Automated bounced email handler

Post by dimetrius »

Hello,

can you add "Automated bounced email handler"?

This feature is very necessary for large conferences, with which email messages are constantly sent to clients whose mailboxes are no longer available.
Or, when registering by the client, not valid addresses are indicated.

As example, you can see to XenForo.

That would require phpBB to be able to access a mailbox to begin with, which yet is not possible - only sendmail and SMTP. For what you want first POP or IMAP needs to be supported, then phpBB would have access to mailboxes and be able to read e-mails at all.

Keep in mind what BB in phpBB stands for - it's main purpose is not to be a mailing list.

Note that this idea is included in my proposal for improved handling of email notifications. idea/2526
The receiving of emails is not difficult to configure as an external service (e.g. nodejs) that listens on an IMAP mailbox and forwards any incoming emails in an http POST.
