How do you uninstall this as its takes up to much bandwith went over my forums quoter, good job am on a reselleraccount i run aswell.

Great hack just need to uninstall. How?

Just remove the files you uploaded and delete the USENET forums. That is all.

I have installed this hack and it worked great but now a couple of day's ago i'm getting errors.

I don't know what is going on here but it does not work any more.

I have this installed on one of my forums and it is working great. I installed it on another forum and all of the scheduled tasks are not working. I have imported 40,000+ threads and would hate to have to re-import them.

The original skin is in place and the $cronjob variable is part of the footer. There is enough traffic to keep the script working... I have asked on vB.com forums but was told I could not get support since the board is "hacked".

Do you all know of anything that might have caused the scheduled tasks to stop working? I was hoping someone out there might have had the same problem but found a way to kick start the tasks?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi all,

I still can't post to usenet. Everything works fine besides that. I can import all the messages, and post in the thread. But the posts are not getting sent to usenet.

My host has told me that he gets an error stating that there is no "to:" and no email address from the poster. So, I'm guessing since these are missing, the posts are rejected from usenet.

Here's the error message from my host (I've changed my host name and my IP):

-----Original Message-----

A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no

So pretty much everything is screwed up. No to, email, organisation, user-agent and the profile and view this thread also.

I have also attached 2 screenshots of my newsgroup settings from phpmyadmin. (I changed my website name to xyz to protect the guilty :rolleyes: ).

Thanks

Can someone post an example of their killfile that has been successful in stopping spam?

hi,
This is one of the another awesome hack on vb.org Big thnx for releasing.
* SaN-DeeP installed successfully.

I was able to install this hack successfully though i have a few problems.

1. I have setup a Scheduled Task in my admincp -> scheduled task manager -> named as Gateway threads import with foll. settings:

Day of the Week = *
Day of the Month = *
Hour = *
Minute = 15
Log Entries = Yes
Filename = gateway.php

a. I find that there are no log entries generated for same ?
b. This file is now called every minute, i can see new posts/threads from those servers every new minute on my forums ? (I want to import messages @ an interval of every 15 minutes)

2. Unable to send messages back to those newgroups, from forums. I dont have SSH/TELNET access to my server, confirmed with my host and got a reply that port 119 is enabled both ways..
(Please let me know exactly what logs do i post here, to debug)

3. I have checked some other boards using this hack and found they have filtered there threads titles which contain words Re:
or
there body messages which start with > symbol are not there.
Any general idea, on taking those off would be helpful for me.

Some of the changes I have done to Gatway Settings are as follows:
Title - Varname - Value
Tech-Arena - organization - Tech-Arena - http://207.58.143.178/
User Agent - useragent - vBulletin USENET gateway
Email address domain - email - tech-arena@DoNotSpam.com
Make TinyURL at Length - tinyurl - 70
Honour No-Archive - honor_no-archive - 0
Is Gateway Running - is_running - 1
Send no footer - nofooter - 0
No Organization Check - organization_check - 1
Use Post Time - use_post_time - 1
Skip attachments - no_attach - 1
Pause Between messages - pause_seconds - 0
Send message to USENET - send_message - 1
Find Thread by Subject - thread_by_subject - 0

My Forums URL - http://207.58.143.178/forums/
Expecting a positive feedback soon.

Regards,

1. I will check the log problem before next release.
Make sure you do not have another scheduled task which has * set to the minute. If you set 15 to the minute, it should not run every minute!

2. Time and time again, if there is no debug masssage posted, I would not have single idea about why the posts do not go out. People seem think I know all their server situations.:)

3. No idea about this.

Sorry but were do i find those debug messages now ?
i followed the installation files, and did not find anything related to there.

or if i was not able to see them there :S

Thnx.

I get this on my screen when I import newsgroups:

As you can see it gets messages but fails to post. I also tried changing the port references to 80 instead of 119 and get exactly the same thing. Any ideas how I can get this working 100%?

Also assuming I get it working where do I edit to place my custom signature?
