What you can do is run the elog submit utility with the "-v" flag (verbose) and
grap the output. It's HTML code, but you should see any error message there.

I personally use Elog *instead* a majordomo email list. You can either specify
a email list in the elogd.cfg file, or you can keep a list of users in the
password file with automatic email notifications, that's how this forum works
for example. But I don't know if you can give up your majordomo list.

I happened to find something interesting when trying my perl script. it hangs the
elog system with hand-crafted http header.

I also sent email with more detail on this. just want to make sure you are aware of
this.

This bug has been fixed in revision 1.524 of elogd.c available from CVS.

I have a logbook with an attribute that has a number of fixed values. I 
use MOptions to prevent typos when entering and allow multiple "keywords".
When searching the users can only search on one keyword.
Is there any way to search on multiple values (AAA|BBB|CCC)? If I do not 
use MOption, they can do this, but the users entering logs may mistype the 
keywords.

I can export the Attributes I define easily and the Subject. Can't seem to 
export the Entry Date and the Text fields.

Help.

The XML export contains both the Entry Date and Text fields. In CSV format,
it's hard to export the Text field since it can span several lines, which would
break the CSV format (one line per entry). Or do you know how multi-line
entries can be encoded in CSV?

I added at least the date and message ID to the CSV export. New version under CVS.
