Surely the system should mark it as a hard bounce as that status should take priority over not confirmed? A hard bounced email is not going to suddenly start working so the user should be told that they need to change to a working email address.

You could move the forum email to something like Amazon SES, which once set up has excellent delivery rates and times, it will cost but it's only $0.10 / 1000 emails.

+1 for Amazon SES

Doh.... :)

Thanks to both of you, now setup the bounce system on my forum, I think I have it set up right, time will tell.

thanks for that, my bounce mailbox will be a gmail one as well so I will set that up from the start. Not that I am getting any bounces as I said my transactional mails are a very clean list. Out of interest what settings do you use on for bounces with xenforo I see the default is 3 which seems...

That is annoying, currently I am getting all delivered email events sent to me via SNS, looking at the headers I am not getting anywhere near the 14/sec limit so that is good. Next step is to get Sendy set up and clean up my newsletter list...

Is it possible with this add on to automatically send out a newsletter of new threads posted and/or topics with new posts? Some of my forum users miss the daily digest that vB had and this could be a way around that. From the screen shots you seem to be able to choose on likes, replies and...

Out of interest just read this in the sending limits documentation. They don't define brief of course but even if it was only a few seconds that could allow a few hundred emails to be processed, and that should be easily enough for me even on my longest threads.

I'd be interested in that as well, I have set up a SNS for bounce etc, as for some unknown reason my normal bounce emails were disappearing even though test ones came fine. It seems that you could just collect all the bounce emails in a google mail box and setup xenforo to use that. So is the...

It seems to have gone smoothly apart from my copy and pasting a username rather than the amazon smtp server into the email settings... Email is going out nicely thanks everyone.

Thanks @Mouth and @Anthony Parsons , it did seem odd that they dropped them but that was what I had read on various threads... Amazon upped my limit to 50k a day (I only asked for 30k) which gives the same 14 emails/second that you have had no trouble with. I have set DKIM up so it's all...

Thanks, I'll get out the sandbox and then change over when the forum isn't busy. I'm probably making too much of it. EDIT: requested a new limit so hopefully I can change over at some time this weekend.

Thanks @fly The bounce list is only in relation to my eshot emails that I send via a different email server for which bounces don't matter (not with Sendy but I will look at that) and can continue to do however I do want to clean it, I have long lists of bounce emails in a mixed email account...

Hi all, Looking to move my Xenforo transnational email from the local host to SES. Reading on here, I need to apply for a message limit to remove me from sandbox mode, this will then give me a peak number of messages per day and per month, but it also has a peak rate limitation as well, and if...
