Apfelstrudel Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hello, unfortunately IPS doesn't have a feature to disable an account when its email address is invalid (possibility to switch back to "validating"). We have around 100k members. So we do get bump backs daily. We would need a feature to disable an account to force the people keeping their emails up-to-date. Otherwise every forum owner could get black listed. Please bring that kind of feature. It's a must have (from my point of view). And no, I don't want to use an external service like Mandrill. It could be so easy. Just having the possibility to set an account back to "validating". All email features of this account would be deactivated.

abetts Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I use Mandrill for all transactional emails and this marketplace item works perfectly to solve your problem... Why don't you want to use Mandrill? Cost? I sent about between 1-2k emails/day and it's not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apfelstrudel Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 From my point of view it should be a standard ipb feature to disable accounts temporarely. I come from vb and there it was no problem to set a user to validating again. So the user had to enter a valid email. This topic is just a "want to have" for the future. And of course I don't want to send data to an external provider. This is not compliant with european privacy rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Perry Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 A bounce feature that puts the user account in a state requiring email change/confirmation would be nice. Never used vB, but XenForo recently (a few versions ago) got this feature after it being requested by many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilihead Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 One trick you can do is in your login handler change to email login only. This serves as a visual reminder, since you login with email, you are more likely to keep it up to date. Does not solve your issue but perhaps can help.
