Module: External Phorummail This module allows importing emails from external mail accounts through POP3, IMAP with SSL (requires the OpenSSL php extension to be installed). Together with the [url=http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?62,129244,129244#msg-129244]Mailing List Module[/url] this allows for two way integration with mailinglists. Version 2.x because its mostly a rewrite the of the old POP3Phorummail module with another mail parser- and connection library (EZ Components, included in the module, no PEAR libs are needed), additional support for IMAP and mail attachments. Additionally it fixes an issue when multiple phorums are bound to one maillist and the phorums would miss each others messages. [quote=README] [b]Requirements:[/b] ------------- - PHP5 install with at least mysql/mysqli, iconv, SPL - which are usually bundled with PHP by default - Phorum-5.2.x install (tested only on 5.2.13) - shell / cronjob access to setup a scheduled task to run this module, raw shell access is only needed during testing [/quote] [quote=README] Installation instructions: -------------------------- - Unpack the archive; - Move the directory "ext_phorummail" to the directory "mods" within your Phorum installation; - Login as administrator in Phorum's administrative interface and go to the "Modules" section; - Enable the module "External Phorummail". - Go to the settings page of the External Phorummail module to configure from which mailservers and to which phorums it should import mail. - Setup a cronjob to run scheduled tasks for example like this (would run the tasks every 5 minutes): */5 * * * * cd /home/your/phorum/directory && /usr/bin/php ./script.php --scheduled > /dev/null I recommend to run the script by hand until everything is working correctly, e.g with this command-line cd /home/your/phorum/directory && /usr/bin/php ./script.php --scheduled [/quote] Example install [url=http://www.serverphorums.com/index.php]ServerPhorums.com[/url].

Basically I added much of the functionality that was in the Mail2forum module that I used to use in conjunction with PHPBB. I needed this functionality to be able to use it in production on my new Phorum site. Here's what I put in the Changelog (BTW EPM is shorthand for External Phorummail)

2017-01-21 v 2.2.0 W. Curtis Preston
- Made the following (formerly default) actions now optional
- Notify unregistered users if blocked
- Delete emails after import
- Added ability to add signature to all posts created by EPM
- Added ability to specify blank subject text if you get an email w/no subject
- Added ability to test Email connection right in settings page
- Added ability to strip list of strings from email's subject before posting
- Added ability to use data on incoming email as post time
- Added ability to ignore email if doesn't contain specified email
- Added ability to strip/replace strings in subject or body of incoming emails
- Added ability to block emails based on strings in subject or body address in To: or CC: fields
- Added ability to change order that strip/replace & block filters get run

Anybody want to test? I also have a new version of Mailinglist as well.]]> wcpreston v5/v6 Modules/Add-Ons Tue, 24 Jan 2017 22:03:27 -0600 https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?62,140380,156477#msg-156477 Re: Module: External Phorummail https://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?62,140380,156477#msg-156477

I'm running Phorum separately, if I understand your question. That is, in sub-root folder such as: home/phorum.
It runs in a shared hosting environment, for example, I also run wordpress as home/wordpress.

Module running: Mailinglist (version 1.6.0 BETA), in addition to some of the default module that came when installing - see attached image.

My host didn't have ezcomponents installed, which they did.

Though the error persists. According to my host there's a known bug (e.g. [issues.civicrm.org]).

But as I'm on shared hosting, it's beyond their support scope to fix it.

I'm really disappointed - wondering if there alternatives to this module?

I'm testing out the Ext Phorummail module.

When I run the cron script, the following error occurs for when using IMAP:

Fatal error: Class 'ezcMailImapTransport' not found in /home/.../public_html/discuss/mods/ext_phorummail/ext_phorummail.php on line 115

And a similar error occurs with pop3.

Any advice?

you need to use php-cli not just php which invokes the cgi version.

Now I'm trying to get the module working but I don't understand how to pass emails out of phorum so the user can respond.

I think I could use the mailing list module but I don't want to go to a listserve, I just want subscribers to the thread to get the message by email and be able to respond to it from their email.
