SMF Mailing List Mod
pftq:
Thanks for letting me know - glad the latest update helped. I *just* released another update on emailpost.php (just replace that file) which should improve the parsing. Let me know if it helps with the "MIME format" problem (basically it's not splicing from the right part of the email). If not, it would help me debug a lot to get a copy of the email causing the problem - you can forward it to me at pftq [at] pftq.com
The webmaster email under Server Settings is what's used for sending out from the forum and for this mod. This is intentional so that replying again will send back to the forum and post to the board. Googlegroups does this as well - when you hit reply, it goes to Google instead of the sender. In your case, you'd want to set it to the cloudmailin address.
Right now, you can also add other addresses under the mod settings for the receiving side but not the sending side. For example, you can add boardX@forums.com and it'll post new topics sent to that address to the board assigned. Emails continued on that thread will be sent from boardX@forums.com but this only happens for topics started by email.
For threads with the same subject, the mod does two things:
- Check if the email contains quoted replies. If so, then it appends the new reply to the most recent thread with that subject.
- If the email has no quoted replies, it is assumed to be a new thread and a new topic is started.

Hi,
I'm trying to install the newest mod version on my dev server however I when installing it i get the 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' error in IE and in FireFox I get 'The connection was reset, The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading' error.
Any idea's? I'm using Opensuse 12.1
The earlier version worked fine.
Thanks,
W

Maybe try unzipping the folder (if you haven't already) in your directory. I remember sometimes getting a timeout from my server on mods in general if they're installed as zip files.
MrMike:
Very cool mod!
This worries me, though:
DISCLAIMERS:
** This mod does not check for email spoofing when matching addresses to existing members.
It is designed for smaller forum communities where this is less likely to be an issue.
I'd highly recommend doing the email matching/verification- as soon as one spammer finds the 'send to' address, the board(s) will be flooded with all sorts of junk. I haven't looked at the code but it seems like a relatively straightforward thing to implement.

I've thought of this a lot but haven't really come up with a way to prove what emails are real (not-spoofed) without going into a lot of record checking (DKIM, SPF, etc). What's the straightforward way? :)
