EZ Bounced Email Management for Admins
![]() Developer Last Online: Aug 2014 ![]() ![]() ![]()
DESCRIPTION:
This mod will insert a special EZbounce link into the header of all emails sent from your forums. In the event any email bounces back to you, you simply click the EZbounce link and the Ezbounce script launches, which will modify the bouncing members settings to prevent further bouncing emails. It will also send that member a PM asking them to update their email address. This modification is known to work with versions as high as 3.8.x FEATURES:
Now, the next time you send a newsletter from your AdminCP, (so long as you only send emails to members whom have "Receive Email From Administrators" set to "Yes") you will no longer receive a bounced email from this member (because they are no longer being sent). And also, if you created a new usergroup such as "Bounced Members" and set this usergroupid in this hack's settings, now the members that have bounced can be pruned, sent reminder emails, whateveryou want to do with them! WHAT IF A MEMBER DECIDED TO CLICK ON THE LINK IN THE EMAIL HEADER? Most email clients don't show the email's headers by default, however in the event a member is slick enough to view their header and they click on this mysterious link, they will simply receive a no permission message since they're unallowed to log in to the AdminCP. ZIP FILE CONTENTS: 1 Product (2 plugins, a couple phrases & installcode which adds 1 colum to user table) 1 File HOW TO VIEW FULL EMAIL HEADERS: You might need to configure your email client to view full email headers in order to see the EzBounce link. There's detailed instructions on how to do this for the most popular email clients here. CHANGELOG: #> 1.11 - released on 7/6/2008: Fixed bug reported in post #583 #> 1.10 - released on 12/18/2007: Added when bouncing member is managed for bouncing, their "Pop Up a Notification Box When New PM Is Received" setting is turned on before the notification PM is sent, to better ensure they are notified to update their email address. Bought the new CD entitled Sleaze Freak by Scum Of The Earth on Amazon.com #> 1.9 - released on 9/22/2007: Added when bouncing member is managed for bouncing, their "Pop Up a Notification Box When New PM Is Received" setting is turned on before the notification PM is sent, to better ensure they are notified to update their email address.

Optimized some queries in ezbounce.php and plugin codes. #> 1.8 - released on 6/1/2007: Bug fix - fixed array_merge error for those running php 5. #> 1.7 - released on 5/8/2007: Bug fix - fixed bug where old usergroup was incorrectly being restored. #> 1.6 - released on 4/26/2007: Added protective measure for Admins, Supermods, or Mods who's email may have bounced. this makes sure their usergroup and settings are not modified even if their email bounces.

Fixed bug - Usergroup is now properly reset to what it was before member was managed for bouncing #> 1.3 - released on 2/15/2007: New setting in AdminCP which gives option to move bouncing members into any usergroup of Admin's choice If member had previously bounced, and they update their email, they are moved back to their original usergroup #> 1.2 - released on 2/10/2007: Bouncing members are now handled by setting their preference to receive admin emails to "no" Sends PM to member notifying them email bounced If / when member updates his/her email their preference to receive admin emails is reset to "yes" #> 1.0 - released on 2/8/2007 Original release If you like this hack, please click Nominate for MOTM Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

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

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 ![]() No members have liked this post.

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.

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! No members have liked this post.

![]() 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.

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. ![]()
