Corys, is it possible that you could PM me a login and address to your site? If my preg_replaces don't account for the email type your getting then I'll make some adjustments to get it going

On my domain, I use the GMail domain email services and not the server based SMTP/POP3. How do I configure the emails?

Thanks

Use the same settings you would use for outlook express or a similiar program.

The file edits are only needed if you want to allow alternate attachment types. They will not add any queries at all, and even the template edit that is done is done in a way that if you don't do the file edits, it will just keep rockin along with no issues

Also the quick reply no longer works all that well... if i disable this product the quick reply works fine again? weirdness


Yeah I've tried numerous configurations. The last conifg I have is reverting back to my ISP's mail server using my login details and email address for my ISP. The test users have accounts inside our company and some with Gmail too... still no dice.

With my ISP mailserver I can use POP3 or IMAP but still no joy with either

Rusty, the quick reply concerns me, that means it might not be behaving well with another modification. If you would like to PM me an admin login I'll figure out what is going on there.

This is a basic rundown of how the emails work..

When a new thread is created on the forum, plugins check for the email integration settings and then send an email out to everyone that has subscribed to that FORUM for instant email notification.

When a new reply is added to a thread, the plugins check to see what forum that thread is in, and then if that forum has email integration settings, and then sends an email out to everyone that is subscribed to that FORUM for instant email notification.

The cron job does the processing of the emails.

It checks your forums for email integration settings and then connects to each of the mailboxes one at a time. Pulls all the messages out, decodes them, cleans them up, checks for errors etc.

If it is determined that the email is a reply, it uses the datamanager to send the reply and uses the plugins to send out the emails.

If it is a new thread, then it uses the datamanager to post the new thread and uses embedded code in the file to send the email.

So the only time you'll get an email when you run the cronjob is when it is grabbing an email

Additionally, manually running the cron job will sometimes cause the quote boxes to not appear in the mailbox. This is due to the bbcode_quote template not being cached in the admincp



Anyone that has fubared emails or posts please let me know

I know that this is why people have shyed away from making this mod in the past, but I'm determined to get this working for everyone!!

Hey, I can dream right?
