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

Older versions of elogd have a problem with sending long attachements - the send() syscall is not protected against interrupt by SIGALARM. This seems to be fixed in non-SSL builds of current elog (version 3+), 
but for SSL builds, the error handling for the SSL_write() function looks incorrect. In addition, from OpenSSL documentation it is not clear if SSL_write() can handle signal interrupts at all.
K.O.

Hi Stefan,

I don't know if anyone else would be interested or need this...

If you have an Roption, and it is not required (maybe...) or have a preset attribute, it is possible to make an
entry and have replies without any of the attributes in that Roption being selected.

However, once an attribute in that Roption has been selected, it is not possible to go back (editing) to the
condition before one was selected on that entry (so far as I can tell).  

Is a way of cancelling all the possible attributes in an Roption practical?  Would others want it?  It is
possible with options, as there is a "please select" which can be used to cancel whichever attribute in the
option that has been selected.

Regards,  David

If I edit an old entry, and do some mistake while editing, then there is currently no way to savely discard the changes.

The problem is that the entry will become a draft: if I close the window without saving, then the whole entry is gone: it will be converted into a draft entry. But the draft does contain my changes, it is not the originally saved entry!

The draft mechanism should keep a copy of the entry before I opened it in edit mode, and allow to go back to that copy. The edit form has currently the buttons "Submit", "Save", "Preview" and "Delete"; it should have in addition the button "Cancel", that just closes the edit window without saving the entry and even deleting the draft that was saved while the entry was modified. This should bring you back to the previous list view.

Is anyone out there in favour of this change?

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the command-line client from linux, but I can't make it work and that's driving me nuts...

What I want is to reply to a selected message in the logbook, but I stumble onto two problems:

1. There is a read password ("Read Password=..." entry in elogd.cfg)on the logbook which I cannot bypass from the client. Specifying the switch -u "" password on the command line has no effect, and neither does -w password. The error message I get is included at the bottom of this message. If I disable the read password, I get past the authentication.
2. There is a required attribute called "Publiek", and it's defined as MOptions. Whenever I try to upload, I keep getting the message that it misses this attribute. I tried the switch -a Publiek=Anders, -a "Publiek=Anders", -a Publiek_0=Anders, -a "Publiek_0=Anders" -a "Publiek_1=Onbekend, -a Publiek=1 on the beginning, end, and middle of the command, but the results are the same. Both "Anders" and "Onbekend" are in the MOptions list (including capitals).

For completeness, here's (one variety) of my command line:

elog -a "Publiek=1" -h localhost -p 8181 -l Artikelen -v -r 80

The obvious question is if anybody knows what I'm doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
