    New bbmailposter Module Added To CVS Head

    thorntond Nov 3, 2004 8:20 PM

      I've added the bbmailposter module to CVS head. This is a replacement for the jbmail module so jbmail can now be deprecated. The module was renamed because jbmail implies the module has something to do with jboss mail which it does not.
      The bbmailposter module will get e-mail from a pop3 account and post it to the message forums. There are rules of course about what email it will post to the message forums.
      The bbmailposter module uses the mail account that is configured in the mail-service.xml file in the deploy directory.

      BEFORE USING BBMAILPOSTER, MAKE SURE THE MAIL ACCOUNT CONFIGURED IN MAIL-SERVICE.XML IS SOLELY USED BY NUKES.

      If the bbmailposter module is deployed it will process and get rid of all messages in the pop mail account configured in mail-service.xml. This might not be good for a personal email account.

      The jboss-service.xml file for the bbmailposter has the following attributes: This file will need to be set with your prefences before bbmailposter is deployed.

      1200

      False

      False

      False





      False

      There are currently three levels of email verification for the bbforumposter module.

      The first level of verification is by member e-mail address only. This does not prevent e-mail address spoofing or virus spamming from a user. This is the easiest to get going with.

      The second level is a reply hashing scheme. This provides security on replies but not newly posted email messages. Also the mail server has to be configured so all e-mail of the form x-y@yourdomain.com goes to a single email account. The x and the y are message and user ids that are different for every e-mailed forum message.

      The third level is digital signature verification. This has not been implemented yet.

      I could also do a wiki on how to use bbmailposter if someone wants it.
