These problems usually come when you are using a different configuration file that the one you think you are using. Note that you explicitly can tell elogd to use a specific configuation file with the "-c" flag. Also make sure to restart elogd after major changes.

Hi,

I started re-using after a month an elog on my linux machine and, without any apparent reason since I did not used the machine at all in the last month, every time I try to submit a post I get the following error

"No SMTP host defined in [global] section of configuration file".

The weird thing is that today I created a new logbook using the previous one as a template and, on the new one, I can post without problem (although the configuration is identical).

Do you know what could be causing this?
