*phew*

Here it is people, the hack I use at vBulletin.org that allows you to send replies to the thread through email.
I've rewritten most of it in the last couple of days, killing bugs and making the code more readable with comments.

Installation is pretty easy, download the attaced ZIP file and read readme.txt.

This hack is provided as is and with no support whatsoever!
DO NOT email, private message or contact me through any other means about this hack. You will be ingored and receive bad jake karma! (provided graciously by jake Inc.)
Bug reports are welcome.

I hope none of you will need any support, this is not a space ship and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to install it.

Thank you kindly for sharing it.

Think that file is required??? :D


I know I know, no support but it would be nice to get all the files :D

found the mimeDecode.php. But itself requires pear.php and cannot find that one.

Ok, uploaded a new file to the first post. Make sure you download the new zip file, then upload mimeDecode.php to your forums folder.

Lionel: This is a modified version that doesn't require PEAR. You can get PEAR from http://pear.php.net/ if you really must know. :)

OK, I am using bigmailbox and my MX are pointed to them. Therefore all emails addresses @mysite.com come from bigmailbox.

Anybody, not Firefly :ermm: , is there a way to handle the below?

(7) Your part is done, now you need to ask your host to setup an email pipe on the server from newpost@example.net (this is the email you chose in step (2)) to getpost.php (the path from step (5)).

<-same problem here-> :confused:

whats a mail pipe? can i just make the thing in my virtual control pannel for my domain?
