NNTP Gateway for Usenet ( Newsgroups ), Mailing Lists
Developer Last Online: Nov 2023
The latest version: V2.3.2 (31 Oct 2004)
What is it? This hack provides a gateway from vBulletin forums to the USENET. It allows forum members to read newsgroup messages as well as to send posts to the newsgroups. In a nutshell, it turns vBulletin forums into a basic function news reader. For an added bonus, this package also supports mailing list archive and forum to mailing list gateway. The software retrieves messages from a pop3 account and import them into the forums threaded. It also allows a forums user to send messages to the mailing list by the forum posting interface. Why? The gateway will be appreciated by forum members who do not know how to set up a news reader, or people who do not have port 119 open in their network. A forum interface to read and post news are often considered to be better than a news reader. The gateway adds more contents to your forums and allows the members to interact with wider audience. It is common to see new users signing up to use this feature. History This hack is basically a hacked vB2 NNTP gateway written by Gilby to work with vB3. The original hack can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...7&page=1&pp=15 Features Some of the features and improvement include:
Future development
What do you need and do not need? You do not need to edit vB php files if you use two bookmarks You need to edit one vB php file to insert two lines of code if you want direct click links within AdminCP. No need to run SQL. Installation Basically the AdminCP interfaces take care of installation as well as upgrade in the background. Back up your database first. The scripts can modify your database without alerting you! Please follow the instructions in the readme.txt file for more details. Support Please post your support questions to this thread. Please check the FAQ in the third post within this thread first. ================== UPDATES ====================== Jul 31 2004 (release version 2.2.0)
Please note, when you manually run the script, you must turn on the debug mode. Otherwise nothing will be displayed on the screen. To run as debug mode: http://forums.yourdomain.com/gateway.php?debug=1 25 Oct 2004

What is your "Email address domain" "email" setting? I am confused. You said before after you ran setlastmsg.php, you do not get any posts. Which is correct behaviour. Now you are getting 120MB download? Please post your settings, and screen dumps. That will be better than any description. See, last post you included the error message, I know straight away need to ask what is your setting regarding "email". |

I editted the above post. As for the attachements, non of the attachements are getting through.
Looking in Mysql, the filename isn't included in the attachement table, nor is the filesize and filehash. The actuall filecontents of the attachements are there. |

What I need is the raw message from one of the problem list you have. You need to get it from a normal email reader. |

The only hacks/changes i made to it, were changeing the userid into a valid/excisting userid, and added TABLE_PREFIX to the table creation/check routine.
As for the message, i have received it from someone else's mailer (even tho i signed up with a seperate account for this ), but i suppose it is what you requested. |
