Hello - I've gotten FUDforum2 to work with a mailing list so that I can post either to the forum or to the list and have the messages show up properly.

In order to do this, all forum files must be unlocked, as it says in big red letters on the Mailing List Manager page. If I lock the files, forum posts go to the mailing list but not vice versa.

Is it a security risk to leave the files unlocked? If so, is there a limited set of files I can copy to another location and lock the rest of the forum files?

Thanks,
Hari Nair

On a secure server there is little harm (if any) to leave the files unlocked. Otherwise, in ideal situation you'd have the files locked.
