SID-01098: WebNotify not working in v5.0.1

Status: Answered Answered TWiki version: 5.0.1 Perl version: 5.10.0
Category: CategoryEmail Server OS: OpenSuSE Linux 11.0 Last update: 12 years ago

I recently upgraded to v5.0.1 (from 4.1.2) and now email notifications now do not reach their destinations. Nothing else has changed (web browser, mail set up etc) If I run mailnotify from a terminal it eems to work fine, all the expected details are there and there are no errors, but the emails no longer get to their destination I am using sendmail, and the mail logs have the sent messages listed with (to my unexpert eye) no errors. Sending sendmail messages from the terminal works as normal, so it seems to be twili issue. Everything else works fine, but I will have to revert to v4, if I can't get this to work so any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Ernie

Discussion and Answer

Likely a mail configuration issue in TWiki. If {SMTP}{MAILHOST} is set, TWiki sends mail via CPAN:Net::SMTP module. Else it sends it via {MailProgram}. If MAILHOST is set check the other settings {SMTP}{SENDERHOST} (typically not required), {SMTP}{Username} and {SMTP}{Password} (sometimes required).

Thanks for prompt reply. {MAILHOST} was not set, so I set it - and SMTP transfer works OK. This solves the problem for me, but leaves the question of a possible bug in the sendmail part of mailnotify
