What does the shebang line look like and what flavor of *nix are you running?
IMAP is fine, its just not "instantaneous" so to speak.
The missing key is the "other" error I referred to above, a little bug introduced in 1.1.3, that we can fix and get you going!

I think I might just stick with IMAP if it's easily doable-- what's the fix?

Thanks, this seems to work so far. However, one more issue has come up: I'm getting a "Key Expired" message if I try to reply to a given message more than once. (I've set the key expiration setting to 90 days or something like that in the settings.)

Looking at the code you can only reply to the post once via email until another email is generated by someone else replying. If that makes sense.

Correct ... they are use once keys to prevent spamming.
The key expired means that at least its a legit key, user and topic/message are legit ... so you the admin can still approve it. I don't see that happen to often but it does happen.

I guess the issue is that if multiple people respond simultaneously to a new topic then it won't work. This seems to happen to fairly frequently on our listserv, so I'm not sure if this is going to work...

Its unique to each specific user ... not to the message. So if 100 users "subscribe" each can reply to the original message w/o any issue.

Ah, ok, I see...
One more thing -- and I'm so sorry to keep bugging you about all this!
I've tried replying by email with a file attachment and the attachments gets posted to the forum but gets attached to the wrong reply (see screenshot, the PDF file 'billing units' is supposed to be attached to the last reply.) The attachment doesn't seem to make it through by email.
Any suggestions? Known bug?

I'll have to check the attachment code, that sounds like a bug.

While you're at it... Are attachments supposed to be forwarded to people who are subscribed to a topic?
(Thanks, I owe you guys if this all does work out for us!)

If I recall correctly, it will only report that there are attachments and provide the link, I don't think it includes them in the outbound notification.
