PM/email tracking Urgent help required

[powerhouse]

Is there a way or a mod that allows the admin to track or see the emails/pm that members are sending? I need a feature like this as I think one of our members is spamming/soliciting via email and/or pm's.

I am hoping it can be done on a per user basis rather than every email/pm sent through the forum. Any mod or solution would be appreciated

Currently there is no mod built to do this.

While there is no mod to do this, you can pull the information directly from your database:

Code: [Select]

USE %DATABASE%
SELECT *
FROM [color=red]%PREFIX%_[/color]personal_messages
WHERE fromName = '[color=red]%USERNAME%[/color]'
Change %DATABASE% to the database your SMF install is using (this is not always necessary- if it throws an error, take this entire line out).
Change %PREFIX%_ to the prefix SMF is using in your database.
Change %USERNAME% to the name of the user you are interested in.

This will pull up all of the private messages from that user and allow you to have a look at what is going on.

This is something you have to have database access to do (commonly it is with phpMyAdmin).  If you need more assistance, it might be better to ask over at the SMF Forums.
