Stack error is caused when an entry is submitted in a e-mail notification enabled log when a new entry is submitted. This error does not happen on linux (same Elog version, same config file).

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Cygwin is not officially supported. Can you try the Windows binaries? 

 

Sorry, I didn't know there were any (I've not used Elog for years and I think Cygwin was the only way back then). Tried them now and they seem to work. At least no stack error is caused. I'm getting some other error, but I think it's the handshake with the SMTP. I'll validate it's OK until tomorrow.

Windows binaries also solved the issue with the "Top grop" in my other bug rapport.

Thanks for the help!

 

 

 

Unfortunately can't validate this right now. I'm at a remote network trying to get ELOG on my Windows laptop working with e-mail notifications. Either my normal ISP will not allow the SMTP to accept relaying from external networks, or something else is wrong.

The Windows binary is behaving somewhat differently, it seems to behave like earlier versions. I.e. the error message seen on the browser (Error sending Email via "smtp.xxx.xxx") is very limited. Logging (level 6) will not revile much and -v doesn't output any hints either. Assuming the first possible cause, I registered a account at gmail to try see if their SMTP would allow e-mail relaying. Trying with the Windows binary version I seemingly leads to the same result (i.e. I don't see much and the error seen at the browser is the same). However, when trying to run ELOG on a machine at my home network the message is different:

Error sending Email via "smtp.gmail.com": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. w40sm7583927ugc.6

The message does not surprise me (from previous experience, TLS was what made made postfix complicated to set up too). But what does surprise me is that the messages differ between the two (ELOG V2.7.5 running on a Linux machine and the Windows binary of the same version). Does Linux/Windows versions differ by conditionals in the code or did I somehow get an older Windows binary?

It would also be helpful knowing if ayone has got ELOG working with smtp.gmail.com.

The Windows Binaries are not recompiled for each minor modification. You should check the SVN revistion (the number which shows up at the very bottom of the page, which is 2153 in this case). It might well be that the Windows Binaries do not yet contain the modification for extended SMTP error report.

Furthermore, TLS is not supported in elogd, only plain SMTP is possible.
