The problem there is that your SMPT server does not reply with
250 OK

which my server does. So elogd was waiting 3 seconds for "OK", and then aborted. I change the code (now in SVN revision 1871) to look for "250 " (with one blank at the end). You have to update from SVN, recompile and try again. Anyhow elogd only supports plain login authentication ("AUTH LOGIN"), which not all SMPT servers accept. You have to see.


This is what I get now, Is this the Auth Login problem you were speaking of?

No. It looks like PLAIN LOGIN is supported, but your username/password is wrong. Ask your SMPT system administrator.

SMTP username = advservices@XXXXX.XXX

Maybe advservices instead of advservices@XXXXX.XXX ? Just an idea.

No luck, i am going to setup another account on a different box and try again.

I am having another issue. I am using "Preset Author = $long_name" to set the authors name automatically.
But I also don't want the user to change it so i added "Locked Attributes = Author".

The filed is locked but the name shows up on its own line above the "Fields marked with * are required"

As soon as I remove the "Locked Attributes = Author" it shows up correctly in the Author bar.

I fixed that yesterday. Please upgrade to SVN revision 1873.

Thanks - That Fixed It!

I am still having the issue with the email, I have tried to accounts (i can get into through thunderbird and webmail just fine) and a different main server and several ways of the username.
I am kind of at a lost of what to do next.

I'm also running out of ideas. You would have to use a network sniffer (like Ethereal) and compare the network traffic between Thunderbird/ELOG and the SMTP server.
