I have a problem and I am sure I am doing something wrong. I have many different mailing lists that go to my list email box. I have been trying to set up the script to take each list and put it into seperate forums. For example-

List A to Forum A
List B to Forum B etc etc

The problem is that no matter what I put in the settings in the newsgroup/mlist settings it still tells me that it sucessfully connected to the pop3 server and retrieved 0 messages. I also went in and looked are there over 60 messages in the inbox of that account.

Thanks again for the help,

Are you sure that your email client isn't set to delete the messages from the server once it downloads them?

good morning, lierduh.

sorry - that?s what I should have done with the last post already.

Directly after submitting a new thread to the forums I manually run gateway.php without clicking anywhere else and it says:

Quote:

Connecting to server, server says: 200 The server welcomes infong64.xxx.de (2xx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Authorization required for reading and posting. Server responded after user name: 381 PASS required Server responded after password: 281 Authentication accepted. (UID=238408) Info for

nothing more...that?s it.
If someones posting now a new answer to that post gateway.php works as it should, but is only sending the answer to the newsserver - not the starting post. so it?s a bit confusing for the newsgroup when answers appear but the starting post is missing..
And of course - the post shows up in my forums but gateway.php just doesn?t seem to recognize that.

If it?s not to impudent, lierduh, would you mind to have a look in my forums by yourself? In that case I would send you the logins for .htaccess and the forum via PM. (erm...and before you ask - the problem remains with and without .htaccess enabled ;) )
Guess it?s easier to make a troubleshooting when you?re on the deck and can see the script in action. Just a suggestion.

And by the way.. - I really appreciate the work you?ve done to this hack. Thanks for the given support - must be hard to handle all the little problems that endusers like me are coming up with..:nervous:

No, I was using the webmail and I just rechecked, they are still on there.

Thanks again!

how can i deactivate the attachment import from the script?

does it work, if i comment the following line??:
if ($message['attachments']) {
// process_attachments($date, $postid, $threadid);
}

This would be very helpful. At a minimum it would allow at least me to post to the group via the forum.

The way I would have this particular forum setup would be to first deny posting permission to all board members and then give permission only to those members who are already members of the email group I am mirroring. However, I would only do this if the messages look like they are coming from the sender and not from me. For this type of scenario I wouldn't care if my group members posted to the group using my email address as long as the individual posts showed up with their name in the From field.

For some reason, I set up about 15 groups for 15 different mailing lists but the program imports them into the wrong groups. For example out of the 15 it imported them all into just 2 of the groups.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks again for the help!

Are you using the same Pop3 mail box? The current version requires a separate email for each mailing list.

There is no clear solution to this. For the lists that need confirmed email address, the individual users need to subscribe to the list. Once they are subscribed, there is very little benefit for them to post through the forum instead of just shoot an email directly to the list. It will also look odd for the rest of the list members to see an "email" sent to the list is actually coming from a forum.

1)Open list, anyone can post to it, even someone is not subscribed. This is the best way to use this script.

2)Closed list. There isn't a good clear solution. Even if you offer your master email address as the posting email address with other user's forum user name. It will not be a good picture to be honest. It is kind of cheating, and unrespectful to the list owner, since the list is a close list. I really need to think again about how to handle this.:) One thing a forum ower does not want to have is to have the list members hating your forums. The same goes for newsgroups.

As you have found out. That is correct.:)
