I noticed that the forum files have to be unlocked to use the mailing list gateway feature. I would much rather not leave the entire site unlocked. Can someone tell me what perms to set after locking the system to still allow the mailing list gateway to function?

Well, in all actually there are just 3 things that need to be 'unlocked'.
1) The msg file, where the message bodies are stored
2) The import script itself, needs to be word readable & executable as all the includes it uses need to be world readable (a fairly large number of them).
3) The directory where file attachments are stored.

Is there just one message file maintained in $MSG_STORE_DIR? I see two files in there, msg_1 and private.

I don't suppose someone else has already attempted this and has a list of those includes handy, eh?

Is this is all that is required to be unlocked for sendmail to pipe the messages in?

The 'private' file is for storing private messages, so for your purposes it is irrelevant.
Well, you can get this list very easily, simply add var_dump(get_included_files()); at the bottom of the script, it'll show you the list of all the files used by the import script. Then it is just a simple matter of making those files accessible and making the msg_1 writeable.

I got it working - just chown root:root chmod 444 all of the includes and GLOBALS.php.

Next question Smile Heh heh.

Where should I look in the code to modify the "lock/unlock" feature to lock everything but minimal settings for mailing list gateway? Can you point me in the right direction?
