reply by email thinks admin account don't have permission

Hi,

I got the post by email feature setup using IMAP and it seems to work except that emails get rejected.

Using the admin account I replied to a topic but got:
"Failure Reason: The poster does not have post by email permissions on this board"

How is that possible? Shouldn't the admin account have all permissions? Also I enabled the permission for the regular user group.

Thats a bug that I fixed in 1.1, and should be backported to 1.0.8

In /controllers/Emailpost.controller.php
Code: (find) [Select]
	// Validate they have permission to reply
	$becomesApproved = true;
	if (!in_array('postby_email', $pbe['user_info']['permissions']))

Code: (replace) [Select]
	// Validate they have permission to reply
	$becomesApproved = true;
	if (!in_array('postby_email', $pbe['user_info']['permissions']) && !$pbe['user_info']['admin'])

OK... I put your fix manually but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I tried again with same result.

That is the only line that I know of that would generate that specific error, and the edit would bypass the check for an admin user.

There is a similar line in the function pbe_create_topic  but be sure to edit the one in the function pbe_create_post (its the only one with the comment I provided).

Does it work from a "normal" user that has permissions and just an admin user has a problem?

Just confirmed that it works from a normal user. Checked again that admin user doesn't work.

Maybe is:
Code: [Select]
$pbe['user_info']['is_admin']
just a wild guess based on the usual way $user_info is filled. :)
