This is nicely explained in the documentation: https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#global

I believe Yanick means the SMTP port, not the port under which elogd is listening. The SMPT port is hard wired to 25, because port 587 was not yet defiend when I wrote that code. I can make this a variable, but only if it works. So Yanick can you test if port 587 accepts normal SMTP commands? We don't have such a new server at our lab and I cannot test it. Under Windows you can open a command prompt and telnet to the mail server:

telnet <server> 587
HELO test
MAIL FROM: test

your server should then reply with "220 ..." and "250 ..." messages. Once this works, I will implement the variable SMTP port.

I Stefan, it works with the 587 port.

Hi,

When i set Language = French in global config it works in french until i logout, after i can't login anymore, even if i enter my user and password i always stay at the login window, the only way to login again is to edit the Elogd.cfg file in Elog directory, remove the Language = french and save then i can login in and work normally in english version.

Thanks.

I just tried myself with the current version 3.1.4 and it worked for me flawlessly. Maybe you want to upgrade.

Stefan

Ok, so I added the option 

STMP port = xxx

where you can specify 587 to override the default port 25. I committed the changes to bitbucket. Can you compile from sources, or do I have to dig out my dusty Windows PC?

Stefan

Thanks!
