Ok, let's start then: 1) We need to be able to connect to POP server and read the new messages, and mark them as red. I will setup test email for development, um probably not on the corporate one, got too much spam there already. _____ From: Imran K [mailto:gururug at gmail dot com] Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 7:51 AM To: Alex M Subject: Re: [m0n0wall-dev] RE: [Forged Sender] RE: [m0n0wall] Re: why dont we have forum? I can help (with php/sql) not stong in perl but can take a look? Would say my skills are intermediate but i like a challenge.

I can do the engine to sinc the emails from POP server to DB, and reverse sinc form submit events with emails. (sure mail() function + some way to find out if that is a rely so we can do the proper topics follow up) Did anyone ever worked with PEAR? I believe that's the only class that can allow me POP server access. -----Original Message----- From: David Kitchens [mailto:spider at webweaver dot com] Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2007 1:29 AM To: 'Alex M'; 'Monowall Support List' Subject: RE: [Forged Sender] RE: [m0n0wall] Re: why dont we have forum? If I could program my way out of a corner, lol, I would be glad to help, I can read code and understand what it does but creating code is not my strong point. I will help with any testing or ideas if I can. Chris B, what forum are you planning to deploy? I will do any research that I can to help make this work, I've thought for a long time that it was a good idea but the author of megabbs didn't see it, he is one that doesn't like lists, lol.
