Post via email – solution?

  • Hi all.
    Has anyone resolved the error message in wp-mail.php, which should poll a POP3 server to download an entry? It goes like this:
    Ooops POP3: premature NOOP OK, NOT an RFC 1939 Compliant server
    My hosters, Gradwell.com, were suprised of the problem (they too use WP, but haven’t yet needed to use the Post By Email feature). I’m running RC1. Any ideas or suggestions welcome!
    Thanks
    Will

  • I am also seeing this error. What can we do to resolve this issue and can some one explain why it is happening.

    I hate to push this but… ??
    Is it an issue with my server or WP? Is there anything that I can do to adjust the code to accommodate what my server can do?

    Try changing the username from [email protected] to just example
    if you see what I mean.
    For me, it works on one mailserver, and on the other, it gives me the error described here.
    I think when a script tries to access the mailserver and the mailserver doesn’t like it/something’s wrong, this error is generated, but I am not absolutely sure

    yeah I get what you mean but the host that I am using does not use the same domain name for the smtp server as for my site so my domain has to be in the username.
    *wipes brow* darn run on sentences. heh

    Has anyone received a solid response from WP regarding this?

    Well I have not gotten an email and none other then us have responded to this question.

    I haven’t been able to recreate this problem. I suspect it’s something funky with the server. Do you have another POP3 account you could try it on?

    no I do not have another POP3 server to use.
    I’m just not familiar enough with the mail functions of PHP to give feedback on this intelligently. What kind of response is PHP expecting. Could you point me in the right direction? I’ll try to figure it out myself. I’ll talk to my hosting service. Though all the email that are sent from WP work.
    *shrug*

    To fix, edit wp-includes/class-pop3.php, and change this line:
    if($this->RFC1939) {
    to this:
    if(!$this->RFC1939) {
    (add exclamation point).

    so, i’ve done this, and I’m still getting the same POP3 error.
    any other ideas or solutions ?

    Just for the record..
    I had “Ooops POP3: premature NOOP OK, NOT an RFC 1939”
    and the resolution from digory fixed my problem.

    I had the same problem — “Ooops POP3: premature NOOP OK, NOT an RFC 1939” —

    and the solution from Digory fixed the problem.

    Digory’s modification worked for me also.

    My ISP recently did a fresh install of WP 1.5 for me.
    He ran into this darned “post by email” bug, just liek we did
    back when he first installed WordPress maybe a year or 18 months ago. When will this fix be rolled into production code? It looks liek there is one missing exclamation point?

    I got this same error, and tried digory’s solution to no avail…. I’m wondering… can I set up a pop 3 acct on my isp with name of the
    “postaccount”? it would be much easier to post via email…. a feature I was truly looking forward to utilitizing..
    My ISP doesn’t host my blog however..
