OOPs. I sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of the mail you are going to receive.

*nods*

I think I got most of it last night....a lot of it Spam itself, ironically. :)

Posting a public apology in the newsgroup and on my homepage is about all I can do tho unfortunately.

I installed the script, tried running gateway.php and it keeps asking my newserver for more permission, it gets my username, but for some reason will not get my password. I've checked the SQL database and the password is there, but when I check in the admincp panel, its not displayed.

Am I doing something wrong? I followed the installation instructions completely.

Okay I fixed my own problem, apparently an SQL error the field PASSWORD was in capitals and i altered it to lowercase now it accepts my password and is now retrieving messages as we speak.

I noticed you have an extra +OK there before the USER command. Do you need to type a Return?

Also try this:

In pop.php around line 108, find:

fwrite($this->pop_connect, $message . "\n");

Change the "\n" to "\r\n"

Has anyone figured a way to completely stop attachments from being imported? I just want my regular users to be able to post but not pull in any from the newsgroups at all.

Thanks!

Just comment out "process_attachments()" call, or add "return;" just after "function process_attachments(...) {" line.

Thanks but can you tell me which line and what exactly to do? I found three different areas that I think you mean but I am not sure.

Thanks again for the help!

-Jason

GREAT it works!
One more question, How can I make all messages pulled from pop to appear as posts in the thread, not as threads in the forum?
Thanks,

I implemented the gateway on my forums and it is working well, except that many messages are not threaded. There was a fix posted earlier, but I believe that it can only be used for mailing lists. Can it also be used to correct the problem for USENET? You can see it here: http://www.theaudioforum.com

Thanks!!

I haven't had any problems since I've been using the hack, but today I added a new newsgroup and got this error:

After I got this error, the other two forums that are importing newsgroups stopped updating. Also, for some reason I couldn't connect to my admincp (even though I could for another site running on the same server). And just now, I can't even connect to the forum. I get this error message:

I had been running gateway.php via a cronjob in my cpanel, but I was worried that gateway.php might have been a runaway job so I deleted it. However, I don't think that actually shut it down.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Still waiting for an update. :)

One of your table is corrupted. The reason could be a lot of things. One thing the gateway can do is pushing the server to the limit when importing large amount of data, ie. the initial importing for a newsgroup. That should not cause your database to corrupt though.

I'm getting prompted to download gateway.php when I try and open it in the browser. Is this what it's supposed to do?

This is what I'm getting. Now what do we do next?

Please refer to the third post on the first page.

Did you have any ideas on this one?

The attachment was not decoded.

If you can post the sample email, I will have a look. I need the email in raw format, you can delete the middle of the attachment. I mainly need to analyse the mime containers.

Would it be better if I resend the email directly to you with attachment?
The file is only very small.

I can go to outbox and resend and just change destination address, that way you can get 100% same as I send.

The email path was from my home PC, directly to the mail server for the domain used (same server) and gatweway.php will collect it locally. Or i can place an email address from you as a forward and you can get the output directly from the server.

The emails for the address used are not held/stored at the server

If it helps the file was packed with winrar, but I use .zip extension as more people understand zip (can be opened in WinXp/zip compatible).

lierduh, you've done it again ;)

I installed the latest version and it's got all the options I need - so I don't have to hack gateway.php to get things the way I want them. Works just great.

I especially appreciate the 'no altering vB files' option for the control panel. I've decided with vB3 I'm not installing features that alter vB files - well, I did add a oneliner for photopost integration but that's all ;)

Being able to run nntp_settings and nntp_groups helps me out a lot.

Thanks again -

Please post to the forum instead of emailing me. I only need the header, the beginning and the ending of the attachment. It does not matter what file extension you have. As long as they are correctly MIME coded, it should be decoded properly. What email program do you use?

Which version of the script are you using? did you hack any part of the script before you had the attachment inserted as normal post?

OK, Ill see if I can do that shortly.

The Email was sent from Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5703)

I used the last version of the script that you posted which you advised.

I did not hack any part of the script.

The forum has posting of attachments disabled.

Ill go off and send the email to myself now to get the headers :nervous:

Message headers as received

The script that is running is this one

Dear lierduh

I am having some more troubles, i guess it might be associated with the mime decoding and the handling of line wraps. Possibly you have some ideas already because of the attachment issue.

Example

Message at my inbox

Message in forum

Headers

This is now a regular occurance with the test forums. Every other post looks like this.

The isue seems to be LF/CR and also bad handling of charset because of the missing "?"

Do you want me to replace the last version of gateway.php you supplied with the original (from first post) and see if the issue is still present?

Any help appreciated

This is very strange now

I just did another update

What was sent

What i got was this a subject and no message body

Hi

Great hack, nice and easy to setup!

I have one problem though, in several groups I get an error on the odd message that looks like this:

I've tried using the filter thats posted a few pages back but it doesnt seem to help, does anyone have any ideas?

cheers

The problem is the message-id of the message you are trying to import does not comply to the standard. It contains a quote in the message-id. I have a fix for the same problem, if you go back, you should be able to find my post.

Or otherwise, just up the lastmsg and skip this message.

The >=20 is to do with Characterset/language. Many people suffer this problem, it can almost all go back to Outlook Express generated messages. According to the header, the message should be a pure text message. I myself pretty confused about the problem. Even vB team mentioned this problem makes their support harder.

What language do the senders use usually?

In the next version (I need a good block of time like a free weekend to work on it), I will have an option to disable the importing of attachments.

Thanks mate!

Is there a way to send the signature and a forum tagline (with the thread links) to the usenet but not the profile information? I REALLY dont like my profile or my users going directly to the usenet.

Thanks again for all the help!

Most users will post messages in English but I am not sure what the default regional settings would be in windows.

I think I seen some threads at vb forums and I think it was over multiple line breaks.

When the 'reply to forum' feature was available on these forums i never seen this happen, but you could never tell what was replied to by email and what was posted to the forums and it also used named pipes instead of collecting from the mailbox. Perhaps an idea for an option for users who have server which support named pipes and skip the mailbox stage completely (also no need for crons).

vB use a similar system for their support tickets, reply by email, not sure if they see the same issues but I have just looked at the tickets i have submitted and they seem OK also.

This is indeed a great addition to vb, any help you can offer to fix these small things is great.

This was one of the thread i was thinking of, but not the exact one, ill keep looking

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ht=line+breaks

I am just wondering if the pop3 server has to do with this. Do you know what kind of pop3 server you are using? You can "telnet <server address> 110" and find out.

Got this error:

Gateway version 2.1.0 1 group(s) gatewayed.
Could not connect to NNTP-serverNot connectedNot connected

What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to connect to alt.sports.football.pro.denver-broncos

All of the sudden my names of every usenet message has gone blank. It was working before. Where should I look for the fis for this?

clicks install

I just send you login and account by PM ;)

I have installed and tried to run gateway.php for the first time and I get this error :

Gateway version 2.1.0 1 group(s) gatewayed.
Could not connect to NNTP-serverNot connectedNot connected

Any ideas ??

tia

Have been quite busy with things. Will have a look very soon.

Have you installed other hacks recently?
