email problems, posted by Chris Warner on Tue Feb 7 21:02:22 2006

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? |

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. |

The email address id correct. I am using an Elog Binary. I don't have the source code .

menu commands - user list does not match config list, posted by Alan Stone on Thu Feb 9 00:37:29 2006

I am attempting to configure the Elog for use at the CMS Remote Operations Center
at Fermilab. I included the following option:
Menu commands = List, New, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Last day, Config, Admin, Login, Logout, Help
but the available list (after restarting the elog daemon) gives me:
CMS ROC Logbook, Page 1 of 1 Logged in as "Alan Stone" ELOG Home
New | Find | Select | CSV Import | Config | Logout | Help
Did I miss a step in the syntax instructions?
Thanks, Alan |

Yap. There are two menus, one for the listing page which contains only line per entry, and one for the individual entry page. You changed the one for the individual entry page, which you will see when you slick on any entry. To change the listing page manu, do a List Menu commands = ... |

Ok, so I removed the SIZE=xxx parameter, which is not strictly necessary anyhow I believe. So wait for the next release, and you can try. |
