I'm returning to FUDForum after a couple years away, and I'm impressed at the progress that has been made on it since the 2.x version I originally was trying to set up. But I'm stymied by an issue right now.
We have a Mailman list that I'm trying to synchronize with FUDForum. I currently have a phpBB2 board doing this, but the forum software is so outdated with phpBB2, I'm tired of maintaining it and dealing with spammers on the board. So, I'm trying to go back to FUDForum. The importation is working fine with an IMAP mailbox that is a member on the Mailman list, but posts directly on the FUDForum board are not going back to the Mailman list. I can't get any error messages, and the cron job is importing correctly. Do I need to schedule a cron job of some kind to run an out-going mail, too, or does the option to synchronize to the mailing list take care of that? If so, it's not working, and I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated!

That's where I started--a simple sendmail script. That wasn't working, so that's what led me to the issue ultimately. Since others may have it and others may have solved it, I'll describe it a bit. My email is handled through Google Apps, so I have a different MX record for incoming and outgoing mail than my web provider uses. So, when sendmail tries to send, it fails because it is looking for the internal mail function not Google Apps. I don't have access to the hosts file to edit that, so the web provider did a custom php.ini for the sendmail function. It's still not working the way it should, though, so I'm continuing to troubleshoot. I am able to send with the simple sendmail script now, but FUDForum is still not sending correctly. I'll keep plugging away, though.
I have tried setting up the SMTP server, too, in FUDForum, but that's not doing anything, at least with the mailing list manager synchronizing to the Mailman list. I haven't seen if it's sending email otherwise.
Does that make sense?
