ok. Not sure what I actually did, but I got it to working.

Wow Cyricx, let me just say thanks for the awesome mod. This might or might not be the lynchpin of me convincing our group to switch from our old mailing lists to a real 2008 piece of software for our intranet.

I have this working a little, but I have two very very large issues that are preventing me from testing this any more.

First, is there any way I can have the software care about the 'TO' field instead of the 'FROM' field? OR what about specifying the filter criteria for matching myself? For various reasons, I am working from a pre-existing email list that cannot be reconfigured, so I'm stuck with my list email being in the 'to' field. It only takes emails if it finds a user with an email address corresponding to the email in the 'From' of the list email.

Secondly, my list is live, so the rejection emails when I have things wrong are driving my users crazy. Is there any way for me to have it send error emails somewhere BESIDES back to the sender in the email? This is a show-stopper for me -- it's erroring out, but I can't test it because I only have problems with your mod and my actual list list, not with my control emails, and testing the list spams it and there are 100 people reading this in my business.

What do you think? Any thoughts are welcome!

I'm really not understanding what your meaning here... let's talk via PM and try to determine what your needing :)

You can define the email to come from the same person, same email address for all emails (just the reply_to changes for each forum), you can set that up in the settings.

It's really a bad idea to test anything in a global environment. Create a new forum, with a new email box and only let your admins and moderators interact with it. Then you can test it without having your user's experience any problems.

I've uploaded a 2.6.1 beta version which in my testing has resolved the multiple posted replies error.

It does not have any new features in it.. this is just a hotfix :)

That hopefully fixes it...

Got it Chris, interestingly enough I did not get an update notification through.

Yeah.. I didn't send one. Didn't want to keep bombing everyone, especially until I had good confirmation that it was a fix.

Fixing it on my test site doesn't always = fixing it live. That's where I look for bug reports :)

1-Hmmmmmmmmmm this gave me an idea. Ok I'll put that in my test. I have to redeploy the whole install before I try again so it'll take me another day or two because of regular time constraints.

2-I agree fully. I did have it set up the way you describe and it was working to my satisfaction. It was when I went to do a small test on the live list address when I ran into some of my limits. It just so happens that one rejected email caused 100 people to phone me haha.

I PMed you my IM info, and I'll speak to you as we have time. Thanks Cyricx for your brain time.

Best regards,

Hi Cyricx. Thanks for this great mod. I currently encounter some grumpy old ladies who also refuse to use the message board and only want to keep their conversation via email :rolleyes:

I have 2 questions and hopefully you can help me out.

1) i believe i got everything installed properly. when someone creates a post or thread, a forum subscribed user receives an email in his inbox, and when he replies, it sends a notification other subscribers but doesn't direct to the forum for some strange reason. is there a setting in my server that may prevent this from happening?

2) when a subscribed user creates a thread/post in the forum, it sends a notification email to himself. is there anyway to prevent this? instead only send an email when someone else posts in that subscribed forum other than himself?

Thanks in advance!

Loaded it finally this afternoon Chris. Forum has been quiet today but no dupes at all yet!

Thanks for a great plugin. This really elevates vBulletin's usability. I had one problem though - new threads didn't show the posters name in the initial email on "CURRENT MESSAGE FROM:" line for new style emails. I played around with this and fixed it by changing
to

in the newthread_post_complete plugin.

EDIT: I know my profile shows 3.6.7, but this was also on my 3.6.8 PL2 dev board.
