i have an old mbox mail archive i want to import into FUD. i've managed to get it to work using:

cat /home/user/old.mbox | formail -s php -f /path/to/maillist.php 1

however, i'd like to change it so that the dates of the post reflect the actual date in the mbox.

is this possible?

thanks in advance

Wait for 2.5.0 release, it will support the feature allowing reading of dates from messages directly rather then taking the current time.

Hi,

I *LOVE* FUD Forum - what a beautiful system. I have just installed FUDforum 2.3.8 and am testing it now for my site. I want to move all my list archives onto it.

As per the suggestion above, I just tried this:

cat /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/test.mbox/test.mbox | formail -s php -f maillist.php 1

Posts are being imported but the dates for all posts are still appearing as 5 June. Is this something we can fix?

Cheers,

Tobias

In 2.3.8 when importing message the time of the message is always the 'current time'. This is fixed in 2.5.0RCs, but unless you are starting a new forum, I would not recommend upgrading to 2.5.0RC4 just yet.

I am indeed starting a new forum - this is my first time with FUD. What do you recommend? Currently I'm using the version available on the fud.prohost.org website.

Best,

Tobias

If you are starting a new forum 2.5.0RC4 should be a reasonably safe choice.
