Mailist list server5/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Nobody can check the Tiki Forum without Tiki first processing the email list for new entries. So any Forum visitor will see the latest posts - whether from a web-based Forum posting or via email in the Mailing List. Tiki checks the incoming email account and processes all pending emails each time the forum is accessed in a browser. Transparency of Mailing List and Tiki Forum So Tiki registered users can use email to read, write and respond to posts and it appears as if they did everything via the web-based forum directly. Otherwise, unrecognized From: email addresses (or Forum users not logged in when posting) will appear as Anonymous. If the From: email address is the same as one of Tiki's registered users, then the forum post of that incoming email will show as coming from that registered Tiki user. An email coming into the Tiki Forum from the Mailing List will be scanned. The From: email address will be the same for all users posting as detailed above. Tiki Registered Users and Mailing List SubscribersĪ registered Tiki user who makes a post using the web-based Forum will appear in the Mailing List message with their Tiki user name. Password: (the password for that email account). This email address should be subscribed in the mailing list and receive messages individually (no digesting). No one should ever login to this account except Tiki. The mail server, user and password of a POP3 account that is solely for retrieving email from the mailing list into the Tiki forum. " Add messages from this email to the forum" All Tiki forum posts come from this same email address. Unfortunately, web-based forum posts cannot simply be sent as if coming from the Tiki registered user account (that is, the registered users email). ![]() So the email address should be subscribed to the mailing list if closed. Note: this email address must be able to submit to the mailing list. In this example, we are using: If meant to be a real address, you may need to use your Tiki mail servers domain (if different). An account for this email address does not have to exist but SPAM processing may block the message if the domain or account of this From: address cannot be validated. That is, web-originated posts in the Tiki Forum generate an email from this address to the outbound email address given earlier. This is the From: email address that a Forum post will be sent from. But some Tiki registered users may want this option to more easily use the Tiki forum to compose their reply instead of the email program. Generally not needed if your mailing list software has Reply-To: processing setup as desired and people prefer to use their mail reader to reply to messages. If checked, emails sent to the mailing list from the forum will include a web link to make it easy to post a reply using the forum web interface in Tiki. When checked, will cause any post to the forum, whether via the web or from inbound email, to be posted back to the outbound email address. If you enable this option, you will likely generate an undesired loop. " Send mails even when the post is generated by inbound mail" Emails sent to that email address are sent from the Tiki Admin email account in link format and will cause a duplicate message back in the forum. Tip: Do not associate the Tiki Forum option " Send this forums posts to this email" with this mailing list in any way. ![]()
