I'm stupid... really stupid. Just so there are no illusions here. So if you undertake to help me fix this problem please remember that I have the intellect of an 11 year old. No scratch that make me six.
I installed the forum, I created the topics, I linked the email accounts (after I created them), I set the mailserver to the proper domain.
but I don't know how to make the rest of it work (how to make the forum go get the emails off the mail server), the manual says having a procmail utility... I'm assuming that I don't. I saw the sample script for the procmail process, but I don't know how to implement it or where to find the utility that I would need to make it work.
the forum is located at www.godshosts.net/fudforum/index.php
I have set up a general admin account for anyone who wants to try fixing it, just contact me.
Thanks in advance.
hey... I'm drawin a blank on this one...

Having an admin account is not going to allow anyone to help you. Basically what you need to do is via an external utility make any e-mail that goes to the addresses you've created by piped to the forum's maillist.php script.
This can be done in any number of ways, the one I prefer happens to be procmail, but if you search the archives on this forum you will find a variety of different implementations that also work.

It should work the same way... Just make sure you are using the latest version of EgroupWare. I have not tried it on windows myself, since I don't have a windows development environment, but the code should work fine in it non the less.

You write a utility that would pipe the messages to this script, this script would that take that data and import the message into the forum.

Not being a programmer - I have no idea how to do this.
