where could i find the pm text?

The one that starts something like this:
"The notification emails that the forum sends you"
