The one big remaining problem is getting the summary sent to the mailing list. sf.net is fussy about this, it's not good enough to just use /usr/bin/mail, sf.net makes you jump through hoops. This is why I have been cutting and pasting, or sending to myself then forwarding.
The emails are being sent from the script running on e2.enlightenment.org as user onefang using /usr/bin/mail, so it ends up with a from address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note, not @e2.enlightenment.org. The first obvious hoop is that the sender has to be on the mailing list. To subscribe to a mailing list I need to receive the confirmation email, and respond to it or click on the supplied URL. So I would need to get the [EMAIL PROTECTED] emails. enlightenment.org's MX records point to easydns.com, which is our DNS hosting provider. Reading through their website, they could provide email forwarding for us. Currently, emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] just seem to disappear into the ether. Another option would be for whoever has control of the mailing list to simply add [EMAIL PROTECTED] Set it up so that they can post, but don't receive email. The next hoop is that sf.net will then check to see if a user called onefang is allowed to send email from enlightenment.org. Once again, easydns.com may be able to help us jump through this hoop with their email forwarding service. In my testing I've never gotten past this hoop, so I don't know what other hoops there may be. Typically there is no response from these hoops, nothing ever gets bounced, and nothing is ever left in log files we can check. So the hoop jumping has to be done blind. Actually running our own SMTP server on e2.enlightenment.org would help to solve these problems, but I doubt we want to do that. Thoughts?
