  149   Fri Nov 1 13:39:41 2002 Entry Willem KosterW.Koster@rc.rug.nlRequest  New ELOG entry
When I make a new entry I get an email with 

   subject: New ELOG entry

But when I or someone else changes an entry I also get an email with a 

   subject: New ELOG entry

I would prefer to see "Changed" , "Edited", or "Updated". This is beyond my 
programming capabilities so I enter this request.
  209   Mon Feb 10 23:05:36 2003 Entry eric wootenwootene@verizon.netQuestion  elog notification process causes the email to be truncated when going to Blackberry
Hi Stefan,

Many users have there email forward to Blackberry devices.  Although I 
wasn't aware, it appears the Blackberry has a limit (or maybe one was set) 
of how big the message can be (still checking for that though).

Previously, a modification was made that addressed the issue of slow ELOG 
response when saving the elog entry.   I think the change was for ELOG to 
generate one email and send to all the users designated to receive the 
notification.  This caused everyone to show up as "TO" addresses.

This change makes the Email header increase in size (length).  I guess the 
Blackberry counts the Header portion as part of the email size limit.

Any ideas?

Thanks, 
Eric

Another Question:  Could ELOG be configured to send notifications as a Blind 
Copy?  Just wondering if that would take care of the problem?

I just noticed that the notifications I receive from your ELOG system, 
doesn't show anyone in the "TO:" section but myself.  Or is ELOG configured 
to only send myself a message?

  212   Mon Feb 10 23:36:31 2003 Entry eric wootenwootene@verizon.netBug report  Find
When you do a find in elog, records per page (some crazy large number - for 
your forum logbook, display 57 entries seem to cause the problem, then 
select last year (1 years worth of logs),(don't select printable)

the results appear way off the screen (the message body looks fine, but the 
title, etc extend way off the screen).

Printable doesn't have this problem.
  246   Thu Mar 13 17:30:16 2003 Entry nicknick@nick.comBug report  Problems with 2.3.2
Ive just installed the RPM of Elog 2.3.2 and ive found a bug relating to 
port bindings, basically im running elog bound to port 81 and when i 
install the new RPM it refuses to bind to this port, i tried port 8080 and 
that worked fine

Any ideas ?

I haven't tried `stunnel` with elog, but as far as I read from various
sources, stunnel requires you to create an SSL certificate. In attachment,
you'll find a sample case for stunnel and smtp (port 25) + pop3 (port 110).
Hope this helps.

EZ Email Security With Stunnel
by Pat Parsons

This is a little crash course in how to setup email over SSL painlessly using
Stunnel. First you need to have installed a mail transfer agent to handle the
SMTP portion of the mail. Then you need to have installed either an IMAP server
or a POP3 server. Many distributions come with Stunnel, if yours does not you
can get it from http://www.stunnel.org. Stunnel requires that you have OpenSSL
or SSLeay installed first. This should come with your distribution. Generally
if you have SSH installed you also have a SSL library.

Get and install Stunnel. I am not going into detail on that because if you are
at this point you probably already know how to do so. Make a SSL certificate
for use with Stunnel. OpenSSL provides a makefile to do just that. In my
distribution it is located in /usr/share/ssl/certs . CD to that directory and
type make stunnel.pem to create the certificate that is named stunnel.pem. Now
you need to a few lines to your rc.local file to start Stunnel at bootup
(assuming you ever reboot that is) these lines are:

  /usr/sbin/stunnel -d 995 -r 110
  /usr/sbin/stunnel -d 465 -r 25

This will start stunnel listening on port 995 for POP3 and 465 for SMTP. Now
all you need to do is edit the options for your mail client and there you go.
No need to worry about cleartext email passwords. If you are too impatient to
wait for the next reboot you can type the commands given previously to start
Stunnel right away. There may be some problems with certificate validation for
some email clients. Make sure when asked by the makefile you get the server
name correct. If your email client will not let you add certificates you may
need to change or obtain a certificate from a certification authority. If you
cannot get the certificate vaidation worked out there is no way to ensure that
you are connecting to the correct machine. Have a nice day.
