fix mail2forum and rss2forum
unworking since refactor.
@landseer @hvorragend @ccandreva @phaidon @Guite does anyone know what is the purpose of these two files? I need some help understanding what they are intended to do so I can make it work in the new version. or maybe someone wants to help? :grinning:
mail2forum: get an e-mail and create a forum topic from it rss2forum: read a rss source and create topics from it
used in former times to create forum topics on the German site from eg. commit notes when the project used SVN.

Thanks for your answer. Are you saying that these functions may no longer be wanted?
note to self: due to refactoring, this may require a new column for extsource in the Forum entity.
Hi! Mail-To-Forum is a great feature, which should continue with the new version of Dizkus. For example i need it to receive news and show them in a center-block or side-block. Also you can use it for communities to send an email in copy to this Forum, whitout to write the content again. Please develope it further!
@Knollo - thanks for responding. Do you have a site where this is in use that I could see? Also, you mention "receive news" - do you mean from your own site or another?
I do not use this functions.
I used mail2forum years ago while migrating from an email listserv over to a Dizkus forum. I was able to route all the emails that were still going to the listserv on to a forum at Dizkus. Worked ok as I recall but all the emails had to go to the same topic I believe.
I used it on a community site to let people post by e-mail and to archive external mailing lists at the site. It worked well but I had to migrate to a version that did not support it anymore. Would like to see it again.
