[SOLVED] Guest Disabled/Mail-Fail Message
I see this issue has also been raised elsewhere (in version 1.1.3), but if there was a fix it wasn't articulated.. and the issue persists in version 1.1.6.
My forum has guest viewing turned off and guest access to the boards set to deny. Now that Email posting is working, I discovered that the sender gets a "Mail-Fail" response. even though the emailed reply posts fine.
Reading the Emailpost.php file and seeing the global $ssi_guest_access; routine, I finally figured out that if guest access is not enabled for the board being replied to via email, a mail-fail message is generated back at the sender.
(Thinking I needed to keep the board permissions for guest set to deny to prevent unauthorized "guest posts" to those boards), I started to mess around with emailpost.php / SSI guest access routine thinking that might be the culprit, but alas, no joy -it's something/somewhere else..
Is there some way to suppress that response back to the sender in this situation? The posting works just fine, it's just sending a false error message.
(The mail-fail response message containing the explicit server path back to the emailpost.php file is a bit disconcerting, but I'll deal with that as a separate thang..)
