For your host name try, localhost, mail.yourdomain.com, yourdomain.com or your IP address for your server. I really want to create a script that will have you input a few of these different variables and then it'll run through a list and try to determine your settings for you. But that is also.. on my to-do list

Did I screw up something during installation ? I am not still not sure where I enabled the cron job. Does the script have the cron functionality or do I have to enable it in the c-panel of my site.

Does the script only verify with the email address or name also. Because in this case names do not match between vbulletin forum site and yahoo account, but emails match and hence i got the email.

Oh one more thing, in the email I received when someone replied, i see in the brackets - [forumname-t-321] ....is that normal.

thanks.

It only checks the email address. And then matches that up to your user's email address. So they have to send the email from the same email address that they have associated with their username on your forums.

The 10 minutes thing is based on activity. Vbulletin only runs cron jobs when the forum is active. This is because the variable to run the cron jobs is actually located in the footer template. So if noone is visiting your forums.. the cron jobs.. and the email integration won't run.

Basically.. it'll run a maximum of 10 minutes if your board is constantly active. Otherwise it will wait to run til the next time someone is visiting. The best way to understand this is to open up two windows. One is to your forums. and the other is the admincp, scheduled tasks.

Do this after the board has been quiet for a few hours. What you will see when you first login is a bunck of tasks that are past the time they were supposed to run. Each time you click on a different page on the site, one of the tasks will run that are waiting to run.
