XF 2.1 Remove all accounts with invalid emails at once

[USY]

Hi there,

i am looking to remove all accounts which has invalid accounts.

If I sent mail to my members I get lot responses from the mail server like:

Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

jumbo@gmail.com
host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[108.177.15.27]
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<jumbo@gmail.com>:
550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try
550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or
550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces. Learn more at
550 5.1.1 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=NoSuchUser l7si5800810wml.66 - gsmtp

How can I remove such accounts with one click?

Do you have bounced email handling set up?

Accounts with bounced email will be put into a user state of "Email invalid (bounced)" - the system won't try and send them more emails until their account is fixed - it's designed for exactly the situation you are in.

If you instead want to try and identify problematic emails before you send to them, you'll need to use a 3rd party service which costs money. SparkPost can do this, Debounce is another service which is cheaper - see this thread: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/email-address-check.177481/

No, I've never used it - I don't think there is an addon for it yet.

I have about 20 members in this sitaution
They are still posting and pm ing.
But I cannot contact them as their email server is not accepting email from me
They are mostly Yahoo emails

So I am changing their Title to "Please provide an alternative email adress"
I have two other tactics
Put them in post moderation and they may contact me
Ban them and give a reason such as "Your email adress is invalid"

I am going to work though them over the next few weeks

You can just set their "USER STATE" field to "Email Invalid (bounced)". This will take away their ability to post, and prompts for a new/valid email address, on their next visit. It then will verify the new one, and reinstate their access.
