Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst::Plugin::Email not working
Hi,
Have you tried running a tcpdump on the session to see what's being sent to
the mail server?
Cheers,
Andy.

don't want to have to deal with maintaining a mail server in the future.
So anyway, back to Catalyst::Plugin::Email with authenticated SMTP...
I think the issue I am having is actually with the username and passwords
being sent encrypted in Base64. I have verified that I am able to perform
an AUTH LOGIN on the Rackspace SMTP server from my web server by doing a
telnet my.smtp.server 25; HELO host; AUTH LOGIN; Base64 encoded Username;
Base64 encoded Password, and I get a 235 2.7.0 Authentication successful.
So I know this web server is capable of authenticating on the SMTP server.
So now my thoughts turn to, why would the username and password not be
encoded properly with perl on my web server, but it does work on my Mac at
home? Just as a quickie, I updated my MIME::Base64 to the newest version,
and re-started. No such luck.
Any other ideas on where to look next, now that I have been able to uncover
more information?

There's
just something about Catalyst::Plugin::Email that is not sending them,
and
leaving no visible errors/warnings/logs that I can find to try to figure
out
why.
How about wrapping the $c-email() statement in eval {} and checking for
errors? I don't know if that will help but easy enough to test.

[Catalyst] Catalyst::Plugin::Email not working
Hi everyone. I have been developing an app for quite some time on a local
machine here (OS X 10.4) which at various times throughout its life it needs
to send out e-mails. I have been using Catalyst::Plugin::Email to send
those e-mails, using authenticated SMTP from an e-mail account I have with
Rackspace. My configuration looks like this:
__PACKAGE__-config-{email} = [
'SMTP',
'my.smtp.server',
username = 'MyUsername',
password = 'MyPassword',
];
Then in my app, whenever I need to send an e-mail, I use:
$c-email(
header = [
From= 'm...@mydomain.com Me',
To = 'em...@recipient.com',
Subject = 'The Subject.',
],
body = $body,
);
It's been working great during development, I get all the e-mails when they
are supposed to be going out. The problem is that now that I am getting
close to finished, I have done a test deployment to my public web server
(CentOS 5.2), and now e-mails no longer get sent. I have verified that
Catalyst::Plugin::Email is installed, and that I have the correct config
information. Everything else about the app runs, and when it comes to a
place where an e-mail should go out, it gets by it with no problem, but yet
I never receive the e-mails. Also, I am unable to find any error log entry
that might point me in the right direction.
So my question is, first of all, is there something blindingly obvious I
might be missing during deployment? Is there anything else that needs to be
installed for Catalyst::Plugin::Email to work that I might not have
installed - but yet would not cause the app to fail at startup? And
finally, where should I look for any clues as to what is going on (like
error logs, etc...)?
Thanks for any help!
