hi,
i'm using the fudforum 2.7.3 and i have a problem with the mailing list feature.
i receive messages and forward them to the mailing list script without errors in the procmail log, but they don't appear in the forum.
i tested via the cat command and this message is in the forum. but when i send a message it disappears.
any help is welcome - thanx

In the mailing list control panel there is an option called "Moderate Mailing List Posts" is it set to Yes or No? If it is set to yes, change it to no.
Also check the message database to see if you can spot the messages from the import.

It looks to me that it IS executing the PHP script, since procmail claims there was a match. Have you tried the checking the forum's database for messages?
Also have you tried doing:
cat message | /usr/bin/php -q /mypath/fud/scripts/maillist.php 1
and seeing if the message gets imported?
If you have php error logging enabled see if any errors are present there and if you don't have it enabled, enable the PHP error log.

I think the problem are permissions, go to the forum's admin control panel, "Lock/Unlock Forum's Files" and unlock the forum's files.

You can change the permissions to be more secure, but you need to make sure that files are readable and the messages/ directory and the files within it are writable.
Permissions such as 751 for directories and 644 for files would be workable.

I have the same issue, and Unlocking the Forums Files and chmodding the directories to 777 doesn't work for me.
I have a temporary solution which was to create a mailbox, and use the popfud.php code hack to read the mailbox and pipe the messages into the forum, automated with crontab.
What is so bizarre is that it uses the same script as the Procmail solution, maillist.php, so its not a script problem. If I catch an email and use CAT I can post the email to the forum. and I have added 18000+ emails using FUDBOX.php hack to pipe an MBOX archive into the forum using that same maillist.php.
Stuffed if I know, and as I haven't yet managed to compile a working local version of php5 (or 4!) I can't enable error reporting adn logging on my site. Still I have a solution, and when I can spend some time to investigate on the test site I'm sure that I will find the answer.
