Re: Email Notification: Clarification on Attribute - can value be a string?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Oct 26 11:18:59 2007

If you read
http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#email
you will see the sentence:
If either the attribute or the value contains one or more blanks the string must be enclosed with quotation marks, as in:
* Email Type "Normal routine" = ...
so in your case you should write
Email Report "Shift Summary" = ... |

Re: Email notification: "Use Email From = " always set to admin, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Oct 26 11:44:36 2007

My current syntax is:
; Email notification
Suppress Email to users = 0
Omit Email To = 1
Use Email Subject = $system: $subject
#Use Email From = Author Email
Email Report General = hn-cms-dataopslog@cern.ch, cms-dataops@fnal.gov
I had to comment out the 'Use Email From' option because all forwarded
entries to the CMS HyperNews or Fermilab ListServer appeared to originate
from me (alstone@fnal.gov), even though other users were logged in and
saving the entries to the logbook. After commenting out this line, the
entries were properly credited when forwarded, although the
There are two admins defined in the [global] section, and "alstone" is
not the first name in the "Admin user" list.
Is this a bug, or have I used this option incorrectly?

Documentation says:
If Use Email From is present, it is always used. If not, the email address of the currently logged in user is used for the "From:" field. If no user is logged in, or the current user has not specified a email address in the password database, the setting of the option Default Email From is used for the "From:" field. Only if this option is not specified, a generic address ELOG@<hostname> is used, which might be rejected by the SMTP server however.
So if you write
Use Email From = me@some.where
then of course all emails have "me@some.where" in the From: field. If you want the email of the people logged in, you either remove this option (since it's the default anyhow), or you write explicitly
Use Email From = $user_email |

Hi,
I am having the same problem with 2.6.4.1 and the latest version. It just hangs and taking a long time to upload multiple of 1.5 to 2 MB attachments...or just one few MB attachment. Hope that's a fix soon. |

Hi,
I did more testing..if I suppress email notification, it is fast. There is something wrong there.

Ok,
I noticed that the email notification got two copies of the attached files to elog post. It looks like the cause is
between elog and the mail server. When there is email notification, the attachement is sent along to the mail server and that's taking a long time and there are two copies of the attachment.

Indeed I can confirm that without email notification it's blazing fast. I haven't observed attachments being send twice. Though I got two indentical entries in the elog.
On my box I'm using sendmail. Until there is some fix in the way elog comunicates with mailer (if it is possible that is) could we have an option to suppress sending attachments in email notification?
Best Regards,

There is such an option:
Email format = 47
This tells elog to send email notifications without attachments. Anyhow I would not recommend to send big attachments as emails, since most email systems won't allow you that. Since the attachments are base64 encoded, the encoding can also take quite a long time. |
