Update user account from bounced emails

[Mouth]

Situation: There is currently no method for XF to take action on user accounts when email addresses are bouncing. Requesting an add-on to handle this.

Scenario/Summary:
1. Add phrase to header of outgoing emails sent from XF, with user id identifier
2. Check bounces email address (from /admin.php?options/list/emailOptions)
3. Check for phrase from header in #1 in bounced email, and take action on user account

Add-On Requirements/Details:
1. All emails sent from XF to contain a mail header with recipient user ID (eg. "X-XenForo-Recipient-UserID=xxxx")
2. Add to /admin.php?options/list/emailOptions to enter username/password and server address for the bounces email address
3. Cron task to POP/IMAP the bounces email account, and check/read unread emails
4. If unread email is a permanent bounce notifier contains X-XenForo-Recipient-UserID, execute a database query to update user record and set user state to 'Awaiting email confirmation (from edit)'. Mark email as read (or just delete it)

Hi

I got a quote from someone for this. He wants to have around 600 Euro for this. Is this a realistic price? I wanted him to mkae something simlar to EZ bounce Management:

At vbulletin.org there is also an addon for this I used in the past called
EZ Bounce Management
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=138884&highlight=EZ Bounce Management

If this price would be o.k., would someone be willing to share the costs so that it comes down to 30 per head?

We already use a similar modification. Will ask if it is complicated to prepare it as an add-on to be released here.

FYI:
The header id tag is not necessary because XF allows a single user account per email address only. So you can determine the user account just from the e-mail address only.

HWS, any update on this? What was the response to your asking?
Thanks

I am interested in this too. I sent HWS a PM so that this thread here is not overseen...

update:

5 days later, but unfortunatley I still did not get an answer from HWS to my PM or here in this thread. So since February 14th no reaction. Seems unlikely that we will be successful..

Interested in this.

Yeah, this should ideally be built in to xenforo because you don't want thread update email messages bouncing repeatedly. Bad for your IP address.

Looks good, but waiting until it comes out of beta and the threat of deleting email.
I'd also need it to change bounced users into the user state of 'Awaiting email confirmation (from edit)' until I believe it would be useful.
