reply by email thinks admin account don't have permission
June 10, 2016, 08:44:36 am
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.

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.

You are correct Sir. That fixed the problem. Thanks!
