FN-FORUM: Wordpress email to blog

date posted 7th August 2004 21:06

Hi

just found and fixed a bug in the wp mail hack here:

http://blade.lansmash.com/index.php?p=39#comments

whereby a cron job where no mail was found would exit the POP3 server
badly and cause the mailbox to be locked.

in wp-mail.php, look for and replace so that the exit statement looks more
like this:

$count = $pop3->login(get_settings('mailserver_login'),
get_settings('mailserver_pass'));
if (0 == $count) {
$pop3->quit();
die(__('There does not seem to be any new mail.'));
}

This quits the POP3 before abruptly ending and appears to resolve the
locked inbox issue.

This might only apply to certain hosts, but it affected at least two of
mine.
