Andre N:
Sure. I'll see if I can get it to work with 2.x and post any results

ledaladdin.com:
this is maybe the one mod that would put SMF on equal footing with groups like yahoo

Andre N:
I have been messing with it and I think it can work. The installer script doesn't modify much and I made some changes to it because the stuff it did change was ever so slightly different than in 1.x
The script that does the work, looks like it will work too, as long as all the db queries are changed to be the new 2.x style of query, which I changed as well. I need to try it out and see, and if it works, hopefully the author will let us post it here.

update:
The new modified package installed flawlessly, meaning package-info.xml and emailpost_v1.03.mod are likely good. I'm confident about the .mod file because the changes needed were so slight.
The db table was created successfully meaning emailpostPdb.php is correct. The only thing remaining to check is the functionality of the mod itself which is covered by the emailpost.php file. I made a lot of changes to that, I think all db related, so fingers crossed. I'll test it ASAP

Andre N:
Just an update real quick. I'm testing this on SMF 2.0
It installs flawlessly. It works fine sending the notification. The admin config works fine. For some reason I'm having trouble forwarding the email account to the script, because when I reply to the notification, the script isn't even executed. I get a bounce back email from my host saying that the message might be spam. I don't know how to overcome this; maybe it's my host, or a configuration issue.
I'm going to go over the emailpost.php script, which is the only portion I am not 100% sure about, with a fine tooth comb and then zip it and if someone wants to test it pm me your email address?
That way we can test it before I send it to the author... Otherwise I guess I'll send it to the author to test and make available, although I'd hate to bother/burden him since he's no longer active

Yiorgos:
I read elsewhere that you may have to create a user account (ie: EmailPoster) via your host control panel and give to that an Email (ie: emailposter@domain.com).

emailposter@domain.com will be the recipient of all the emails that will be posted in SMF.
That way hosts will accept incoming emails
Then the script should retrieve real posters username

If that does not make any sense please ignore.
Regards
