Reply-by-email feature improvement

I improved the reply-by-email feature (with which you can post on the forum by replying to your email notifications).

Before, there was a delay of 0-5 minutes before your message was posted on the forum, now it will be near-instant.

For those who like technical details, the feature previously used a gmail address to which all the user replies went, and the forum would poll the gmail account every 5 minutes to catch and post the messages on the forum.

Now, the server uses its own email server instead of relying on a third-party email provider, so the replies can be received and posted on the forum without delay.

To sum it up,
