Find out which postid has the problem of not being sent. Check the "post" table, and see if the "isusenetpost" is 1. When someone posts a new message, isusenetpost is 0 as the default. The script changes it to 1 after posting it. |

However, for some reason I'll never understand, there will always be people who only want to participate via email. Thus the need for both the forum and email list and not just one or the other. Quote:
I'm quite sure that if it worked like how I hope it will that everyone would be agreeable to it since it would benefit both the list and the forum; increased exposure for both groups and imo, a much better user interface with the forum. |

There are quite a few benefits by using email to participate in a mailing list instead of using a forum interface. eg. 1) No delay of sending the message 2) Alerted straight away when a reply is available 3) Knowing the format sent will be the format seen in the email ... Quote:

I guess what you want to set up is (let me know if it is not): * Let only handful of forum members to post in the mailing list forum, perhaps by setting forum permission. * They need to subscribe to the list using the same email address as the email address they use for the forums I think finding the methodology is the hard part. Looks like the mailing list part of the function has taken over the usenet part. It can only be: 1) The usenet part just works without the need to post a message 2) There are plenty demand for the mailing list function (should I say list archive function at this stage) |

When I originally was looking at forum software there was one product (I forget which one) that allowed users to particpate via the forum or via email. So, if someone posted a message on the forum they would receive an email that they could then respond to. That response would then show up back in the forum. Neither one would even be aware the other wasn't posting messages in the same way. This allows the best of both worlds, those who want to particpate via the forum can and those who choose to only particpate via the mailing list can also do so. The hard part is making it transparant to the user. When I think how it would work I guess that's what I'm shooting for :) Those who are happy to post via email could continue to do so and those who want to view and post messages on the forum could choose that option. The end result is that both groups are happy and both groups have increased exposure. Quote:

I am likely the only one here who is interested in this function :D, so I don't want to take up too much of your time making something that I'm likely the only one to use. I was just hoping it might be somthing quick and simple, like unscrambling the outoing email address and perhaps inserting the posters name into the "From" field. Regardless, I am very happy with how it works now and I appreciate the work you have done on the hack :) |

I am delighted with this; thank you! It was painless to install, worked both inbound and out the first time without fiddling, and adds a handy new service for my members. I would like to find a way to automate the gateway.php calls under WinNT 4, though. I understand the concept of 'cron' but don't see how this maps directly over, other than through "Scheduled Tasks" - specifically, how I can run the PHP script either in a browser window that closes when done, or without the need for a browser at all. (Anyone who has insights on my related question of importing text files as vB3 messages is welcome to chime in as well, over at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=66250 - thanks.) |
i can find the name, like alt.paranormal - how do i know what it's nntp is?

If your ISP doesn't carry newsgroups or the specific one you want, there are subscription services available, and maybe even a free German news-server still available upon request. |
Is there a way to write a conditional in Postbit LEgact so that if it is a USENET or MList post that we can disable the entire postbit or just make it display something like "USENET"? That would make it a lot nicer when you have some really long names that are taken from the usenet.
Also, is there a way to disable the killfile for mlists only? The killfile is an AWEOME addition and has really, really helped me on my site. Thanks again for all the work on this!! -Jason |

Create a new task. When the box pops up browse to php.exe. The full path should show for the exe. You should see something like C:\Inetpub\php\php.exe or whatever the path to php.exe is. At the end of that add the path to gateway.php. When done you should have something like C:\Inetpub\php\php.exe C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\gateway.php Now go to advanced and set it to run every 15 minutes for 23 hours and 59 minutes. Click OK and when the password box comes up put in your administartor password. You now should have a scheduled task called php.exe. Open scheduled task folder and right click the task and run it. A DOS box should popup as it runs. If the box pops up and disapears right away then try to run the task command from a dos prompt. By doing this you'll see what the problem is. More than likely bad path. |

I searched my machine and checked my vB install to make sure I didn't have various copies of PHP floating about, and I have only the one in my c:\php4\php dir. It's PHP 4.3.3 if that matters. |

After getting thousands of messages from usenet, I'm starting to run into errors.
This is the latest: Code:

Also, I signed up for an account at Giganews for $7.99/month for 2GB.
Then I found out about Teranews.com - 50MB per day for only a $3.95 setup fee. This is slightly less than 2GB a month, but their paid acccount for $7.95 gives me 250MB a day (~7.3 GB month). Is there really such a huge difference in the quality of the connection? I don't think I'll need that much bandwidth. I'm considering dropping giganews and signing up with a free account at teranews. Thoughts? |

After disabling the one newsgroup above that is still giving me mysql errors, I have gateway.php set to run every 10 minutes via cron.
However, I am getting tons of doubleposts in those newsgroups. I think it must be because of gateway.php, because Agent and Google don't show the double posts. I don't think they're being threaded properly, either. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could take a look for me: alt.asian-movies http://forums.asiansinc.com/forumdisplay.php?f=74 http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...n-movies&meta= alt.food.asian http://forums.asiansinc.com/forumdisplay.php?f=73 http://groups.google.com/groups?q=al...ie=UTF-8&hl=en |

Woohoo, working like a charm again.
Positive Karma for you if this place had it. :) |
Mine was working fine, then all of a sudden it started getting stuck on "Getting message number 11653:".
It goes that far then says done. Of course when I try to refresh it I get the 30 minute warning. No new posts are picked up even after I've added new news groups. Please Help! |
You may want to do these fixes:

Is there anyway to set it so vB signatures ARE passed into the newsgroups?
|
Quote:
Keep in mind that most groups have rules on the size of the sigs, mostly 2 lines or 4 lines and with VB3 your users could have much, much bigger sigs. |
Does anyone have the "mailing-list footer stripper" working (released by KevinM)?
If I understand correctly you are suppose to add the first line of the footer between { } and it should strip the remaining lines -- is this correct? If it is - than I must be missing something. :( |
Request
An option to NOT send posts (created by forum members) to newsgroup. eg: Send posts created by members to newsgroup? Yes/No (The best place to put this would be in the gateway settings.) |

Important,
This hack is great but it's driving my post count on my site INSANE!! Is there anyway to run this hack but have the posts NOT counted towards your BOARD'S total posts? NOTE: I said BOARD total not USER total. Everywhere I ask this people tell me about teh option in the admincp to not count posts towards USER totals. |

Ok, I made a post http://forums.asiansinc.com/showthre...054#post476054 but for some reason it gave me a 500 error when running gateway.php.
So I disabled signatures and tried again, same result. See attached. |
