Posts Fail To Assign Correct Category Options

[Knerkin]

I have set up 4 separate "users" by assigning unique filter e-mail addresses, designating unique categories for each, and using the same inbound e-mail address for all four. Each also has a unique author name.

When Post-by-E-Mail processes inbound messages, they fail to be assigned the designated category or author, receiving instead another category assigned to another user.

Need I use unique inbound e-mail addresses for each "user"?

Hello, Knerkin.

In short, yes.

A few months ago we had a similar problem with another user. She had five different e-mail addresses, hosted by a single service provider. Each address has been assigned to a different PBE entry. When importing the PBE entries, the messages in all the e-mail boxes were imported in the first PBE entry's category.

The reason was, that though the e-mail boxes had different names, the mail server of the service provider returned all the messages (in all the boxes) when PBE was importing only the first one.

Best regards,

Ivan

It appears, then, that your filtering doesn't work, since it appears to be insensitive to the "include" From: content within each e-mail message.

How, then, can this extension ever work for more than one originator?

In the instance I reported about, there was only ONE message imported, and it ended up in the incorrect category, authored by the incorrect member.

It does NOT work as advertised.

In the case you cite, perhaps I don't understand fully what you're saying. You state that she had 5 different e-mail addresses, but your import fetched e-mail from all 5 when requesting the first. How can this be, since they are different e-mail accounts.

I'm sure we can work this out.

Our component relies on the pop3 class to connect and retrieve the messages, associated (only) with the account details, provided by you in the PBE entry settings.

In the case I was talking about, using the account credentials for one of the e-mails, the pop3 class was given access to all the e-mail boxes and the messages within them. It has something to do with the e-mail server settings and nothing to do with our component.

Let's get back to a case I experienced. ONE e-mail was received. The sender was disallowed. However, the message ended up assigned a category and author. The following cron output was created by the SINGLE disallowed email.

adrian@xxxxxxx.com: This e-mail is not allowed to publish content (Sender Filter). The content is ignored.

1 emails were imported (Curt Akin) in 0 seconds.
1 emails were imported (James Herman) in 0 seconds.
0 emails were imported (Adrian Kuzminski ) in 0 seconds.
0 emails were imported (Robert Seward) in 0 seconds.

The message should read "processed" instead of "imported" as this number is exactly the number of processed messages (not the imported ones).

Does the message gets actually imported? Is there an article created?

If yes, I will need admin & FTP access to your site in order to investigate what is happening.

[Knerkin]

OK, it should read "processed" but, note that TWO "processed" appear for one disallowed message. And, yes, the article was created.

Give me instructions as to where to send admin and FTP access info.

Here is an additional result from a single message:

adrian@xxxxxxx.com: This e-mail is not allowed to publish content (Sender Filter). The content is ignored.
adrian@xxxxxxx.com: This e-mail is not allowed to publish content (Sender Filter). The content is ignored.

1 emails were imported (Curt Akin) in 0 seconds.
1 emails were imported (James Herman) in 0 seconds.
1 emails were imported (Adrian Kuzminski ) in 0 seconds.
0 emails were imported (Robert Seward) in 0 seconds.

That e-mail address IS allowed. It ended up in the proper category by the correct author. The results of processing incoming messages seems unstable.

[Knerkin]

arakawarobert@xxxxxxxx.com: This e-mail is not allowed to publish content (Sender Filter). The content is ignored.
arakawarobert@xxxxxxxx.com: This e-mail is not allowed to publish content (Sender Filter). The content is ignored.
arakawarobert@xxxxxxxx.com: This e-mail is not allowed to publish content (Sender Filter). The content is ignored.

1 emails were imported (Curt Akin) in 0 seconds.
1 emails were imported (James Herman) in 0 seconds.
1 emails were imported (Adrian Kuzminski ) in 0 seconds.
1 emails were imported (Robert Seward) in 0 seconds.

The above was produced by cron's processing of the 4th person on the list of alloweds. It was given both the proper author and category.

It appears as if the extension correctly disallows in the first 3 persons, correctly processes it in the correct list, but incorrectly reports that the email was imported in the first 3.

Have you lost interest in this problem?

Most recent:

jamesherman@xxxxxxxx.com: This e-mail is not allowed to publish content (Sender Filter). The content is ignored.

1 emails were imported (Curt Akin) in 0 seconds.
1 emails were imported (James Herman) in 0 seconds.
0 emails were imported (Adrian Kuzminski ) in 0 seconds.
0 emails were imported (Robert Seward) in 0 seconds.

This e-mail WAS posted (contrary to the "ignored"). It was assigned the correct category but the incorrect author.

And, this cron output was produced by ONE e-mail.
