intpcentral.com email address

[file cabinet]

available as...
- users can signup for the email address after making 10 posts ?
- webmail (squirrelmail/horde/neomail ?)
- pop3
- imap

don't know what heeroyuy was planning but I figured I would initiate this thread to stir up specs

edit[0]:
- banned users will have their email account permanently suspended
- SSL support
- email storage on server will be something small like 5 - 10mb ?

Ohh... I could *really* use a POP3 mailbox - no other of my accounts can be accessed by Kmail (to my knowlege). But I'd also put in a check - Universal made more than ten posts, and would you want a troll with a username@intpcentral.com email address? It would give the site some bad press, and would put other INTP's off from joining.

Yup yup, I'll second that. Some sort of a check might be useful.

Umm, question. Is the email going to happen? Cause it seems that the rest of the members are not interested.

[heeroyuy]

Yea, we can definetly have SSL, I'm going to get a cert signed pretty soon. I'll post more info later.

[heeroyuy]

Required 10 or 20 post minimum, something like that to be sure you're not a bot. Moderators/Administrators will be able to request people have their 'right' to have an account suspended (such as if a member is a spammer, they can go into their account prefs and set a flag to disable it).

Another option we might consider is having a reputation type thing in the forums, and as that increases you get more features. Hence people are rewarded for posting informative, insightful, funny, (does this sound like a slashdot mod cp yet :)) and cool types of things.

Stats:
SSL (which we technically already have, just not a signed cert...https://intpcentral.com)
Mail fowarding (to another account)
5-20mb mailbox
SMTP (with authentication or pop before smtp)
Pop
Imap
Squirrelmail webmail or something such as this
...other ideas?

This will probably not end up getting setup until around new years or even late january, so no rush :)

Thanks for starting the thread filecabinet, I've been so busy lately I don't have as much time to set this stuff up as I wish.

That sounds like a lot of work for you guys - setting up accounts and monitoring everyone, dealing with requests for feature upgrades and deciding whether or not they deserve it.

I would make the number a lot higher than 10 or 20. A higher number might mean that they have weathered a few storms and a few people at least agree with them, otherwise they wouldn't have stuck around.

I am thinking like 100 or 200 posts. Not too hard to get, but it shows some definite interest in the forum...enough that you would consider getting or giving an email address. Also might mean less work for you guys.

That would be cool. I agree that the post number should be high.

[heeroyuy]

Yea, high post count like 50-100.

As far as workload goes, shouldn't be too terrible, just a queue extension to the labs system where you request an account, we grant it, and once a week I grab some lemonade, crank the trance, and just add accounts :)

[EternalCynic]

Very cool :), I'd love to have en intpcentral email account. *Looks forward to it*

[heeroyuy]

Cool, then sign up at labs http://www.intpcentral.com/labs for the new personal email project. :)

[heeroyuy]

I have the initial setup configured, and have last minute testing. I'm now accepting any applications for accounts via signing up for the labs project with any members in good standing (>100 posts). I'll select 'round 20 or 30 more to use as a final test group for everything.

Currently Supported:
-Webmail (SSL available)
-SMTP
-POP3
-IMAP
-No Quotas (No, I'm not shitting you :), just don't exceed a gig or two or we might have to talk after awhile)
-SSL

I have escaped quotas by running mail on another box using several mail partitions (I'm using cyrus imapd). All of this is backed up incrementally nightly, fully weekly.

Questions, comments, complaints, free casual noncommital sex, or anything else may be directed in my own direction. (Yes, I'm kidding on the sex part, I don't want some sicko (Admit it, I'm a sicko, you're a sicko, we're all sickos...) chasing me about).

[cloakable]

Umm... you are aware that the Labs login asks for the persons Usrename, are you? Just thought I'd point that out.

[heeroyuy]

Yea, I'm aware, it links into the forums system, read the intro :)

[heeroyuy]

Alright, we're in release phase, I'm making a new thread.
