Is that a bug or is there something wrong with my configuration? |
Well, I tell you what is wrong: The form says explicitly (name may not contain blanks) and you did not listen 
I can add a simple check if the name contains blanks, but then some people will come up with other strange characters (@#$%), and I'm not sure which of those gives problems. If you test this carefully and tell me which characters to make forbidden, I will happyly add a simple check. |

The util library was added recently because of the new shell substitution functionaly, which requires the forkpty() function call. If you know in which library the forkpty is available on solaris, the makefile could be adjusted accordingly. If the forkpty is not available at all, we have to disable the shell substitution under solaris via conditional compilation. |

-- Ah, just looked at the docs, I see what that buys us. Surely there is a similar function available that is cross platform?

See the config manual and look for $shell |

That worked some time ago, but did not work currently. So I fixed that in the current SVN version. |

 | Chris Warner | christopher_warner@dcd.uscourts.gov | Question | Linux | | email problems |
When I select to get email notification on new logbook entries I receive this error when entering a new record.
Error sending Email via "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx": Syntax error, parameters in command "MAIL FROM: christopher_warner@xxx.gov SIZE=1985" unrecognized or missing
The user that sent the message was a test account that I set up. I entered the email address in the box provided and I am not sure what may be causing the difficulty.
Any thoughts as to what may be causing this? |

| Ulrich Trüssel | ulrich.truessel@familienhund.ch | Question | Windows | 2.6.1-1 | Problem with MOptions |
After upgrading to 2.6.1-1 (actually donwgraded in case of this problem to 2.6.0) i was not longer able to selct more than one MOptions selection in my ELOGs. Only the first slected selection was acepted by ELOG. Ex:
MOptions Test = Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg
Selecting: Bb, Cc, Gg
Submitting the entry form, autoreturn to the overview of the even made entry, only Bb was taken.
Any Idea what's happen? Did I miss something changing in 2.6.1-1 or may this be a bug? Thanks for ideas?
Would loke to upgreade to 2.6.1. in case of the new forms for long MOptions, but need to selct more than one! |

That should work in 2.6.1-2 now. |

There are two possible reasons:
1) The email address "christopher_warner@xxx.gov" is invalid. Some SMTP server immediately complain about invalid email addresses and refuse to send any mail then. In that case just supply an existing email address or remove that test account.
2) The SMTP server does not like the "SIZE=xxx" option. This comes from a single line in elogd.c:
snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s SIZE=%d\r\n", from, strlen(text));
you could just go there and remove the " SIZE=%d", so that the line looks like:
snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s\r\n", from);
to see if that makes any difference. |
