I host my own mail server which uses authentication and my password was set using -t on the command line. With SMTP host = I have tried smtp.checkeranderson.com (which is how my mail program puts it) and mail.checkeranderson.com which is how my DNS server has it. The user name and password are correct. When I edit or reply to any topic I get the message "Error sending Email via "checkeranderson.com"" I have struggled with this for hours and I know I must be missing something that would be obvious to anyone else. Can anyone help me? |
Start the ELOG server manually in a DOS box with the "-v" flag, like
> cd \Program Files\ELOG
> elogd.exe -v
(you first might have to stop the elog service via "net stop elogd"). Now you see all communication between the browser and elog and between elog and the SMTP server. If you now try to send an email, you will see the detailed error information returned by your SMTP server. |

Here is what I am seeing when I use the -v option. I do not recognize what is generating the error message, but pperhaps you will. Thanks.

Substitution was not enabled for email addresses, but I added this for you. It's in SVN revision 1712 if you build elog yourself from the SVN, otherwise it will be contained in the next release. |

Great! Thanks very much. And quick too! Any idea when the next release will be available? Is there a mailing list I can sign up to to get notifications? |

You are on the mailing list  , there is only this list. But you can check out the SVN version as described in the documentation. |

This was not implemented so far, but is a good idea. So I put it into SVN revision 1713. You either get the SVN update or wait for the next release of ELOG. |

That's really strange, since elog does not do any pop at all. So "pop before SMTP" won't help. The elogd message log in the previous message seems truncated to me, you should get something like

In your case there should even be more than that due to the authentication (our sever does not use username authentification). Maybe you have an error there in the authentication. |

| Conditional attributes have been made working in email notifications sometime in version 2.6.0. You might have to upgrade to the recent version, but then it should work. |
