Hi all, if this app places members into a validating status, will their account be deleted if they don't validate? I have the "remove unvalidated accounts" setting at 15 days. This was to delete folks that register but never confirm -- I worry it may nix valid accounts that have old emails and are flagged by this tool. Is there an issue?
No it doesn't. Invision Community only deletes accounts that are validating on registration.

Yes, I understand that. Your application is amazing but I've given up using SendGrid etc due to mail delivery issues.
Either way, would you be able to code a simple app that would put users to validation going by a list of email addresses?
They are mostly 550 errors therefore quite permanent.
Thanks.
On 6/5/2018 at 1:31 AM, Mopar1973Man said:This is where I came from. I got sick and tired of fighting with Hotmail and Gmail over 550 error mostly stating that no longer going to send email to any account permanently. Now with the error codes present you need to clean up your email problem and contact the email provider and go there hoops and loops to resolve your 550 error code. Sorry to say after two times around I lost my first IP address to Hotmail permanently this stopped me from sending email completely for a time.
Now when I got fired up with @stoo2000 Mail Bouncer I was set up still on SparkPost which was easy to setup and worked instantly. The first pass I wiped out a ton load of email accounts. Now after the 4.3.x update we got forced to move to SendGrdi which was more of a PITA to handle and setup IMHO. Now once its set up I'm still sending newsletters out monthly to capture that rogue email addresses that are floating on the website.
No longer have to filter out user into groups to ditch the older accounts and prevent sending email to the dead account.
Still, in all your 550 codes have to be fixed first. Then you can get to use the Mail Bouncer. Again I doubt Mail Bouncer will work with a standard email server because of the lack of API connection.
The whole automated approach is the aim of the app, you shouldn't have to worry about it or have to interact with anything. I could add a button to user profiles to force an email change though.

Yes, it still works as normal.

Hi, considering your app can put a Validating flag on users (which stock IPS can't do now-days), would it be possible to use it manually rather than integrated with SendGrid etc?
What I mean is that I've recently sent out a newsletter to my users and about 1000 email addresses no longer seem to be valid (a whopping 18% of all email addresses!).
Naturally, I'd like to put these users back to Validation - would you application be able to do it going by a list? Or would you be able to code something like that for me?
Or can it integrate with cPanel email log perhaps? ?
Many thanks.On 6/3/2018 at 4:14 PM, Mopar1973Man said:I'm actually doing that for exact reason. I had many older account long gone. Then have an old post being revived and now emailing these account with bounced emails or marked as spam because they are no longer part of the website. So instead of hunting down the emails I send out as newsletter once a month and let the Mail Bouncer filter out the email. Now I've got a clean email database and no longer have to worry about spam or bounce issues.
I don't think this plugin can work on its own because of the lack of information from the normal email server and no API connection.
On 6/3/2018 at 9:54 PM, cybernck said:I don't need it to work in a closed loop, I just need it to put users into validation, going by a simple list of expired email address :).
On 6/4/2018 at 12:31 AM, Mopar1973Man said:That's all I'm doing exactly. The newsletter is the trigger to send email to the entire email list. Now if it bounces or marked as spam then the account is set to Validation.
@Mopar1973Man has got the correct solution here, this app works best when it's constantly processing based on real-time feedback from the email gateways. Actions are taken depending on what that feedback is, whether it's a warning, requiring a new email address to be set or a message regarding flagging emails as spam (with education instructions to point the user in the right direction to unsubscribe). Additionally, not all failures you may see are critical enough to instantly stop sending emails out, there can be temporary issues that work themselves out.

I've ran into an email where a member clicked spam and the account did not update. What do you need for information to handle bugs?
I will need you to open a support ticket, since I may need to gain access to your email platform.
10 minutes ago, knightsystems said:HI @stoo2000
is it safe to upgrade to 4.3 with Mail Bouncer 3.1.3 installed? (is it compatible?)
There are no known issues with using the current version with 4.3. As always, if you have any issues please open a support ticket and I'll look into them.
Support
If you require any support for this product please create a Technical Support ticket in the Client Area. You will need to register an account if you do not already have one. You must supply your IPS Community email address. -

Would it be possible to add support for smtp.com ?
You may be better to contact me privately about doing this as a custom addon, I haven't had any demand for it. It doesn't really make sense to implement for one user, sorry.
On 4/2/2018 at 11:40 PM, sobrenome said:Will it support SparkPost on 4.3?
Yep, it should do. It'll automatically detect if your SMTP settings are configured for SparkPost (I will test before 4.3 is released and push an update if I need to).
5 hours ago, CheersnGears said:Is there anything I need do when switching from Sparkpost to SendGrid?
Nope, it'll automatically detect the change and set up the SendGrid API.

What happens if you uninstall this app? Do the users that are still validating stay in that group? Do all the messages disappear? IPS is moving away from sparkpost native support and that leaves only sendgrid and mandrill is mailchimp or something. Can you continue using sparkpost if it will be removed as an option?
Validating users will still have the flag assigned to them, but it'll be removed when they change their email address. SparkPost should still be supported (in this app), since you can still use their SMTP method to send emails. Personally, I would recommend SendGrid at this time.

It looks like your invoice expired long ago, You will need to submit a ticket to IPS and ask them to regenerate your renewal invoice.

Is there a way for the moderator/administrator to delete feedback? I cannot seem to find a way.
steve k,
There certainly is, you can set this up via AdminCP > Members > Moderators > *edit* (or add new) > 'Feedback' tab

So, is there a way to remove from Warned list? I do not see "Unblock" button on that page for any of the users.
Thanks!
Not at this time, as noted above I will be implementing some new logic to automatically remove the message if the bounces stop before they're at a 'hard block' level.
On 20/11/2017 at 11:55 PM, cybernck said:What's the latest on Amazon SES?
P.S. None of the links on the file download page work (and indeed the first post here).
The links have been updated, sorry. Amazon SES should still be coming at some point in the future. It requires a more complex set up than the existing platforms (need to set up and configure SQS etc).
On 28/11/2017 at 1:17 PM, AlexWebsites said:I would also be interested in knowing the latest with Amazon SES.
I am having an issue where this message will not turn off even after updating the email address and clicking the email link. The user also does not show up on the lists when I search within mailbouncer.
Emails that we send to you are being returned to us. If our emails continue to bounce, we will stop sending emails to you and require you to update your email address.
Please submit a ticket if you're having an issue. https://ipb.silvesterwebdesigns.com/support

Hi, love the application! Do you think you can have it so users can simply type in the topic ID or topic url? This would be amazing as people are struggling with topic name, especially on large forums.
8 minutes ago, Emediate said:Couldn't agree more. We had so many members complaining that typing the topic just doesn't work, we had to set it to not required.
Some people just don't get typing the topic out, while others just don't get copy/pasting the URL. The ability for the system to do both simultaneously would be a great idea.
I hear you, I'll look at ways of making it more obvious. It's a requirement of how the application integrates with any content type (it can work with items that aren't topics for example).
On 19/11/2017 at 1:01 PM, Maxtor said:@stoo2000 how can i add this
to my custom theme back again. its gone . which files to check?
Check your profile templates for modifications, it's likely that they're out of date and need updating for 4.2

That assumes they want to come back and update. I may not want to fully block, but instead want to just restrict from certain areas. Doing so leaves them the ability to PM an admin if they're having e-mail troubles (yahoo and aol frequently block). If they marked an email as spam, that should move them into a different group entirely.
It also gives me the ability to do cleanup. If they bounce and get moved into that group, I can do a filter to see if they have any content items. If their content count is zero and the account is over a year old, then I would just delete the account entirely. I send birthday and holiday emails not because I'm particularly jolly, but because I want to see if the email addresses are valid. Having bounced users moved into a group helps me keep the user database tidy.
Validating users are permitted to use the contact form, which would be a way of contact.
"Spam" markers are already treated differently. They're educated that they can select which emails they receive and have the option to opt-in to emails once more. Should a second spam report arise, they have emails blocked and no further option to opt-in.
I would like to implement some extra options on to the member search, the data you're really wanting to sort/search on is already there (it's used in the bulk email filters already). Unfortunately at this time, it's not particularly easy to implement into that area. I have put a suggestion forwards to implement the MemberFilter system into the AdminCP member search/management tools. If it's included at any point I will move to support that.

On that roadmap can you put a spot to move users into a different user group? That would be extremely helpful.
Could you explain how/why this would be useful? bear in mind that the working intention is that the user is presented with an email change screen if they're fully blocked and cannot access the community until they change their email address.

does anyone know how to recreate the webhook in sparkpost?
This was resolved via ticket and last weeks application update.
16 hours ago, misfit76 said:Is there a way to clear people from "Warned" list?
I see a lot of people listed, but the ones i look at do not have problems receiving emails.
Also, is there a way to clear multiple users at a time from the Disabled and Flagged sections?
Thanks,
Steve K.
I have a improvement on the roadmap for the near future to improve the handling of warnings, and to automatically remove them in a timely manner if no more bounces occur.
Unblocking users can cause damage to your sending reputation at the email service, doing this in bulk is certainly not advisable.

We have feedback in a topic going back a few years, I wondered if I could add that feedback into the system myself but as the other member giving it (and not myself) without having to log in as each member to do it (not an option)
It could be done with a custom script, but I'm not sure how you would determine if it was positive, negative or neutral feedback.

We noticed one or more of your webhook endpoints is unreachable or experiencing other repeated failures. As a result, we have suspended transmission of these webhooks.
If you would like to continue to recieve webhooks batches, please ensure your target endpoint responds with a 200 HTTP status code. Once you've verified your target endpoint will receive batches, you can re-enable each webhook via the APIor in Webhooks settings in the SparkPost UI.

The only thing that remains to be worked is feedback showing in the club forums (even if i don't want to) below user's avatar. I've deleted the html template in the meanwhile as a workaround.
This is fixed in the next release, I'm also going to switch the logic around so that you select where you want it to show, rather than where you want to hide it.
And, by the way. A notification is already built in, it's sent when someone leaves you feedback. I'm going to add another one though for when someone you follow is left feedback.

I just wanted to give a general update about what's coming next (in the next week or so - possibly on the same day or at the same time).
- There's going to be a new version for IPS 4.1.19.4 that includes SendGrid support (I'm testing the implementation at the moment).
- There's going to be a follow up release that purely addresses 4.2 compatibility (including SendGrid support).
Both of these versions will also include some other changes, such as being able to tell you if there is an issue connecting to the remote APIs. Compatibility with FCGI/Nginx environments where the Authorization header isn't passed to PHP is improved.
The current version of Mail Bouncer will not work with Bulk Mail on the 4.2 Betas.
This update is now available in the Market Place, I was able to combine them into a single version.

Thks! do you have plans for integrating with the notification system any soon?
Yes.
A customer requested a 'private' feedback ability, so that the creator of a topic for example could define whether feedback regarding that content item (topic) would be private or public. I've had a change of opinion and don't think that it'll be a widely used feature. Would you use something like this? (I mean, would you actually use it rather than like it to be included and then never use it).

@stoo2000 is there a way to get this from Pages?
I mean, can i create a button there on a record template to call something from Feedback to pre-fulfill some data. I have all the data there i need... the logged member_id and the $record->author stuff so it could be very possible if i knew what should i call from Feedback app side to create a new feedback.
Thank you
Yes, you should be able to pass type ( 0 = buyer, 1 = seller, 2 = trade/swap ) and content_id in the query string now.

It sounds like you may be just typing a title in rather than selecting a result in the autocomplete. If there are any matching results, it'll suggest possible matches and you need to click on one to select.
