Gmail uses a type of SMTP authentication which is currently not supported by elog. It's however on the todo list.

This is a local issue on your network, if you have a mail server setup. SMTP is not handled directly by Elog and neither is any other mail protocal. Elog just sends the requested email to your server for processing to the recipients afaict. And whatever server (or service) you use to handle email sending needs to be able to accept them from your mail server. So after verifying which ones you want to use; (like OutLook, or gmail, or whatever), then have your local email server set up to work with them. You can prol have a 3rd party do this was well (instead of your own local one) but then they would STILL need to be able to work with whatever guidlines the actual sender (gmail, hotmail..) requires to have mail sent. Email is a lonnng trail of different providers, servers, and other actors..

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.

| Okay, I got it working but I had to change the authentication method of my mail server to Pop before SMTP. I do not know why the username/password doesn't work - it does work with Outlook Express. I would rather use the username/password method, but atleast things are working now. |

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. |

ELOG has not change in the last years in that respect, but I know that mailer get more and more picky about encryption etc. So you probably have to convince your mailer to accept the pw as it comes from ELOG, or do not require a pw for that specific client.

Hello, my sending of emails was working a while back but I have not checked on it in a few months and found out I am getting authentication errors sending to my MTA (mailer). I was using a base64 to encode the pw but now my mailer (gandi.net) rejects it. Has anything changed over the last couple of years with Elogs code that would be affecting this? I just upgraded (Linux) and changed my testing grounds to non-production and the same problem exists. Thing is I CAN send using other programs, but not with Elog. It is impertive I figure this out or have a work around.. but a 'work around' does not seem like a possible task since all the work (forums and such) will be via my Elog server.
Thanx, John

| Stefan Rudat wrote: | | Cannot stat() config file; No such file or directory. |
I do not know what exactly is going on. This error occurs during runtime when elog tries to check if the config file (usually elogd.cfg) has changed. It checks if the file is there on startup, but apparently it is there, otherwise elog would not start. Then it checks about once per second if the file access time has changed. If so, it rereads the file. This way changes to the file become valid immediately, without restarting elog. The fact that elog has access to the file on startup, but not later, is somehow strange. Maybe you lock this file with an editor, or it is on a network drive which gets disconnected, or the permission changed after the startup. Something in that direction. |
