Is there any way to send email notification of only the message and not the attachment. We get entries consisting of 10 MBs sometimes, and we would like to send only the message and not the attachment in the email notification. I tried restricting postfix to 1MB and using Email Format = 111 but with no success.

You have to use 

Email Format = 47

to remove the attachments. The encoding is decimal, not binary, so you have to do 1+2+4+8+32.

 

 Dear Stefan,

I tried Email Format =47 . still am having problems.

With Postfix limitation of 1MB elog is giving error message of 'Error sending Email via "<domain name>": 5.3.4 Error: message file too big

Without Postfix limitation, its sending email with the attachment.

Thanks

 

 I guess you are modifying the wrong elogd.cfg file. Note that you have to send a HUP signal after you changed elgod.cfg for the daemon to re-read the file. Try modifying something else (like adding a new attribute) and see if the daemon sees the change.

 Adding a new attribute is working fine... Has it to do with the elog 2.6.3 version and also I downloaded from ubuntu's synaptic package.. Will the latest release of elog solves this problem???

I don't remember exactly when this feature was added, but it would well be that it was after 2.6.3, so upgrading would help.

 Thanks Stefan. Now I have installed 2.7.4 and the problem is solved. but am having another problem. Elog is giving the same error message if the logbook has more than 5 subscribers for email notification. Upto 5 subscribers it works fine. I am sure its not postfix problem as I am able to send to more than 5 addresses in pine.

 There is no limitation with 5 addresses in elog. What you can do however is to turn on debugging and watch the communication between elog and your SMTP server. To do so, start elogd interactively with the "-v" flag (='verbose'), send an message and watch the output. Maybe your SMTP server sends some error code to elogd.

 In that case you have to make one logbook per user and restrict the access to it using the "Login user = ..." directive.

 I understand.

Thank you for the quick response.

 You've probably seen my other posts on this subject.

I want to be able to re-edit some entries but I need some way to know the dates entries were re-edited.

Am I just approaching this the wrong way? Should I disable re-editing of entries and use threads to follow changes by posting replies to an entry?

The only problem with that is that if I make a mistake I will have to submit a new entry to fix it. 

Please read the FAQ

Apart from logging when and who, is it also possible to somehow log WHAT has changed (like $attribute + $old_value was changed by $who at $date)
