Lack of interest Add a "Bounced Email Handler" test

[Kevin]

There are tests for sending outbound email so it might be nice to have an option to also test the Bounced Email Handler to see if XF is able to communicate with the mail server.

Is there a way to test this yet?

Nope. Setting up a new install and while testing the outgoing emails I remembered this.

Yes, sort of:

1. Create a user with an email address that will bounce and set account status to active
2. Login with that user and enable email notification for conversations
3. Start a new conversation with that user
4. Wait a few minutes while making sure that there is enough traffic so jobs do get executed
5. Manually execute the email bounce handler cron job
6. Check the email bounce log, it should have a log entry for the failed email by now

Slightly simpler version:

1. Create a user via the Admin UI with an email address that will bounce and set User state to Awaiting email confirmation
2. Go back into the newly created user profile in the admin UI and select "Resend account confirmation" from the Actions menu at the top
3. (optional) check the inbox where bounced emails are delivered to ensure the bounce is there
4. Manually execute the "Process email bounces" cron job
5. Check the email bounce log
