Howto force users to supply an email address when registering?, posted by Johan Nyberg on Thu Oct 20 14:15:14 2005

Hi,
Today I noticed that a user had registered without supplying an email address. I am using Self Register = 3, which means I recieve an email from elogd when a new user wants to register. Apparently, I forgot to check that the users email field was empty. This empty email field led to a situation in which no email notifications were sent to the users. The elogd log file looks like this for a user with a registered email address:
20-Oct-2005 12:20:21 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} RCPT TO: <johan.nyberg@tsl.uu.se>
20-Oct-2005 12:20:21 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} 250 Ok
while it looks like this for a user with an epmty email address:
20-Oct-2005 12:20:22 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} RCPT TO: <>
20-Oct-2005 12:20:22 [<snip>] {AGATA SDA} 501 Bad address syntax
When elogd hits this error it stops the process of sending emails, which means that no emails
at all are sent to any of the users. After manually adding the email address of the user with an empty address,
automatic email notification work again.
Is there a way to force the users to supply an email address when they register?

I will happily implement such an email check if you supply me further information. Presume you enter an email address in the form user#domain.com (# instead @). Does your SMPT server then complain, too? What about user@com (without "domain.")? If you check all possibilities and let me know, I will put it in. |

Hi Stefan,
Sorry for the delayed reply. I have run some tests which I will send to you by email.

| Is it possible to send an email to Elog and record an entry automatically?We have situations where endusers have very narrow bandwidth email access. But no broadband to update E-log. Is there some mechanism so that they can send a email and it update Elog automatically?Thanks in advance. |

Proxy question, posted by Jesse Wodin on Wed Dec 7 02:37:40 2005

I'm trying to run elog 2.6.0-beta4 under Apache 2.0. I follow the directions, and everything works fine, so my
elog runs as
http://grattalab3.stanford.edu/elog/
running under port 8082, with the following lines in my httpd.conf file
Redirect permanent /elog http://grattalab3.stanford.edu/elog
ProxyPass /elog/ http://grattalab3.stanford.edu:8082/
This machine has an alias, which is http://exo-elog.stanford.edu. My question is, how can I run elog so that
when someone types in this name, it brings up my elog? I know that I can make a VirtualHost entry and put a
redirect at the document root of that virtual host, but that seems clumsy. Can I just modify ProxyPass or add a
Redirect statement somehow?
Thanks! |

I ended with 125384 entries like the one above.
Everything works fine but ......... [U]tteerrrriibbllee[/U] [B]slow[/B]. CPU usage is constant at 99%.
I tried to split the one file produced by the import into 2 chunks but that did not improve the situation.
My question is : Is there a rule of thumb for the size of the "database" in which elog keeps it's performance, or better : is there a solution for this for elog.
