woohoo!

Good on you, bitg. I'm glad you got it fixed.

Thank you Allan, those instructions made much more sense. :D

Mwuahahaha I've no idea what a terminal window is. I tried the MSDos prompt out of curiosity, that looks like a 'terminal' thing, but of course I got 'bad command'.

So this is all from Linux eh? Might as well be Chinese for some of us. ;) Think I better read that link you gave if I plan on doing any more hacks. What's the betting I end up with a blank look on my face. <snerk>

The gateway appears to be working ok, but my main problem now is making sure it strips the vbcode properly on the outgoing.

Always seems to leave some of the color codes in which look weird in the newsgroup.

Thanx for your help. Couldn't have figured this without ya. ;)

Phoe

Allan, you've commented out the mime.php instead of the class.pop3.php. I assume this is an accident and the mime isn't supposed to be commented out?

Thanx!

Oops.

I fixed it.

Thanks!

I didn't know you were running Windows, Phoenix - the "man diff" probably didn't make any sense at all :)

Glad to be of service, though.

Allan, I am now getting the following error when synchronizing (only if a post is due to go out from my system).

Obviously some of that is messages received. Where is says "381 More Authentication needed" is confusing me. My outbound message is being posted and it recieves messages.

What is it authenticating?

I looked up the error number -

381 is a password request from the server. Everything's working fine - what you're seeing is normal authentication.

OK, I was just confused. Thank you for your help.

A nice addon would be to add an email obfuscator to the script so that emails that get printed via yoursite are not tried on on your email server by spam bots.

should be easy to impliment.

Hmmmm.

I may play with that a little. My mail server's getting hammered (well, not really but spam traffic is up) and I'd rather change the email domain to something that can't be resolved.
