v1.8

Update:
Went back to version 1.7.0 and all is good again.

Please advise if/when updates/corrections are ready. Glad to beta test.

thanks for all you do Wayne.

Did you try changing the connection setting to cURL?

It would be helpful if you clicked the Test Config button and posted the results.

Thanks for the offer to test, but 1.8 has been in beta for several months which is why I released.

Yes, I tried Curl

I did do “test config”, didn’t give me anything useful, same results as debug but in hindsight wish I would have saved them.

I actually went back to 1.7.30 (typo above, not that it matters) and that works fine.
I’ll see if others have the same issue as me with v1.8, If not I’ll reinstall v1.8 and do further testing, but I spent a fair amount of time with the obvious stuff this morning.

Thanks Wayne, you are appreciated,

RJ

Please post your test config in any case. The info displayed is more about your general environment.

Unable to connect. The server said:

If you change the connection to cURL do you get a different error message?

Well unfortunatley I can’t test curl.

Warning! Postie requires cURL 7.30.0 or newer be installed. 7.19.7 is installed.

Wayne if you think cURL is the answer I’ll look into updating.

I’m guessing you have a custom version of PHP that doesn’t have curl or socket support compiled in. Is that correct?

I don’t think so Wayne. I don’t believe it’s a custom version.

I’m going to upgrade cURL and see what happens.

You may just need to install PHP curl support.

$ sudo apt-get install php5-curl

update
* upgraded CURL to 7.50.3. I

Continued to get error with “Socket”

***But, does now connect to server and download with cURL***
!!Yay!!

–>**BUT** nothing is posting because:
postie_get_mail: switching to html
No ‘from’ header found

No ‘from’ header (and yes I’ve sent from various accounts) so postie doesn’t post and sends Admin the note that the email was returned. Of course the original sender does not get the not because postie doesn’t know where it came from.

v1.8.x May not be for me,

I skipped a Rev, is there a place to retrieve v1.7.32?? I’d be appreciative.

The previous version is available here: https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/postie.1.7.32.zip

Can you send a sample email to [email protected] so I can see what is happening?

Thanks Wayne. 1.7.32 installed and working grand.

Not sure what is going on with me and 1.8.x glad to test things if you’d like.

Thanks for all you do,

EDIT:
OH and I forgot to say sample sent.

One last request.

Reinstall 1.8.5

Click the debug button
Send the output to [email protected]

I may have found the issue. Are you using POP3-SSL?
