The problem is that the bounce plugin is not adding addresses that received an email error, it’s also adding emails from people that reply to the emails directly. So if I get 20 postmaster bounces and 1 person did a direct reply to the newsletter, then the bounce plugin will consider all 21 emails as bounces instead of just the 20 bounce emails.

If there was some way I could tell the plugin to look for specific keywords or something that would be better. For now I go in to the pop account via cpanel and delete any legitimate emails before running the plugin so I don’t remove them by accident.

Hey thanks, I ended up finding one and it works well. What you do is enter your pop settings for the reply to account for the newsletter and it will generate a list of all the emails in there and export it. The only thing you have to do is make sure you don’t have any valid emails in there or you will exclude valid users from your list.

There is a bounce plugin that works with your plugin? Can you link me to the right one?

Thanks!
Dan

Any idea guys why the bounces are not recording? I don’t want to launch another newsletter until this is working to avoid getting tagged as a spammer.

Thanks!

I’ve seen this before… was nothing more than an animated gif embedded in the newsletter.

Ah ok, for me everything for subscribing was pre-filled on install, but everything for unsubscribe was blank.

Thanks for responding, still trying to figure out why my cron job status is not functioning.

Dan

OK I figured this out, I just found where the unsubscribe information is and none of it is filled out by default. Works now, thank you! Now I have to figure out why the newsletters are not sending out even though cron job is fine.

My apologies, I just realized that the dynamics.js error is unrelated to the newsletter plugin and in fact an issue with something else on the site in general, so please ignore that part.

I took some screenshots this morning to show what is happening:

Here you can see the form loads fine:

It sends out the confirmation request email no problem:

My email is now confirmed after clicking the link in the email:

At this point, if I look in the newsletter admin at my subscriber list, I see my email and my status is confirmed. So now if I go back to the welcome email and click on unsubscribe, I get this:
https://s22.postimg.org/pg79ef1gh/news04.jpg

As you can see it’s blank, and if I go to the subscriber admin, I am still set as confirmed. If, however, I click on the “Click here” to change subscription options, it does load the correct page and if I click on unsubscribe fro there, I still get a blank message like the last screenshot, however in the admin, I see the email status is changed to unsubscribe.

I hope this helps explain what is happening a bit better. I should also note that in the newsletter admin dashboard where you configure all the subscription messages on the newsletter page, I don’t see anywhere that allows me to modify the unsubscribe verbiage.

Thanks!
Dan
