Mod Name / Version: Cancel Mail 1.0

Description: The modification provides a simple way for an administrator to turn off the mailings to a specific user. Typically this is done after receiving bounced messages.

This change adds a new selection to the user modification options available to an administrator. Once a user has been selected from the admin show/edit users page, a list of options is displayed. That list includes functions such as editing the user's profile and banning the user. The new option ("Cancel mailings") clears all the selected user's subscriptions and the "email replies" and other e-mail flags.

After clearing the flags, a private message is sent to the user informing him/her of the action.

Thank you!

Very cool! I was looking for something like that for a long time.
Now i only need to write a script that filters all mails and cancels the mails automatically.

I was thinking that might be a good idea for version 2. Actually, after using the script a short time, most of the email bounces have been reduced to only a few. I'm at a point where it might not be a good investment of time. Of course, our site has only about 4000 users. Still, it would make the modification a more complete solution.

I installed it on my board, works great.
I think you forgot the closing brace of the if statement in your instructions.

If you plan a update of this mod, i'd love to a multilanguage version. Grab the users language and send the mail in that language.

Another small glitch:

$To = $Uid;

should be:

$To = $User;


So that the PM gets send properly.

Thanks for the corrections.

Attached is an updated version.

I have no plans on any future modifications.

How would one go about getting this to work with 6.3.x?

I ported it to 6.3.
Bud, should I send you the updated files?

Nice we could use this for 6.4 if you can find the time to port. Very handly tool for admins thanks
