I am trying to "mirror" a mailing list that I belong to to my vbulletin forum but am having some issues.
None of the users on the mailing list are users on my forum (and I want to keep it that way). I simply want a way to collect all of the messages on the mailing list and have them posted to my forum so I can easily read and search them. Is this possible? The problem I ran into is this:
1. I have a Gmail account that the mailing list messages go to. I setup EI to connect to that Gmail account so that messages are archived after downloading
2. The first time I ran the cron job it gave me an error saying no users with the gmail account that I use could be found. So I changed my email address on my forum to the gmail account. Then, when I ran the cron job all of the messages in the gmail account are removed from the inbox and archived. So far so good. But, when I then go to my forum none of the messages show up there.
3. To troubleshoot, if I send an email to myself using the gmail account, that message is correctly posted to the forum.
So it looks like it is ignoring any message that do not originate from my gmail account. Is this how it is supposed to work or do I have I have an icorrect setting somewhere?
More distressing is that I received error emails to my admin forum email address *from* the listserv saying "Your message dated Fri, 08 Aug 2008 20:03:54 -0600 with subject "Error:Invalid User Email" has been submitted to the moderator of the listserv". How does EI even know what the listserv email address is?? I really don't want *any* messages going to the listserv.
