Got this mod working. As I look it over, I notice that the "From" is showing my server SMTP domain. What need is to have the from domain be the same address as the mailed-by domain.
Thank you :)

I have been trying to get this going also. I am willing to spend quite a bit of time on it and have been looking through a listing of the cron job.

There seem to be a number of places where the incoming email format does not get handled properly and eventually you get around to processing a message that generates a fatal error. 1093 is one of the error lines. That particular one seems to be eliminated by commenting it out, but it looks like one needs to know the vBulletin function library pretty well to be able to effectively read the code.

Is there anyone participating here who is a programmer of this material? It is very new to me, although I have about 30 years experience as a programmer in other environments.

Debugging something running on a server with a live message board is kind of painful.

I am running 3.7.3 pl1 and the latest version of the mod posted here.

I set up my server mailbox as a pop3 source for my personal mail that I can turn on or off. That lets me pull the pathological emails out of the box and continue testing. If you leave them in, the scheduled task will continue to process everything with a datetime later than the broken email and the cron job will generate its fatal error on every pass.

I think it might be better to disable the scheduled running of the routine and just run it manually when you want to work on it. That way you can put output statements in the code and see them in the AdminCP as the routine runs.

I had the problem mentioned above and after doing the suggested mods in the other thread I now have it working. Start with post #843 on this page https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...151222&page=57

NOTE: This URL points to the other thread for this mod in the vB 3.6 forum.

We're running vB 3.7.1 and we use Email Integration with plain text email. I seem to remember seeing at least one further code tweak that is required if you are running vB later than 3.7.1

I'm going nuts trying to figure this out. I keep getting this error:

I've tried the IMAP and POP3 changes...anyone know what is causing this?

I have some suggestions for if/when this things gets back going.

I would like to use this more as a submission deal, where specified contacts who normally wouldn't participate on the forum can send correspondence to a particular email, and it will be posted into a private forum for staff to read.

It can be done now, except I would need to create a user account with each one of their emails so that it doesn't get bounced. And folks working at or for companies may have several different email addresses they use to communicate.

I have no desire to use the subscription or mass emailing system. Just incoming, once, gets posted, staff looks at it on site. Replies to that thread would never be emailed back to anyone. And I guess, the response emails posting replies and not new threads - that could be removed here too. As could the usergroup check.

To prevent spam if the email address got out, I would suggest creating a universal whitelist on the backend, so that we can add addresses at will, similar to how it checks against user accounts. But it checks that one list. We can scan the actual mailbox every so often, and if we see an email from an alternate address, or new person, that we want to continue getting alerts from, we add it.

Would also like a way to leave emails on server, possibly move to a predefined folder in the mail account like "Read" or "Posted".

Not sure if that is too far out of specs for this, but if those options could be added, like "use for correspondence OR use for mailing list" and then fill in options for whatever you choose, that would be cool.

Up side, could also add in RSS feeds from news sources and update blogs from people/companies you want to watch, and put that in the same forum. So you have one place to check on your own site for stuff that needs to be addressed.

I would donate significantly if this could be achieved. Just PM me for further specs if desired.

Good work either way, thanks for the mod, later!

hello. Can I import from my current list which is in CSV?

Hi


1. Is it possible to use this plugin only one-way? I.e. only to send e-mails with all postings of the board out, but without the option to reply by mail?


2. Is this step above a "have to"? Is it possible with the scenario #1 to skip this? I want my users to get all postings, no matter which subforum, but they shall not reply by e-mail.



Thanks in advance

any chance this moving up to version 3.8?

I just installed it on vb 3.8 RC2. "Seems" to be ok but I have several problems (reply by email which never arrives on the forum, part of the email reply box which appears, etc), but I have to check more in depth before asking for help (perhaps I miss something)

I'll go ahead and ask this - to see if anyone has by chance done it, before digging into this hack...

I want my users to be able to MMS/email pictures to a specific thread in the forum. This hack seems to be close. I only need the mailbox checking part and then to direct it to a specific thread of my choosing. I'm fine with the pictures being posted anonymously. Usernames would be awesome, but with MMS seems like it would be hard to implement.

I seriously doubt anyone else wants this or has done it, but it doesn't hurt to ask...
