After learning that disabling an account does not work:
viewtopic.php?t=17764&highlight=disable
and being overwhelmed by a solution that might have worked but seemed too technical for my feeble mind:
viewtopic.php?t=5009
and trying another that seemed simple but didn't work for me:
viewtopic.php?p=45860#45860
I decided to mash-up some code and hack my own solution.
It seems to work, but I can imagine that there would be any number of reasons why it's a bad solution, and was curious to hear them... or if it's acceptable, to let others use it as well.
by-the-by, this seems to be a recurring request, so I'd ad my voice to those that would love a built-in solution to this in phplist. It'd make transition to phplist much easier for me!
Here is what I did:
1) put each email to blacklist on it's own line in a file called "blacklist.txt" and saved it into the root install directory of phplist
2) copied the code below into a file (i called it "massblacklist.php"), also in the root install directory of phplist
3) brought up massblacklist.php in a browser.
4) Check to see if it worked... that's it.
NOTE: for some reason, it seems to take a bit of time for the info to update in the phplist admin interface? shows up ok in phpmyadmin. not tested extensively, but I think it works.. here is the code:
- Code: Select all
<?php
//here is the file with the blacklist emails
$emailfile="blacklist.txt";
//here is a bunch of stuff from the index file
//I know you need some of it, but perhaps not all...
