Email to post

[QSTR]

Yes it is.

PHP with pop3/imap client for the e-mail account + vB cron job + datamanager.

--------------- Added [DATE]1431204794[/DATE] at [TIME]1431204794[/TIME] ---------------

Setup email account.
Set user/forum/thread ids.

Later put the code into some file - lets call it 'email2post.php', upload to the main vB directory.
When all will be done, send a test email to your mailbox and run the script from a browser.

I tested it under vB 4.2.2.

Treat this script as example, fix it as you need. Do not use it in public,

PHP Code:
