STARTTLS is not supported natively by elog. You have to disable this in your SMTP server.

Why don't you start elogd interactively with the "-v" flag (verbose) and watch the communication between elog and postfix. Maybe you see a specific error there.

Hi,

I have set up my elog for testing and setup postfix to be able to send email notification for register of new user but whatever i try elog cannot set email. I try to sent test email in my bash and this is working without problem to my gmail account.

I have tried several configuration for my smtp client on my centos 7 but nothing is working in elog for the email. I also tried with several other email but no change either.

Is there a problem with the automatic sending of email ? 

 

 

Best

First thing you want to try is to upgrade elog to the last version. Older versions have problems in including images.

Then you want to check the "Email Format" in your elogd.cfg configuration file. Only if "16" is included there, then attachments are sent as email attachments and images will be included in yoru email. If not, only a link of the image is included in your email, and you correctly realized that you then cannot view the image because your email client does not knwo how to authenticate itself at the elog server.

When I use the email notification for an entry with images in the text, it seems the email server cannot retrieve the image. When I inspected the URL of the image it went to the login page.

Is that because the logbook has a password config that the access from the URL of the image needs authentication?    Or I am just using the image upload the wrong way .

We noticed some elog email messages were not showing up in our inboxes at random.  What we believe is happening is when a elog entry is created it is assigned a message id that the mail servers will use.  If a message is edited that same message id is used and some mail servers involved will ignore the duplicate message id.  We have also noticed when a elog entry is deleted the next entry created will assume the deleted entry message id and just like above the email will be ignored since it has a duplicate message id. 

The message ID is part of the "user data" of the email, not of the standard email header. So the mail servers "do not know" about the message ID, which make it strange that double messages are filtered. Nobody else reported this problem before. Maybe is it related to your SPAM filter? Can you check if the double entries are classified as SPAM in your case?

 Hi Stefan,

I seem to recall this behaviour on this forum.  I was writing an entry, and due to mis-typing, submitted the entry before I had finished.  So I edited it, but there was only the one email sent.  I thought that this was how the thing was supposed to work.  To try it now, I am going to submit this, then edit the entry a little further, and we can all see if one or two emails are generated.

Well, I see just one email notification, have you already submitted your second? I tried on the "Demo" logbook here and I got two notifications. This can of course be turned off with the option "Suppress email on edit = 1". Maybe you are using this?

Any idea how to get the HTML format email back?

Marty

 Sat Nov 6 14:47:16 2010

It looks strange but when I copy and past the message, like I did here,  the HTML format is OK, but not when I receive the email in Outlook. This used to be OK with the previous version.

Nothing has changed in Outlook

The email notification contains the basic HTML code and an (external) reference to the underlying CSS. I use for example Thunderbird instead of Outlook, and this program asks me if I should "show remote content". Only if I click yes, then the external CSS is loaded. Outlook might also have an option "view as web page" or so. The old format did not use full HTML and therefore was displayed correctly. This can be changed with the email encoding = ... option.

I'm German as well, but cannot understand your question. Can you write an 
email in German directly to me?

Ich kann Deine Frage leider nicht verstehen. Kannst Du sie mir direkt in
