Hi,

we've got 109 logbooks in Elog. Whenever I set a notify for all logbooks in configuration menu it is limited to 73 entrys. After saving the changes the rest of the entrys are cut off.
I've already searched in the sourcecode if I can find some limitation for that but without success.

When I change the password file by hand, it is working as long as I don't change anything in the configuration that rewrites the file.

Regards,
Oliver

Hi,

I am setting up an elog to organize my lab activities. I installed elog 2.8.0 on the latest CentOS 5.5, 32 bit. I got into trouble setting up the automated email notification.

According to the elog manual, I setup the smtp setting in the elogd.cfg as follows:

SMTP host = smtp.gmail.com
SMTP username = jianglai.liu
 

I then used "elogd -t" to encode the password into the configuration file.

But when I submit an entry, I always received: "Error sending Email via "smtp.gmail.com": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. y17sm867489wfd.15"

If I switched to use my university email servers, similar things happened.

SMTP host = smtp.sjtu.edu.cn
SMTP username = jianglai.liu

I got "Error sending Email via "smtp.sjtu.edu.cn": 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: another step is needed in authentication"

I also switched to use one of my old work server

SMTP host = smtp-server.its.caltech.edu
SMTP username = jliu

and ended up with the same error message.

I did a google search on this without much progress. I would appreciate it very much if someone could shed light on how do I fix this.

Thanks much!
