Wow, well then allow me to submit that this hack's TITLE sells it's usefulness a bit short. It's basically an email gateway to vBulletin thread creation, then. The email doesn't have to be from Google or an alert at all.

(Jafo232, you may want to reconsider the title of your excellent hack, as some folks will overlook this as yet another RSS scraper/poster, when it can be so much more.)

I'd very much enjoy this as a way to create threads on the go when I don't have speedy web access. Hopefully I'll get the error (posted above) sorted out so I can see it in action.

Your version of PHP was not compiled with imap support, this hack will not work for you. If it was compiled with imap support, then the function imap_open would be defined.

anyone actually got this to work yet ?

I use it everyday, works for me.

Bummer. I thought this hack was working via POP, not IMAP.

Glad your hack is working for you, though.

It does use POP, but PHP must be compiled with imap support because the imap_open function is used for opening both imap and POP boxes.

Would it work using a pure IMAP account? As I can easily turn POPs into IMAPs.

Or do I have to change anything in PHP.ini?

Sorry if that are dumb questions...

If you get the "undefined function" error, then no. It isn't about what type of box it is, it is the fact that your version of PHP was not compiled with the --with-imap option.

Jafo,
**Excellent Hack** Been waiting for something like this for years!

Thanks!
Don

Yes, this is the true email posts to forum tool!
I made one small change so that it would accept any email message...
In VBOX.PHP, change line 33 from
if (!in_array($from[0]->host, $domains)) {
to
if (in_array($from[0]->host, $domains)) {

This way only domains listed will be ignored (versus permitted).
