Ok, I'm kind of confused as to what this does?

Hi Antivirus,

This is something I really need

Just one thing,

If I added the user to the banned group, is there anyway to have this
add a reason if they ever came back?

Thanks will install

Clicks install

It allows the the admin of a forum to exclude members who have a bouncing email addresses from recieving mass emails sent by the admin from within the AdminCP.

Not currently, if you specify the banned usergroup in step 4 then they will be treated as a banned member when/if they return. I would suggest usergroup 3 Members Awaiting Email Confirmation instead

np

I just did a test and it works GREAT!!!

That will save me so much time having to search for user names and sort it out that way lol

I would love to see this as standard vb too.

Thanks very much

Hello Antivirus,

This is something I really need, let me check it out.

Thanks.

Oh I was just thinking.

Is there anyway to have this hack open a new thread in a staff forum to notify the moderators?

Banned user name as thread title and then user banned in the thread?

Would be cool

This isn't a banned user system! Think about this. If you have EVER sent out a mass mailing to your members, you have received some of them bounce back to you when an email has gone inactive. This simply lets you place that user in a another group preventing YOU from sending them any more emails. This will prevent the bounced emails from coming back to you again without removing the user. If they come back, they can update their email addy and all will be good again.

Sounds very handy.
I'll try it when I do my VB setup.
will go ahead and click install for you.
Thankyou.

Hi Nathan, Rich is actually correct, this isn't intended to be used to ban members. It's simply to prevent you as admin from receiving a ton of bounces on future mass mailings from within Admincp by NOT sending to whatever usergroup you specifyin step 4.

I get 2-3 bounced e-mails per DAY because of the outgoing birthday announcements, plus thread subscriptions for people who's e-mail addresses are no longer valid.

Imagine if I sent out an announcement to all 2,000 members. I'd probably get 1,200 bounces. Thanks Antivirus for writing this add-on! Now we just go to the bottom of each bounced e-mail, click one link, and bingo, that user is put on hiatus!

i know, i sent out a newsletter myself yesterday and got like 500+ bounces started searching vbcom for a soultion and came across your thread, so i made it

I have a few cool ideas for the next version, but not sure when i'm going to be able to code them. Hopefully soon.

I had 36,000 bounced emails last month Does this work on all emails sent from vb? Like thread descriptions?

if you mean thread subscriptions, yes. The only thing is it doesn't handle em automatically, you (if you have admin) you simply check your inbox where the bounces are being received, then you click on the link in the bounced email. Then you see a confirmation message in your adminCP that the user was moved to whatever usergroup you specified in step 4 above.

Then next time you send out an email, (so long as you remember to NOT send it to the usergroup specified in step 4) that email won't bounce again because it's no longer being sent.
