I cannot use procmail so I started with popfudx.php from this site.

The first problem was
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ses_get() in ..../FUDforum/include/theme/default/users.inc on line 581
which I eventually tracked down to a missing include in maillist.php which was easily solved as follows:
FILE FUDforum/maillist.php
BEFORE fud_use('users.inc');
INSERT fud_use('cookies.inc');


Having done this, I could get mail files into FUDforum but still couldn't get popfudx to work so I wrote my own script to retrieve emails and pass them to maillist.php. Also there seems little point in running maillist.php as a separate cgi process (indeed if you are running php as an Apache module then this could cause some problems) rather than just including it, but some modifications are necessary to do this.

However, despite these problems I have now managed to get FUDforum working as an archive for my mailing lists and I am pretty pleased with the result.

Finally it should be possible with cPanel to direct mail straight to maillist.php (although there is no direct access to procmail, you can set up redirects) but I could not get this to work, possibly due to pathing problems. Has anyone had more success in a cPanel environment?

Your modifications are incorrect, the script should not need the two included files. The correct fix can be found here:

Yes that seems to work thanks. I did look for a fix on this forum but couldn't find it; now I have posted the error message the next person should have more luck with a search.

Can users.inc (or any other inclusions) be dropped from maillist.php?

Great forum by the way - I don't know why I have stuck with phpBB for so long Wink

All of the includes (other then the ones added by you) are needed.
