Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
wegorz23 Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Hi i was trying to disable newsletter and other notifications sending to our users to e-mails. Years ago and by small error some of users have in e-mail field some random numbers and other stuff. This is preventing us to efficiently send a nesletters and notifications causes mass of errors and once in a while causes blocking our smtp sender e-mail. (By provider) Thats why we want to disable e-mail notifiactons on that realy simple script to update records on database should do they thing. We also have list of that records but cannot find where this setting is write on database. eg. ID member and settings that newsletter is turned on or turned off. (Have list of emails that didn't exist and that broken too.) Can someone direct us to a solution on that, or simply say wher we should search for that ? (sending 80 000 e-mails as newsletter of which comes only 30% of that) Like that : Greetings Edited November 10, 2021 by wegorz23
Marc Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 How it is you have ended up with emails like that on the system there, as they dont actually appear to be valid email addresses? There is no way in which you would be able to update en-masse only certain members. You can only really disable it for everyone by making it no by default, then clicking to reset all members to default preferences

Most of that is facebook login / registration and very old. These are rly simple to remove and its google bot. But facebook users is there as well. Like always solution is weak.

Our forum is working continuously since 2003 year and on first version of that we didnt validate e-mails and other stuff. It is not possible to reset the settings for everyone now. Anyone can help ?

Marc Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 I've actually just created a ticket for you, as if these are being created with internal login handlers, its likely they need to be looked into, as all accounts should at least have a valid formatted email address.

But register / login by facebook is not of our authorship. And other problem that facebook users dont neet to confirm his account by e-mail link confirmation. Application settings say that everything from facebook like e-mail nick and other stuff is valid.

In all honesty Im not sure what you are referring to on this one. I have created a ticket because of the reasons you stated there
wegorz23 Posted November 12, 2021 Author Posted November 12, 2021 Simply way to fix is to move all that invalid e-mail users to alternative group and then dont send them notifications and newsletter.
