Hi!

I've followed the threads on using procmail with Fudforum to manage mailing lists on the forum. I've been careful to readn and try to debug my own errors and I think I'm close at this point and I'm seeking any assistance. I have the following:

1. I have a .qmail file:
| /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/procmail -t /home/vpopmail/.procmailrc

2. I have a .procmailrc file (for a local user on the list fud)
Procmailrc:
TESTDIR=/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.net/fud
MAILDIR=${TESTDIR}/Maildir
LOGFILE=${TESTDIR}/Proctest.log
LOG="--- Logging for ${LOGNAME}, "
VERBOSE=yes

:0:
* ^TO_.*test(at)domain(dot)net
{
EXITCODE=99
:0
|/usr/bin/php /var/www/domain/files/fudforum/3814588639/scripts/maillist.php 2
}

And when I send mail, My Logfile gives the output:
procmail: Match on "(^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-Envelope|Apparently(-Resent)?)-To) Sad

.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?).*test(at)domain(dot)net"
procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored
procmail: Locking ".lock"
procmail: Unlocking ".lock"
procmail: Assigning "EXITCODE=99"
procmail: Executing " /usr/bin/php,/var/www/domain/files/fudforum/3814588639/scripts/maillist.php ,2 "
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/bin/php /var/www/domain/files/fudforum/3814588639/scripts/maillist.php 2"

Subject: Re: it is now 19 Hundred Hours
Folder: /usr/bin/php /var/www/qbabes/files/fudforum/3814588639/scrip 1958

My Forums are UNLOCKED since i get a nice red block of letters warning me that it's so. However, nothing still is being posted from mail to Forum. I am getting posts from Forum to Mail though which means that the list can send messages.

I'm also wondering if that last line in my log with the word scrip cut off at the end indicates anything.

Any ideas from anyone familiar with this scenario?

Thanks...I've been trying to read before post so I am kindly seeking any help!

Hi all:

After continuous debugging I found that my GLOBALS.PHP file which referenced the egw in my maillist.php was corrupted. I corrected the errors and ran a test of the php file:

cat test.note | /var/www/domain/files/fudforum/3814588639/scripts/maillist.php 1

No errors occured, but nothing's still posting and I'm wondering if I need to reinstall groupware.

Will continue testing.
T.

Did you unlock the forum's file via the admin lock/unlock control panel explicitly or just followed the red text? You may want to try unlocking the files again.
Also check the forum's error log via the log viewer control panel.

Hi!

You know..that part has been bugging me. When I click the Forum menu for: Lock/Unlock Forum's Files, I get the following notice on the right page:

The forum's files appear to be: UNLOCKED.

If this test claims that the forum is unlocked, but you still cannot modify your files click on the "Unlock Files" button.

For security reasons remember to lock your forum's files after you are done editing them.

I click the Unlock files button, without entering a password for my user name listed and I get same page. I guess I can't confirm whether I've done a proper job of unlocking the Forum files or not.

Question: Am I supposed to Unlock with a username + password?
Question: When I try to "LOCK", I get the same page, so where can I debug proper locking and unlocking?

Thanks so much for the quick follow-up!
Cheers,
Up

You are supposed to provide both the login & password for the admin account.

Hi Ilya:

Thank you very much for your quick response. I see that you get a lot of the same questions sometimes and I apologize. I actually took some time to check through the threads here and I forgot to mention a few things.

1. I'm running FudForum in Egroupware 1.0.0.007 which I think does not yet have a fully updated version of Fudforum.

From what I read, it seems that the lower version port of Fudforum still in eGroupware may contain bugs and fixes that affect mailing list functionality. Is this correct?

As per your instructions, I tried using a username and password of the administrator to lock the files in my eGw version and the page keeps reloading saying that the files were unlocked. Are there permissions that I can check to make sure the admlock.php script works properly? Alos, my Error Log entries in the control panel are empty.

I have another site to take online into a forum site so I will download the most stable version and try to get mailing list functionality working.

Cheers,
Up
