XF 2.2 New user bounced email not changing status

[Tracy Perry]

Was doing some testing and set up a new user with an email I knew would bounce.
Amazon SES appropriately bounced the email, it got sent to the bounced email account I have set up and listed in the bounced log



But when checking on that user account, the User State is still in an awaiting email confirmation.


Is there a CRON that needs to run to change that status to Invalid email (bounced, or is it correct left in the awaiting confirmation status?

The user shows (when viewing as that user) that they still need to confirm the email.



The email address in the log is
Delivered-To: bounced+34e676c8+tikitwo1132=hotmail.com@astrowhat.com

This is something of a design flaw where XenForo can't record that a user awaiting email confirmation (of any type) has a bounced email.

XF really should record this to avoid a user being able to repeatedly spam the confirmation email to trigger email provider's sending those emails to spam.

Maybe this should be moved into a bug report?
It seems like if XF already has the user name, the email address they used and the fact that it bounced and that they are still in the awaiting email status that they could move it to the bounced status. It's probably not that big of a deal as I doubt that alerts would get sent to users still in a pending status... but there should be an ability to notify the user that their email address bounced (the same way it shows confirmation pending) and that they need to correct it. Would be a much friendlier workflow for the end user.
