[bd] Mails 1.1.0

[xfrocks]

Is there any way to show a list of users with invalid emails?

With XenForo 1.3, you can do a search for user with Bounced Email state.

I have many people who register with their Facebook account, and there email under Facebook is dead long time ago (they probably don't know that). Since I send an automatic PM to all registered users once they register, it sends them an email as well. The problem is that it puts these people to the bounced group right away - but the entire point of Facebook Connect is to make the registration process much easier. Is there a way around it?
Thanks.

I see no other way around it. You have an idea?

I would say skip 1st email for any user who register through Facebook? but then it wouldn't be that fair for other boards (or maybe include this as option on/off in ACP).

What did you mean by "first mail"? User coming from Facebook doesn't have to verify his/her email so by default, they won't receive any email right after registration. Unless you have some kind of add-on that send welcome messages?

Yes, the add-on sends a PM once registered. And by default, every PM is triggering an email by the system. So I guess the bypass should be aimed to the developer of the Welcome PM add-on?

Just installed this and set it up with Mandrill, we'll see how we go

OK, I managed to go around it. Now every email that is sent, it's sent from xenforo@domain.com and the name of the sender is "xenforo", while in:
/admin.php?options/list/emailOptions#_defaultEmailAddress

I have different settings (different name and different display email).
I'm using Mandril. How can I change the name and the address of the sender?

I also noticed that this phrase doesn't really working:

We cannot deliver emails to your address ({email}), the reason given by your provider is "{reason}". Please update your contact details with a deliverable address to keep updated with information from {boardTitle}.

When a user is bounced, it takes the phrase from XF Core's phrases for bounced email. So instead of using
bdmails_your_email_bounced_reason_x
it uses:
attempts_to_email_x_have_failed_please_update

Thanks

One problem I've got so far is that as soon as I installed this, my forum's emails have question marks after every word in their title. Everything inside the email body (including the topic title for example) is fine, but the email title has one question mark after each word.

I'm wondering if it's because my forum is in greek and I need to do something around that?

I have this as well with Hebrew characters

Does it take a while to send out all the emails?

I have been having major email issues...so I just switched to this and Mandrill. xF says that it successfully sent out 5,702 emails...but the activity report in Mandrill only says 628?

It will be send but not all as instant.

Now it's up to 676...but that is all in over 1.5 hours? Seems that something must be wrong?

Strange, have never experience that. Maybe start a conversation with me?

it uses:

That phrase is used in XenForo 1.2 or older.

You can change the default sending address in XenForo Email options page to change it. Make sure to use an address with the configured domain or the xenforo@domain.com address will be used.

Yeah, you can test it by creating a fake account with bounced address. It should be put into bounced state within a day.
