Windows binaries took care of this problem as with Message ID: 66157.

Problem solved, thanks!

Unfortunately can't validate this right now. I'm at a remote network trying to get ELOG on my Windows laptop working with e-mail notifications. Either my normal ISP will not allow the SMTP to accept relaying from external networks, or something else is wrong.

The Windows binary is behaving somewhat differently, it seems to behave like earlier versions. I.e. the error message seen on the browser (Error sending Email via "smtp.xxx.xxx") is very limited. Logging (level 6) will not revile much and -v doesn't output any hints either. Assuming the first possible cause, I registered a account at gmail to try see if their SMTP would allow e-mail relaying. Trying with the Windows binary version I seemingly leads to the same result (i.e. I don't see much and the error seen at the browser is the same). However, when trying to run ELOG on a machine at my home network the message is different:

Error sending Email via "smtp.gmail.com": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. w40sm7583927ugc.6

The message does not surprise me (from previous experience, TLS was what made made postfix complicated to set up too). But what does surprise me is that the messages differ between the two (ELOG V2.7.5 running on a Linux machine and the Windows binary of the same version). Does Linux/Windows versions differ by conditionals in the code or did I somehow get an older Windows binary?

It would also be helpful knowing if ayone has got ELOG working with smtp.gmail.com.

Thanks for the info, it saves me some time know this on beforehand.

You're right about the Windows binary, it's a lower SVN revision (2140).

If I upload the file "000000_000000_file.txt", elog will chop the filename to "file.txt."  Also, this effects
the file's displayed "Uploaded" time.  It shows the file as being uploaded on: "Tue Nov 30 00:00:00 1999"

Note the attachment to this post.

----

Makefile has the line:

# flag for SSL support
USE_SSL    = 1

However setting USE_SSL = 0 does not prevent the openssl libraries from being used.  Same issue with USE_CRYPT.
 You have to comment them out.

Lines 76-85 of Makefile should be replaced with this:

ifdef USE_SSL
ifneq ($(USE_SSL), 0)
CFLAGS += -DHAVE_SSL
LIBS += -lssl
endif
endif

ifdef USE_CRYPT
ifneq ($(USE_CRYPT), 0)
CFLAGS += -DHAVE_CRYPT
LIBS += -lcrypt
endif
endif

Thank you for your response.  

I can certainly use another filename, but I'm curious why elog doesn't convert the filename "000000_000000_file.txt" to
"YYMMDD_HHMMSS_000000_000000_file.txt" when it gets uploaded.  All other files are automatically prepended with this
string.  Manually renaming the file and then editing the elog entry via text editor seems to fix the file.

Hello,
I would like to notify by email as soon as an entry is created or modified.
I declared my SMTP which uses TLS security.
The following error message appears : Erreur d'envoi de mail via "smtp.xxxx.xxx.xxx.fr": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

Is there a solution ?

Thanks,

Does email notification from a Gmail address work? It is noted that port 465 must be used for SSL use? Is this correct :

SMTP host : smtp.gmail.com

SMTP port = 465

SMTP username = monadresse@gmail.com

And, should I enter the password attached to my Gmail email and where?

Thanks in advance.
