may be use the logic in the 'format' attribute
like 'email', http, ftp 
so elog will test only on these attributes

Using stunnel4 and the 3.1.0 version of elog, I was able to use gmail smtp without the use of iptables.

In my elogd.cfg I chose:

SMTP username = <gmailusername>@gmail.com
SMTP Password = <The hash produced with the perl statement posted by Christopher Lee>
SMTP host = 127.0.0.1

And in /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf:

[elogssl]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:25
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
verify = 2
CApath = /etc/ssl/certs

FInally, run sudo stunnel4.
icon5.gif   Customized email subject line for an updated entry, posted by Erkcan Ozcan on Tue Jul 7 21:57:04 2015 

Hi,

The default email subject line for a new entry is: "New ELOG entry", and the default email subject line for an edited entry is: "Updated ELOG entry". However when we set "Use Email Subject", both new entries and the updated entries use the same email subject. Is there an equivalent of "Use Email Heading Edit" for the subject line? I tried "Use Email Subject Edit", to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

e.

Since there were no responses, I decided to make good use of the fact that the software is thankfully open-sourced. I modified elogd.c and added just a couple of lines to get what I wanted.

22245,22250d22244
<    if (old_mail && getcfg(lbs->name, "Use Email Subject Edit", subject, sizeof(subject))) {
<       i = build_subst_list(lbs, slist, svalue, attrib, TRUE);
<       sprintf(str, "%d", message_id);
<       add_subst_list(slist, svalue, "message id", str, &i);
<       strsubst_list(subject, sizeof(subject), slist, svalue, i);
<    } else

 

These lines just follow the comment line: /* compose subject from attributes */

icon5.gif   Server dropping SSL connection while uploading large files, posted by Erkcan Ozcan on Sat Jun 10 07:05:24 2017 

Hi,

I am having trouble with uploading large (>0.5MB) files to elog. We click on upload and in a couple of seconds, the webbrowser complains that the server has dropped the connection.

Following the suggestions I found on these forums (https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66753), I increased the timeout.tv_sec to 30 in three locations in elogd.c, but this did not help.

The problem is present in my old elog installation (from ~2 years ago), as well as the latest git snapshot from bitbucket that I cloned on June 10, 2017.

PS: Upload seems to work for non-secure configuration. It still takes a while to load, but it completes. However we prefer to use secure connections ( SSL = 1 ).
PS: Using nmap I looked at the latency to the relevant port, it can be as high as 0.5sec, but most often it is shorter.

Cheers,
e.
