Resolved this issue via email.

He had previous setup for usergroup 2 to have this forum as a subscribed forum. Then used the script to update everyones subscriptions. Then down the road decided to change what users were in control of that forum. Meanwhile all the people in usergroup 2 continued to get the emails as they had already had their subscriptions setup :)

In the next version I'll try to work up a solution for this. Maybe an admin clear all subscriptions for a forum or something like that.

Yes .. it works fine ... but the poster is mostly me (maybe its as iam always there;) )
but a few posts i did see where from another user with no relation to the post/borum or the posters emailadress.

i have a "inbox board" where all groups have post permissions.
i also set all primary groups in mail integration settings to allow.

cronlog -> attachment ..

it seems like the problem apears if someone uses Gmail ... OR google apps to post only ...
i just maded some testposts (almost 20) .. with diffrent users ...
no problem at all ! one gmail email ... and problems beginning ...
its also mail send trough gmail Webinterface only ...
not mails send trough gmail or gapps .. with another client

Same thing for me. If the emails are received in my outlook account at work, fine no problem, replying from there is fine too.

For some reason gmail doesn't parse the html in the emails and just dumps the html out on the page leaving the user to sort through the mess to find the content. Also, when I reply from my gmail account I receive a reply from the forum telling me I don't have permission to post. This is a complete kicker because the gmail account is the email address I use for my forum admin account and the outlook one is the one I was using for my registered user testing, when I reply from my outlook account at work it gets added to the forum no prob.

I'm guessing that the problem here is gmail but I wouldn't have a clue where to start...

I also noticed that for some reason, although everything is setup identically and should be working fine, this hack is only working in one forum despite being enabled in four of them.

First, thanks for a great hack!

Now I have a really silly question that I hope you guys can help me with. I am going to install this hack and got caught up on one piece. In the instructions it says- create a new mail box on your server. I'm not quite sure what to do with this bit. Let me break down my setup for you.

I have vBulletin running on a server outside of my organization. And I have an exchange server in-house that handles all of our email. And our domain is handled by yet another server. I would like to setup email integration for several different forums that we have running off of this one vBulletin install.

If you could please tell me what mailbox (do I need a separate mailboxes for each forum?) I need to setup and how I go about all of this I would really appreciate it.

Sorry for being such a novice!

Thanks,
A

Yes, seperate mailboxes for each and every sub-forum.

Create a mailbox like you would if you had a new employee who needed a new email address.

Hi Cyricx, will this also include text from Private Messages if the member has "Receive email notification when receiving a new private message" turned on?

My latest code drop to you has this handled in a more elegant way, I think. I added a rather small bit of PHP/SQL code to NotifyEmailForNewPosts that removes all thread subscriptions for the user who is about to receive the forum subscription email, for that forum. As things progress, the thread subscriptions just disappear as needed. No admin or user activity required. It's working perfectly here on my VB system.

I alerted Cyricx about this. Don't chase rainbows ... what's happening is that if someone has a thread subscription for the current thread as well as a forum subscription for the forum in which the thread is contained, Email Integration first sends the HTML message from the forum subscription, then after the plugin exits, VB goes to send the notification message for the thread subscription. For some reason which I could not spook out, the contents of the VB thread subscription email (and the subject) are from the EMail Integration message. The rest of the mail headers, though are the normal VB thread subscription ones. The result is that the message is typed as text/plain, yet it contains the HTML body from EMail Integration, which the message receiver sees as raw HTML. I know this is hard to follow, but I found this and failed to squash it the "right" way. Instead, as my prev. message explains, I just remove the thread subscriptions, preventing those (redundant) emails from being sent :-)))))

Chris any feedback as to why 2.2 failed to import mail for us?

We've had to go back to 2.1 to get it to function and as you know that has the SQL bug still in there..... Desperate to get that fixed but until we can find out whay it fails to import we can not go back to 2.2.
