Where is the info to add users to certain forums be default. I realize this is not the correct place to talk about this. I would appreciate if you just point me to the right direction.

You can give a group like Registered users the access rights to the forums, and the users will then have the default access.

I think you might mean this;

in admicp

vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Email Intergration - check out the very last option
"User's can choose to not auto subscribe?" set it to "No" and all new users will be subscribed to forums which are enabled for that usergroup.

In the management for each forum under Forum Manager in AdminCP, you need to enter the ID of each [S]forum[/S] usergroup which can use EI.

Toivo,
Many thanks for that php code to run access the forums via a cron job, I have it installed and it seems to work well.

It's a bit like the final piece in the EI puzzle :)

Regards,
Kevin

[S]Actually, there is still one piece missing for me. [/S]

I worked it out :o

Does anyone know why we might be getting some messages repeated with html code in them like this (see below). When I say repeated, the message came through twice - once formatted correctly and once with html at the beginning and end. Only the clean vserion ended up on the forum. This is the beginning of the email wihc went out to subscribers to the forum;

CURRENT MESSAGE FROM: geo

Vitessebooks (of Aachen, NRW, Germany) have this
at US$ 234.06, and this seems to be the
English-language edition from Copress Sport,
M?nchen (1996) -despite the German description.
To quote "Englischer Text. Nat?rlich 328 Seiten
!" It has the same number of pages as on the
Bentley link, incidentally, it weighs a hefty
1.8kg! Curiously, Copress Sport Verlag only has
Simons' early BMW book (up to 1932) on its own
site.

Suggestion::

Almost all the users on my site are accustomed to basic mail lists where the From address is that of the poster (with the return address that of the mail list).

I know the reasons why we wouldn't want to do this with vBulletin and EI, but it could be useful to have the from address as "poster username" <forum email address>

This would make it much easier to identify posts from a specific sender.

We are now running this on a live forum and I thought it might be worth sharing some of the issues we have come across;
  1. We had a small number of posts by email that displayed the html code in the email - we seem to have solved this by switching to plain text in the settings.
  2. Users clicked 'reply' after receiving an email notification of a new post, then cleared the whole email composition window and typed their reply, resulting in a new thread being created by EI.
  3. Users accidentally editing the dashed lines resulting in the whole reply email being puiblished in the forum, rather than what was just between the dashed lines - I'm surprised this wasn't treated as a new thread by EI.
  4. One user couldn't figure out why he couldn't type his reply between the dashed lines before he clicked 'reply', (he thought it was because he was using a Mac!).
  5. Users have also experienced some formatting/line break issues, possibly because their email text has been pasted from another application.
  6. We have noticed that some users tend to reply to any email with a completely unrelated post which belongs in another forum. In this instance we move the post, however if another user respond to the original post by email, their reply ends up in the original forum, rather than the forum the post was moved to.

Although all but one of these are user related problems, they should be considered carefully before using EI on a large, busy vBulletin site, because it could easily create a heavy admin load for the site owner.

Is there a way to install root certificates for EI? Our IT just implemented this and we can no longer retrieve messages from the exchange server.

Try using one of the connection options of with officially signed certificates or unofficial.

That should change the connection to the correct port.
