There's also an entry created in the vb_attachment table for the attachment. Most of the fields in this table entry are correct (postid, userid, dateline). But there's no data at all stored in the "filedata" column for this entry. So the attachment is effectively discarded even though the post shows that it has an attachment. In my case, I've got attachment processing enabled, but didn't make any of the changes to allow unknown type attachments. The attachment type I am using to test with is a small .jpg file. Posting with this attachment via the forums webpage works fine. But via email it doesn't. This problem isn't new to 2.3.1. It hasn't worked in any previous rev I've tested either. 2.3.1 looks functional enough for me to deploy on my live board if attachments work.

Capsize, can you send the email you tried to send to testforums(at)campgaea(dot)org? Also please go to your admincp -> attachments -> attachment manager and tell me if you have it set to store attachments in the database or file system.

for those that may take advantage of the email system, sending emails
that should not be sent...

Thank-You

On the stripping words, links etc topic. I'll take some look into this. It shouldn't be too hard to do a quick regex with a global option. I'll add that to my list

On the second topic, you can easily control who's emails are processed. When you go to the forum manager and input the settings for the mailbox there is also a setting there for what usergroups can post messages from emails. This also handles secondary usergroups. So you only put those that can post to the forum in that usergroup and add that usergroup to that setting and your good to go
