Cool :cool:

Thanks

Lierduh are you referring to post #297 of this thread? If so do i just upload the new gateway.php and this will stop the attachments or will stop the errors?

I am still having trouble with the new gateway.php script with file attachments.

How aware is the script about which type of attachment it is?

The forum has no file upload permissions. So I tested this by emailing the account which is used for gateway with a big file and it crashed (I suspect timeouts)

So i send it a very small file to test this theory, it was a small zip file only 36kB and instead of dropping the attachment as it should, it inserted it as text below the final characters of the message, see screenshot atatched.

Anything you need me to do for you to trap what is going on?

Sorry for late response, I was away for few days.
Here's what I got after adding those lines
"...pop3 gateway

Gateway version 2.1.0 1 group(s) gatewayed. =========USER Name: yamner\******==========+OK Microsoft Exchange 2000 POP3 server version 6.0.6249.0 (dl360mail3.yamner.com) ready. USER yamner\****** -ERR Protocol error. Bad User Name!Retrieving Protocol E-mails from the '209.178.209.17' pop3 server ..."

I had to hide a user name, but real log shows correct one. Also, as you can see, this time I used external IP for pop server - different isp than board is hosting on...

What is the maximum characters that we can put in the Killfile exclude field? I think I ran out already, is there a way to expand it?

Thanks again!

Whoooops.

When upgrading to 3.0.2, don't forget that the script will repost all of the threads already in your selected forum.

*starts composing apology emails*

It's limited to 128 characters (which is what the original scripts default settings are), and, like yourself I found it too small.

Run the following sql query and you can have up to 64000 characters (give or take!)

It's possible that in future upgrades of gateway.php the script may revert back to the original settings (as it auto-installs), so if there are any future gateway updates that you install you will have to run this query again after installing (and keep a copy of what's in the killfile beforehand as this may be erased).

And here's what one nice person told me:

*sighs*

Are you saying when you upgraded to 3.0.2 the gateway script sent all your posts to usenet from the usenet forums?

How can this happen?
You have to run gateway.php to upload new posts and it has the message id already set so duplicates shouldn't be uploaded. The only way I can see this happening is if the upgrade to 3.0.2 made all posts look as new posts or somehow the upgrade lost all id numbers in the db.

*nods*

That's what happened, because I ended up doing the upgrade by installing afresh and importing all of the posts etc using Impex..obviously losing the columns that denoted the threads as being 'old'.
