it most likely something in vb3.. but it takes me to long to check my emails now a days.. and I hate getting like 400 emails from the vb sites saying there is a new reply... it makes me wish I had my penuckel

I would use it ONLY for creating a BBS-based archive of a few email-lists I run. In other words, one-way only into a read-only BBS forum.

I'm looking forward to this functionality as a built-in feature of 3.x (hopefully) so I don't have to code my own and end up inadvertently tieing myself down to a particular version of VB.

Keep up the good work, all.

Very very cool idea. Hopefully will be standard in the vB3.

Let me see if I have this straight. :confused:


So now I get a email from everyone who replies to a thread that I am subscribed too instead of just one email telling me there may be more posts but I have to visit.

Example....today I participated in a thread and subscribed to it, an hour later I had three emails waiting for me from the people who posted to it without me every visiting the thread.

Hmmmmmm.....I sort of like the "just one" email, since now if a thread explodes my in- box will be flooded with mail from the thread.

Really?

Then is the message just processed next time a page is loaded?

Im curious how you get it happening if it doesnt use a daemon of some kind :)

merk: you can directly spool the result from sendmail/procmail/qmail etc.. to a php script when ever a email is received for a particular address or block of addresses :)

Whilst you do still have the mail daemon running you don't need any other daemons.

Or there's always cron :)

Ah, it makes sense now :)

Thanks

I always thought you could do something like that, but its a bit hard on a shared server :\

I just tried to reply via email and it didn't work in this forum!!

Anyway, I am still looking for a mod that enables me to send an email to a forum. When that email enters the forum it creates a new thread.

It didn't work for me, either. Do you *have* to include a post title? I didn't, I'm wondering if that's why it didn't work.

Can anyone confirm or deny that something like this hack is on the board for v3 or later? If nothing else as an option?
