Hi,. I've just updated to latest CVS and my mailproc program has stopped working. In the mailproc.ini it says at the bottom

[emailstamp.js]
native=

My emailstamp.js is below. Basically, it adds a tag to all incoming mail
with my BBS QWK ID and the IP of the smtp server delivering the email.
It worked prior to update and I can't see anything wrong with it...
Is there an expert who can cast their eye upon it...

Is there any indication in your logs that your mail processor is running? Perhaps you can paste a port of your mail server log when receiving an SMTP message?

It mean "file not found". The "system()" call means that it thinks the mail proc is native. Either set "native=false" or just remove that key (The default value is false).

The emailstamp.js is running and the mail is being posted to the bBs, but
the emailstamp.js is not appending any text to the message. As far as I can see it should work ok and the script is the same that was working in the previous version....Has anything changed?

A lot has changed in regards to external mail processing (I thought that was obvious?). :-)

But it should work of course. I'll do some testing here and double-check, but in the mena-time, adding some log() lines to your script might help track down the problem.

The example (exec/mailproc_example.js) still appears to work with v3.12a, so I'm curious as to what the problem is with your mail processor.

I also was unable to reproduce any scenario where the "native" property was set to true (unless I specifically set it to "1"/"true").

I've just settled down in front of the PC for a hour of debugging the emailstamp problem. Though, I'd sent it another test to see what happens,
and its started working again.

No idea how or why, it definately was broken yesterday. anyway I will keep
an eye on it and see what happens!

I did find a bug with multiple simultaneous SMTP receive threads and external mail processing. It's been fixed in CVS for the next release. Perhaps this was the cause.
