no bounce mail in PHPlist

Question

When I send emails by phplist, I never get any bounce email report in any of above email address. Any idea why?

$message_envelope = '[email protected]';

$bounce_mailbox_host = 'localhost';

$bounce_mailbox_user = '[email protected]';

$bounce_mailbox_password = 'MI5Topsecretpassword';

$bounce_mailbox_port = "110/pop3/notls";

If I use both email same in envelop and user, it starts getting error.

Everything is ok only if I get bounce emails in [email protected], which is not working at all.

Also, when I get a bounce, it shows in SES, but not in PHPlist. I am sure I am doing something wrong, but can't figure it out.

• PHPlist verion v3.0.6
• Using amazon SES
• phplist configured on hostgator

If you take down the bounce address to a phplist database do one thing. Change your program code in phplist config.php page like this:

$bounce_mailbox_host     = "mail.yourdomain.com"
$bounce_mailbox_username = "bounce"
$bounce_mailbox_password = "password"
$bounce_mailbox_port     = "993/pop3/notls" instead of "110/notls"

And add:

$manually_process_bounces = 1

Or else create a cron job for this.
