XF 1.5 Automated bounced email setup issue

[tommydamic68]

So I tried to set up automated bounced email system and it appears to not be working, any input would be appreciated. here is what I have in my settings and on my email account on the server. I tried a test bounce email and it did not work.

Something I just noticed, now it seems all mails sent from the site (server) are from the bounced email address, is that correct?

The "envelope sender" and the "from sender" are different things. But yes, that's expected.

I just wanted to let others know what was causing my setup to not work and thus took me several hours to Trouble Shoot.

I had overlooked this radio-button and left if defaulted to None...

​

But as soon as I revised it to SSL, things started functioning just as they should...

I didn't want to make a new thread for this but I got mine setup right...

I have a forum with 40k users that I have had since 2002 , of course when I set this up and sent a newsletter (crappy way to test I know) and got 10k hard bounces about 1k soft bounces and maybe 100 of these delays....

My question, will the soft bounces keep trying and if unsuccessful make them hard bounces automagically? And what will the Delays do.

Thanks
