Sad to say but seems this hack should find its way to the graveyard.:(

Although it would be nice to see it developed further, it does work on 3.7. I'm using it very effectively on a small forum with about 200 subscribers.

it's running on my test board for 3.8

Are you sure you did the file edit?

It's still in development, no eta of course, because I do have so much I'm doing. But it's not forgotten :)

I am running EI with 3.8.1.

I just left it installed when I upgraded to see what would happen. It seems to be working fine.

I did have a problem with html emails and disabled that feature some time ago.

This is a very important feature for a subset of our users who are too busy to open their browser and face the distractions of the message board. We use it in committee discussions where we need those people's inputs.

The problem with HTML emails is that you didn't redo the file edit in the instructions.

When you upgrade you have to redo any file edits as they new files you upload overwrite them.

I have just posted the code for the vB 3.6 version of EI Mod 2.6.1 BETA to delete the message from the mailbox if the first 100 characters are identical compared to the last post made by the user. This is a lifesaver when users go on holidays after setting up an autoreply which is not caught by the holiday/out-of-office rule in your EI mailbox.

The code works using the old message format, without delimiters, but it may be possible to adapt it to work with the new format, too.

I'm still running EI 2.3.1 and want to upgrade to 2.6.1. Where can I find the list of file edits that were made to redo them? I can't seem to find my downloaded version of 2.3.1 to now backtrack.

Hi Cyricx,

I have installed your plug-in. It sends notification mails and receives posts are all ok with my Internet e-mail account.
But when I use it to receive posts from an Microsoft Exchange e-mail account, it returns failure to me.
I tried all the mail server connection types in the dropdownlist, but still error.
Do you have any comments on the connection to an Microsoft Exchange e-mail account? Many thanks to you!

Here are my configuration place and the result of running my email task.

They are included in the zip.



If none of the drop downs are working, then most commonly this is an issue with the username, password and domain name. Find out from your provider what settings you need to enter to use outlook express, and you can mimic those. Sometimes it's mail.yourdomain.com sometimes its yourdomain.com
and the username is sometimes just yourname and other times it is yourname@yourdomain.com

It really varies greatly on the provider. There is a script included that you'll find linked in your admincp that tries some of the typical combinations and tries to help you determine the settings.

Hey Chris,

Is it possible to create a delay of 1-2 minutes before posts via the web based forum are sent out to email subscribers?

Thanks,
Kevin
