Post from Email

[Grudge]

Link to Mod

This modification is designed to allow users of your forum to reply to notifications through email and have them appear directly onto the forum. This modification will keep track of every email sent out to ensure that users can post securely without risk of spoofing other peoples accounts and the like.

The modification will also add an option to "Feature Settings and Options" which will allow you to specify an email address which should be used for sending out notifications - this may be useful if you want to have an account seperate to the standard webmaster email.

After installing this mod you will need to configure your server to "pipe" email replies from notifications to this script. In cPanel go into Email -> Forwarding and then make the forum's email address forward to "|/home/path/to/SMF/emailpost.php" without quotes. Where the path is the path to the script (Note that path - not the URL!) If you are not using cPanel you'll need to set this up manually.

If you have PHP installed in a path other than /usr/bin/php you will need to change the top line of emailpost.php to point to the correct path. Please note that you *may* also need to chmod the script "emailpost.php" to ensure it is executable.

Finally, this script includes protection to stop people from spamming your forum using email - this works by limiting the number of replies to a notification to one - so users cannot reply to the same notification more than once. By default users will not receive an error message back to them in the case of an error occuring - you can enable error reporting from "Feature Settings and Options". Also note the script will require replies to notifications are made from the same address they were sent to.

Hi Grudge -

Good work! And fast! :-)

I've installed the mod and have the script piping correctly from email.

Some issues I'm seeing:

- I'm replying to notifications I get from SMF, but I'm getting error messages back saying "You are not allowed to reply to this topic." Is there something I need to set to enable emails to be sent in, or is this a configuration error? I don't see any special headers in the message envelope for the notification so perhaps I'm doing something wrong, or not understanding how your mod works.
- The email in the from address in the notification email is the webmaster address, not the address specified in the "Email address to email from (blank for forum default)" field. Again not sure if this is something I am doing wrong.
- Attachments are not delivered with the notification - this makes sense but it would be nice to be able to enable the sending out of attachments, or at least a message indicating that there is an attachment posted. I haven't tested it, but I am also assuming other non-english character sets won't work correctly.. is this right?

A feature I'd like to suggest is to be able to set a default forum for posts that aren't allowed elsewhere - i.e. a forum that only the admin can see. This will help a great deal with testing and for manually handling messages.

I'll do some more playing with this when I get back from a (much needed computer free!) holiday weekend on Tuesday.. in the meantime - kudos and many thanks for this very cool mod!

It would also be great if you could take a look at the FUD/mailman demo site I put up so we could have a conversation about features it has that I feel are needed in SMF. Details here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=10166.msg295656#msg295656

Cheers,

Tobias

Tobias Eigen,

Cheers for the reply. It sounds like maybe I have a bug in the permissions stuff then. That error message means the user doesn't have permission to reply to topics in that board - and I assume you do if you are an admin.

The from email I can and shall fix in the next release.

You're correct about attachments. I assume you mean attachments delivered in the notification? This is something that is more SMF related than that of the mod - I don't think sending out attachments is particularly practical though as it would take a server to it's knees if you were sending out notifications to 100 people with a 1MB attachment.

Character sets I'm not sure about. It's one of things I was kinda hoping might get picked up in a beta

I'm not sure what you mean about a forum for posts not allowed elsewhere. Do you mean if someone replies to a notification to a board they are not allowed to post in it should get put in a kind of "dumping" ground?

I'm not going to have time to look at this again today but I will try take a look at some of the problems tomorrow. It's not my intention to make this a super complicated modification as I simply don't have the time (Most of my time is obviously spent on the core development of SMF). I did say I was never going to write any more mods but this seemed too popular to ignore it! I do hope that at the very least if people do want this expanded in the future (attachments etc) that someone else will be able to take this mod and advance it further. The handy thing about this mod is there are only a few changes to SMF - nearly everything is in the script you pipe to making it easy to develop. I'll try take a look at your other topic too - although I don't expect to be personally expanding this much beyond the basic "reply => post" functionality.

Hi

Thanks for making this into a mod.

I've never understood paths properly 

I've got my forum installed in a folder called test, with the smf files inside it.

So in cpanel, it shows as:  /public_html/test/emailpost.php
Does |home/... refer to my own domain? e.g. mydomain.org without the www?

So what path do I set the forum email to forward to?

[xenovanis]

You can find the path for SMF in your forums admin panel -> edit server settings -> directory to SMF

[rhizome]

Thanks xenovanis.

Ok, Grudge, I've set the path, checked on the php path, chmod the emailpost.php, but not getting a post showing up on the forum sent via email.

The message bounces see below. (I've substituted my domain name for ZZZ & ZZY here, as paranoid showing my real paths):

Ummm... that shouldn't happen. Can you try uncommenting this line out in SSI.php:

Code Select Expand


if (isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) && session_id() == '')
trigger_error($txt['ssi_session_broken'], E_USER_NOTICE);


(i.e make it)

Code Select Expand


//if (isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) && session_id() == '')
// trigger_error($txt['ssi_session_broken'], E_USER_NOTICE);


[rhizome]

Still not working, bounces again, but with a slightly different error message.
I included the whole return text now:

I assume this is a perfectly good 1.1 Beta 3 install - you're not using an old SSI.php etc?

The error message that gave was "Hacking Attempt" - and I'm not sure why it would do that. What happens if you please this:

Code Select Expand


// Only for use by piping!
if (isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))
die;

error_reporting(0);

$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] = '';
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = '';
@include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');
error_reporting(E_ALL);


By this:

Code Select Expand


error_reporting(0);

unset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] = '';
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = '';
@include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo 'Post SSI';

In the emailpost.php file and then try to access the script directly (Through the browser) - do you get an error or a message saying "Post SSI"

[rhizome]

Hi Grudge

I upgraded from 1.05, by copying new files across so ssi should be the latest?

Anyway, when doing the code replace, the browser window displays:

#!/usr/bin/php -q Post SSI

[Grudge]

Very odd. What about if you replace that code with this:

Code Select Expand


// Only for use by piping!
if (isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))
die;

error_reporting(0);

$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] = '';
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = '';
@include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
mail('[email protected]', 'Test Email', 'Test Email');
die;


Where [email protected] is your email address. You'll either get the same error email back - or a message saying "Test Email"

[rhizome]

In term of the email address, I assume you mean the forum site email

Replaced the code.
No email bounce, but didn't show up on forum either

EDIT: looking at my forum site email via webmail interface, message gets received like a 1000 times!
From:   [email protected]
To:     [email protected]
Subject: Test Email
Body: Test Email

[Grudge]

Ummm... OK - put everything back to normal. Can you please insert something into your smf_settings table. Please do:

Code Select Expand


INSERT INTO smf_settings
(variable, value)
VALUES
('disableQueryCheck', '1')


Then try again.

[rhizome]

Sorry, not done this kind of thing before.
I can open phpmyadmin and see smf_settings table, but what do I do next with the code?

[xenovanis]

On the top of your screen you see a tab 'SQL'. Copy the code Grudge gave you in the textfield under 'Run SQL query/queries on database' and click Go.

[rhizome]

Thanks. Ran the query fine.

Tried another test post.
Got a similar bouncing  error

OK,

Can you please try the attached file - it's got LOTS of debugging in it. You need to make sure your forum directory is chmod to 777. It will create a file in your forum directory called emaildebug.txt when it gets an email - can you post what it leaves in that file? Sorry about this - debugging this script ain't easy...

[rhizome]

Ok, did as what you said
But no debug text file generated. I checked that forum dir is 777
