  951   Fri Feb 18 08:43:42 2005 Question Anand Senguptaanandss@iucaa.ernet.in Linux How to import previous emails to elog ?
Hi

We have setup a elog server and would like to import a bunch of emails as
elog entries. Is there some way we can do this ? Since there are hundreds of
emails, it is not possible to post them individually as new elog entries.

Many thanks,
Anand.

Hello, I'm having problems with e-mail notifications.

When I try submitting a new post, I get the following error:

Error sending Email via "smtp.glocalnet.net"

The error message doesn't give a lot of hints...

My config file contains the following lines:

[global]
SMTP host = smtp.glocalnet.net
SMTP username = rhj764h@tninet.se
SMTP Password = xxx

...

[BugZ]

...

Email All = somebody@gmail.com
Use Email From = theproject@kato.homelinux.org

 

The password was created by invoking elogd with the -t option containing the true password. I've tried enter the correct password manually in the config, but the error message is the same.

Below follows a cut&paste of the console output when invoking with the -v option (addresses manually edited to avoid spam):

An update:

I got rid of the version from the Ubuntu repo and installed the latest source release instead (2.7.5-2130).

 

The error is now a little bit different:

Error sending Email via "smtp.glocalnet.net": Syntax error in parameters or arguments to MAIL command

I think I found out what the problem was and e-mail notification now works.

Apparently 'MAIL FROM' syntax used by my ISP expects the address to be within <>.

Adding those in the config file fixes the problem:

Use Email From = <user@domain>

Note that the documentation indicates that the brackets should not be there and I'm not sure if this is a bug or not yet. According to this link the brackets should be there but I think to be consistent with other e-mail related attributes in the config file, they should be added by ELOG.

The 'Email' attibute however seems to work fine without the brackests. I.e.

Email All = user@doman

is OK.

I'm not very familiar with SMTP but I was fiddling around with this some time ago setting up a postfix MT. I eventually succeeded with my ISP, but not with gmail's SMTP. Apperently there are differences with the log-in procedure.

Maybe various differences in login procedure could be handled by allowing ELOG to optionally to use an external program like mailto to handle it's mailing?

SMTP external = 0|1

I think I understand (and actually appreciate) the policy of not depending on external programs. Just a suggestion...

Cygwin is not officially supported. Can you try the Windows binaries? 

Sorry, I didn't know there were any (I've not used Elog for years and I think Cygwin was the only way back then). Tried them now and they seem to work. At least no stack error is caused. I'm getting some other error, but I think it's the handshake with the SMTP. I'll validate it's OK until tomorrow.

Windows binaries also solved the issue with the "Top grop" in my other bug rapport.

Thanks for the help!
