I have not yet gotten any emails relating to the calendar entry
changes.
Some hosting providers disable the mail() function of PHP to prevent
spam. If that is your case, unfortunately this is not something PmWiki
could fix.
It is currently running in localhost on openSUSE 11.4, so that is not an
issue.
$NotifyList[] = '[email protected] group=Calendar home=Calendar
squelch=30 delay=60';
$NotifyFrom = 'myname@gmailcom';
in config.php Both are valid, working addresses
There is no home= parameter. In case you don't have it already, you
also need
$EnableNotify = 1; Unless it is a typo in this message, '@gmailcom' is
unlikely to be a valid server name on your local network: I suppose it is
'@gmail.com' with a dot.
For testing purposes, I'd try Notify for the whole site and not only
for one
group: just to see if it works.
Alternatively, these messages could land in your Spam/Trash folder: you
may need to configure your email filters to let them through.
Not easy to do without knowing what the subject will be. If I filter on
just a from or to address, it will get a few hundred a day, and most of
them are required for other things. Same with searching for
miss-directed emails.
The default subject is '[$WikiTitle] recent notify posts' where
$WikiTitle is
what you defined in config.php. The 'From:' header will be what you
set at the
$NotifyFrom line.
So it appears that there is no way to test if notify is working.
If you still haven't received a notify message, it is probably not
working.
I'd test if the mail() function works, for example, creating a file
testmail.php containing such a code:
<?php
$message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";
if ( mail('[email protected]', 'Mail from PHP@localhost', $message,
"From: [email protected]\r\n")) {
echo "Mail sent<br/>";
}
else {
echo "Mail NOT sent<br/>";
}
After calling this script with your browser on
http://localhost/testmail.php,
you'll see if your PHP installation can send a message, and if you
receive it.
If you do receive the message in your mailbox, the Nofity feature of
PmWiki
should work too. If you don't, there is a problem outside of PmWiki:
contact
your system administrator or check your documentation on how to enable
sending
e-mails from PHP.
(If your testmail.php file says "Mail sent" but you don't receive the
message)
More and more email servers silently discard any direct mail from
personal
computers like localhost, again to prevent spam. If you control a
domain name,
you could whitelist your personal IP address in order to send emails
with a
From: address on that domain, see
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
Again, this is largely outside of a discussion about PmWiki.
Good luck,
Petko
The testmail.php output a Mail Sent, but with several tries noting was
was received with Thunderbird. I am able to send emails from any of my
accounts to any other of my accounts using Thunderbird with no problem.
My next step is to update the copy on the host with recent changes in my
localhost copy, and test it there.
Thanks, John
When tried live on hosting site, it first gave me some errors that I
fixed, and it now does send out an email.
What is sends is a link to the list of changes on the site. That link is
the full link to the hosting's primary domain, which is masked when
browsing to the site. That would be fine if I were the only person to
get emails, but not to the site visitors. That's why it is masked.
This will require that I get the email, massage it to eliminate that
link, for the potential dozens per day, and then forward the results to
the appropriate people, expected somewhere between 40 and 75.
It also sends the message as:
* Calendar.20110910 . . . September 09, 2011, at 11:53 AM MST by
which is fine up to a point. What I need is the body entered into that
date to be included in the email.
So Notify is not going to work.
John
