Post Message/Pictures by Email - feature needed for cellphone users

[Ron Bennett]

To begin with, I'm aware there's another thread here about posting messages by email, but it seems nothing ever came of it.

We need the ability for users to post messages, in particular, pictures by email to our vBulletin board - version 3.0 RC 4.

Many folks have picture cellphones and want to post, but can't because many new phones don't fully support web access; more expensive to use than ordinary email for many cell phone users.

We are prepare to pay for a custom modification that would allow our users to post messages, importantly pictures, by ordinary email - in particular from their cell phones.

Please let me know if you know of any such mod script available and/or are able to write one for us - we will pay top-dollar for a quality, tested script that works smoothly and efficiently.

Thank you in advance for any help.

It appears we must be among the very few who seek a Post by Email script based upon the lack of views and zero responses

With that said, we will PAY CASH for the script if that's what it takes to get it done.

PM me here or email me at admin@psychotropics.org if you are able to assist.

We could use a script like this as well... so count me in as interested in seeing if anyone has anything that could do this.

This is an old thread (mar 2004), but I realized today how this could benefit us as well.

This could be used for mailing lists that send out summaries each day -- the summary could be emailed to the board; which could then include them in the searchable data, in a specific forum tied to the FROM address of the email (in the case of the summary email-list posting) --- or based on the subject.

For my particular use, it can NOT require the username or password to be in the subject; nor can it require specific wording in the subject. I can't change what the list servers send as part of their subject, so to make this work, I have to be able to use THEIR subject and my "special" inbound email address.

or what would be cool... it to have vb receive an email and based on the subject post it into a thread.. umm yea

There is also a hack for 2.2.6 for email to post, that is not supported, and does not appear to be ported to vb3: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...il+post+thread

But this one requires specific info in the subject -- my interest is NOT to have this specific so that any email can be posted into a specific forum - based on the originator of the email.

Gimp posted this version also for 2.2.x

Is there any interest out there by the super hackers, to write such a script? We also have a few bucks that we will put in as compensation.

What can be done for vb3? I've searched, but if I have missed where this is done already, shame on me - but please point me to the correct location.

Well there is a program you can buy that will allow you to access your whole board via a WAP enabled cell phone. It will allow you to post, reply to threads, basically anything you can do on your web based board can be done on this. It's called WiForums. Do a google search for it.
