MyBB Community Forums

Hello, my hoster contacted me that mybb is still sending emails and they want me to block it somehow. Here's example of report, there's already over 2000 emails that way:

  Envelope Sender: [email protected]
  Envelope Recipient: [email protected] (To Be Delivered)

Any idea how to stop it?

Thank you for help.

There's no way that I know of to stop it from the settings.

EDIT: Maybe change the E-Mail settings to values that wouldn't work? It might cause an error though.

Wait, so your forum is sending emails to your host??

My forum is sending emails to people but it's not delivered and it comes back to my host.

Any reasonable host wouldn't ask you to stop a script from sending emails (I know mine wouldn't dare!)... I don't quite know why, but why aren't you receiving the mailer daemons from the returned mail? If a mail can't be delivered, you get a report back saying why it can't be delivered (for example, user mailbox is full, service down, user does not exist etc).

Plus, your host can simply setup a blackhole (which will eat up any mails sent back to you and deleted) or a catch-all email (which will catch any mails sent back to you for you to check up on).

Just talk to your host, they should come to some arrangement - if not I really suggest you swap.
