The security offered in the modification I have written is just as secure as yahoo email groups. :)

It does offer some difficulty in that the code I'm using also checks the domain name that sent the email.

I am looking into ways to possibly embed security words into the header, but that will be a bit down the line.

Right now I'm happy with it being just as secure as the yahoo email groups that have such a high popularity :)



Linnov - You can try calling the exec_send_notification function. Here is the code to call that function as cut from the functions_newpost.php file

You will need to fiddle with your code to get the threadid and postid determined.

Unfortunatley I don't have alot of time to dig into the code you posted to say how to set those variables :(



Currently... I'm getting my ass kicked by functions called from cron jobs... I've almost got vbmail working to process emails, just getting hammered by trying to rebuild the email headers through the cron job. Bear with me all.

okies thanks I'll give it a whirl

Cyricx, thanks for the answer, what do you think about add addition password for every user who use "Email integration tools"... I mean that user must provide "mail password" in every email body if he would like to add comments. its more secureв way...

Other question: can I block comments by mail for use by members? and use only new threads notification for users.

I am strongly working to avoid the password required. Due to it having the same, and actually a touch better security then the yahoo groups that are so wildly popular I'm pretty comfortable with it. I believe that requiring a password will remove the usefulness and the general acceptance from the users for this mod. Most of them can't remember their passwords as it is :)

To the other question, you can restrict it by usergroup. New thread notifications do not work hand in hand with forum notifications... yet... that's a plan for the future.

Right now my focus is being dumped into getting this to work with vbmail. Right now I'm having serious issues getting the email headers to rebuild via the cron job so... everything is hinged on getting that working.

thanks for the answer

about the passwords you can add checkbox for the administrators and give them opportunity to choose use passwords feature or not.

I will go to look at vbmail, I does not use this system.

Hi

I downloaded and installed this mod today, but am having no joy what-so-ever with it.

I am not getting any errors appear when I run the Cron job, but then the system isn't working either.

I have set up the new mailbox, set up the user permissions as well as the forum things as per the instructions, but nothing seems to happen. I continue to receive notification e-mails from the normal e-mail account, and even when I send a new e-mail as a test to the new mailbox, and run a cron job, it doesn't post it (although it does appear to pick up the e-mail which is odd)

Please let me know if anyone has any possible suggestions! I can provide more info if needed

Thanks
David

is therea option to automate thumbnails for picture attachments ??

somehow this is not working ...

also if i send a png file (lowecase filename with numbers)
i get the log:
mail answer:any idea ?

Has the gmail issue been solved yet? Last time I checked emails in my gmail account appear as raw html still. Gmail is the only problem I'm having with this mod but seeing as so many people using the small forums I've setup to use this feature use gmail it's a major impediment.

Thanks

Mike

I'm getting the same thing. I'm sure I have plain POP, but tried the other 5 options as well and it made no difference.

Help?

I made a post to this effect a couple of months ago, but it bears repeating: Please don't cobble up Email Integration with password security or other stuff. Spam protection does not belong in this system! It is rightly the responsibility of AV/AS software that manages that stuff system-wide.
