How to import previous emails to elog ?, posted by Anand Sengupta on Fri Feb 18 08:43:42 2005
|
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. |

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 |

Conditional Email Notification by a text file, posted by An Thai on Thu Nov 2 14:34:36 2006

Hello,
I try to email by using a email text file to reduce the admin work.
- MOptions Team = EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA, AMERICA
- Email Team EUROPE = $shell(type C:\EuropeEmailList.txt)
but i get always Email sent to Shell execution not enabled via -x flag
Is this feature not supported by ELOG or did i use the wrong syntax?
Thank you in advance. |

Yes, i did it. But the problem is still there.
I exactly tried 50 times by submit a new entry and got only 3 times passed. 47 another cases i got:
"Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".
I run elogd -v and see:
"Email Team EUROPE to Shell execution not enable via -x flag" |

Push button for Menue Command, posted by An Thai on Fri Nov 3 15:53:44 2006

Dear Stefan,
in your documentation: ELOG - Syntax of elog.cfg I see two screenshots in the Themes section. The left one shows a layout with Push buttons on the Menue Command. I would like this layout and try to find information on W3C consortium how i can redesign the CSS file to realise the push button for hyperlink, but I cannot get an success there. Can you give more information how you made it?
Thank you in advance |

Well, it looks like you are getting the text "Shell execution not enable via -x flag" put into the EUROPE attribute then the email server is attempting to send email to the email address "Shell execution not enable via -x flag", which is clearly not a valid address thus the "Error sending Email via "192.168.2.20": 5.5.2 Need Rcpt command".
You need to run run "elogd -v -x" then look for the errors. You also might try a more simpler test like "Preset Team EUROPE = = $shell(type C:\EuropeEmailList.txt)" and then see what is returned. It makes it simpler and removes the email error from the equation.

That's a very interesting idea of setting up mailing lists I never thought about. I tried myself and it works fine. Just as Steve says run "elogd -v -x" to see what happens. Also make sure that EuropeEmailList.txt contains only a single line with comma-separated email addresses, just as you would enter them in the config file. |
I tested many times and find out the problem.
The first opening CMD and running "elogd -v -x". It works perfektly.
Close the CMD: It stops to work.
From this time point it never works again even I try to re-open CMD and run "elogd -v -x"
The computer must be rebooted to get it works. (The CMD for running elogd -x must be always opened !!!) |
Outlook, Outlook Express and Free Webmail have problem with <br />, posted by An Thai on Thu Nov 9 23:52:26 2006

If users reply an entry, the notification email cannot be displayed correctly in Outlook, Outlook Express and Webmail.
I look at the source code and see <br />. It could be the reason. |

I have found the way to get it work properly.
- Open services management (Right click My Computer -> Manage -> Services & Applications -> Services)
- Change elogd statup type to Manual. ->> SORRY: It should be set to Disable !!!
- Create *.bat file in the folder ELOG with Notepad. Type elogd -x in the file.
- Create a Scheduled Task (Start -> Programs - Accessories - System Tools -> Scheduled Tasked). Run Add Scheduled Task . A Wizard will be openned.
- Click Next -> Browser -> open your ELOG folder and select your created *.bat -> select radio button "When my computer starts" -> Next -> type your admin password for the computer -> select Open advanced properties for this task when I click finish.
Good luck!
This setting has worked great since a month. |
