Also could you tell me how to enable cron or whateverscript to pull the emails from my server into this program. |
The cron is automatically enabled, it's ported with the product xml :)
Set your settings up in the forum manager, and then try running the cron from the scheduled tasks manually to be certain your connection type is correct. If it is, it'll say Done!, if it isn't you'll get one of the errors listed in the first post of FAQs :) Is that link coming up bad for a newthread, or a new reply? Or is it coming up bad for both for you? |
I am gettting this error

What about filtering out spam emails?
mail2forum has a method of using regex to setup rules that the inbound emails are checked against. my phpbb forum keeps out alot of extra spam that way. Is there something in this mod that does handle it as well? |
Spam emails would have to come from one of your users or be configured to match the email address of one of the users.
I've never used or messed with regex, so I'd have to do some reading on that to see how it works. |
Actually... wait, if I understand the description of regex correctly, I'm doing that already...
it's using preg_match and preg_replace, which I do. Exactly what does m2f do to match a user to an email? (don't have time to dig through all their code and decode it all to figure it out :) ) |
I am not sure I understand how the mod works, however the more I think about it; I am a little concerned about security.
Could someone just fake my email address and post as me? |
Not any way that I know how. At least not without having access to your outgoing mailserver and password.
Even for example, yahoo, when I set it up to look like I'm sending email from cyricx(at)mmogcommunities(dot)com when someone reads my emails, it'll show as coming from that address, and reply to will be to that address. While that email address is actually a forwarder that forwards email to my yahoo account. When I send an email to the site to be processed as a post, it sees my yahoo address. It ignores all the reply to and sending as junk. Goes straight to the guts :) |
