*phew*

Here it is people, the hack I use at vBulletin.org that allows you to send replies to the thread through email.
I've rewritten most of it in the last couple of days, killing bugs and making the code more readable with comments.

Installation is pretty easy, download the attaced ZIP file and read readme.txt.

This hack is provided as is and with no support whatsoever!
DO NOT email, private message or contact me through any other means about this hack. You will be ingored and receive bad jake karma! (provided graciously by jake Inc.)
Bug reports are welcome.

I hope none of you will need any support, this is not a space ship and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to install it.

Enjoy!

Thanx for sharing this hack & your documentation, Chen - that was quiet earlier as you promised

But...okay..in german may be everything sounds even more strange, ...but can anyone explain what the heck an eMail-pipe is ?

Chen, we all read that you don?t wanna give any support for this hack - but could you give us a little help and explain what this eMail-pipe is ? As you can see many off us ran into this problem and a short description in the readme.txt could lighten up the dark :nervous:

TIA,
Marv.

:rambo:
here comes Firefly with the help.

Nope, me instead

Actually I can't provide any help, but I would like to say this is pretty cool and I'm sure my members would enjoy it. I haven't used it yet at VB.org, but I haven't had a need to.

Where?

*Looks up at the sky*

Thanks Chen...Real good

whats an Email PIPE?

/me getting annoyed now... seriously PERIOD.

Marv · #18 07-03-2002, 08:52 PM

I guess an eMail-Pipe is a server sided option which let emails from a particular account point to a shell-script.

..and I guess only 5 percent of us get access to the shells or have a dedicated server ...

On most shared servers email-pipes are forbidden because they?ve been used in the past as some kind of attack-tools. Btw the?are listed in/as the "Network Attack Signatures " . That?s the reason my Hosting-Provider won?t support this feature. :dead:

Any chance to get this fabulous hack to work in another way ?

it would be rather helpful if Chen did offer support

That's pretty much correct. You need to ask your host to set it up, you can't do it yourself (unless you own the server).
