Package: email-reminder
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: normal
Via dpkg-reconfigure email-reminder, I have set a username, password and smtp
server.
That was working with email-reminder 0.6.0.
I did not take care but since 0.7.0, it was the local exim which was sending
the email. I supposed that the cron job was not able to read
/etc/email-reminder.conf and thus fall back to it default setting which is
using local mail server.
With update to 0.7.1-1, I got following error when some reminder has to be sent
by the cron job:
/etc/cron.daily/email-reminder:
Error: authentication with the SMTP server failed with error code 5 at
/usr/bin/send-reminders line 171.
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/email-reminder exited with return code 255
After studying, I discover that it works if I remove the password in
/etc/email-reminder.conf.
The SMTP server probably don't need authentification.
Trouble is that you cannot remove the password through dpkg-reconfigure
email-reminder if you already set it one. If you let the password input blank,
it will keep the previously given one.
Best regards

Description:
email-reminder - Send event reminders by email
Closes: 462658 462805
Changes:
email-reminder (0.7.2-1) unstable; urgency=high
.
* New upstream release
- Fixes corruption of the .email-reminders file in the presence of accented
characters (hence the high urgency)
- Now sends emails as UTF-8, allowing accented characters in event names
.
* Move the chmod'ing of the config file before it's written out in order
to make this safer. Thanks to Joey Hess for catching this.
* Add German debconf translation. Thanks Helge! (closes: #462805)
* Reset the debconf password question after the config has been written.
This unfortunately means that the question will be ask at every install
or upgrade, but at least it allows the password to be set to the empty
string (closes: #462658).
* debian/control: Move Perl to Build-Depends-Indep
* debian/rules: Rename empty /usr/lib/perl5 after build
* debian/postinst: Create the userid as a system user (and remove the group
from postinst and cron.daily)
