Your verbose output seems to be only partial. I have modified the verbose output recently, so please update to a more recent version of elog. With 2.6.2-3 I get for example

This is of course without SMTP username. Our mail server does not support SMTP username, so I programmed this kind of "blindly".

Another question is; Can I change the port number of the smtp server? Some servers use another port than 25.


All server I met so far were running on port 25, so I hardcoded this in elogd.c. You can change it in the source code at line 2119:
bind_addr.sin_port = htons((short) 25);

If more people ask for this, I can make it a parameter.

I downloaded the latest version just yesterday. I checked again now; it is version 2.6.2-3. I'll wait some time for release of new build of windows binaries. Mine differs from yours as a one build number only.

Thanks for prompt answer.

Now I installed 262-4 but no change. communication seems to be stopped at the same point.

There is a free e-mail service at mail.softhome.net. It provides smtp and pop3 services. You can use this for testing if you want.

Saluts.

I tried but I was unable to obtain a free account. Furthermore, the problem is probably related to your SMTP server's authentication method. There are many methods and ELOG only supports a subset. So I would have to try with your specific SMTP server. So the only recommendation I can give you is to find an SMTP server without authentication. That one will certainly work with elog.

Dear all WINDOWS users,

Good news.
you can send email to any SMTP server with authentification !!! Just install component Windows IIS (Internet Information Services). You need the Windows Professional installation CD to install it.

How it works:
ELOG -> Default SMTP Virtual Server -> SMTP with authentification (your email provider/ company mail server)


How to configurate Default SMTP Virtual Server:

Right mouse click on icon My Computer -> Manage
Expand Services and Apllications -> IIS
Right mouse click on Default SMTP Virtual Server -> Properties
Select Delivery tab
Click the button Outbound Security ->Select Basic authentification and enter your user/password which you got from your Email-provider/Company -> OK
Click the button Advanced... -> type your SMTP host in the fields "smart host" and "Full-qualified... ", i.e. smtp.gmx.net

(Don't forget to check the tab Access -> Connection and Relay buttons -> Select "All accept the list")



How to configurate your Elog.cfg file:
SMTP host = xxxx

Normally xxxx is your personal computer name by right click on the icon "My Computer" -> Properties -> Tab "Computer Name"
OR
xxxx: the name what you see by expand Services and Apllications -> IIS -> Default SMTP Virtual Server -> Domains -> Domain Name


GOOD LUCK

I have two logbooks with identical settings,

in the other one as html-page, and after using the back button the entered text disapear.
Same I have in this forum.

 

Can you describe what you exactly enter in this forum to produce the error so that I can reproduce it?

 I could not produce this error here again, so I work on that:

There was a attribute with Type = Date, Preset = $Date.

This added following js code

  for (var i=0 ; i<document.form1.y0.value.length ; i++)
if ((document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) < "0" ||
document.form1.y0.value.charAt(i) > "9")) { break }
This cause in following error 
Fehler: document.form1.y0 is undefined
Quelldatei: http://elog1.bkitech.de/Test-Maengelbericht/?cmd=Neu
Zeile: 16
After that error none js will be executed. After remarking the Type line, all work well.

I tried with following minimal configuration file:

Attributes = D, Author, Subject
Type D = Date
Preset D = $Date

and it worked fine. The form contains a field:

Year: <input type="text" size=5 maxlength=5 name="y0">

which contains the name "y0" and therefore produced no error. Can you try with that configuration and see which difference to your configuration causes the error to appear?
