mail2og seems to interfere with mail2web

Description

I just discovered that mail2web wasn't working on my site when mail2og was turned on.. when I turned mail2og off it started working again.

I'm not sure what you have in mind in terms of maintaining threaded discussions via mail2og - but I think they are quite important. The way I thought it was going to work is that people can start new topics via mail2og by writing to group_name@foo.com and then discuss them via mail2web by hitting "reply" when they get a notification from eg post@foo.com.

Cheers,

Tobias

can you provide more information on what isn't working- are there any log entries, etc?

Hi Arthur -

Thanks for the quick reply. There are no log entries - it just quietly fails to post the comment to the post. When I turn mail2og module on, mail2web doesn't post comments. when I turn mail2og off again, it works.

I just realized I'm running an older version of mail2web (6.x-1.0-beta2) - I will upgrade it to beta3 and see if that fixes it.

Thanks again,

Tobias

I don't use mail2web, so I'm not really familar with it. My hunch is maybe mail2og thinks that the reply is going to a group. Can you forward me one of the mail2web emails and I'll add some logging to mail2og ?

Just found this issue after running into the same problem as Tobias. What information can we provide to help you track down the underlying issue? You mentioned forwarding you a mail2web email, but I'm not sure if you meant to post it here to the queue, or if you wanted us to actually send it to your email...

thanks!

Hi Arthur -

Let me know how you're getting on with this (and the other issues I posted last week or so) and how I can help. I'm eager to get this production ready and standing by to help as proactively as I can.

Thanks!

I am in the same category: mail2web and mail to OG do not play well together. How might I assist in the testing?

I am not sure this is still a problem for me currently - I am able to post as user 1 but not any other user.. even with mail2web is installed. See http://drupal.org/node/585658

whoops - sorry for confusion, but yes indeed there is still a conflict between these two modules. When mail2og is turned on, mail2web does not handle mail.

I have a client request to fix. If anyone has further info, or has this set up in a running dev environment with a debugger, feel free to contact me or post; else I'll be going it on my own...

Hi K - How are you getting on with this? I am eager to offer this functionality on my site and would be happy to help with debugging.

Cheers,

Tobias
