Re: Reviewboard + CentOS 5.3 + git -- problem with missing email notifications
Hi,
There's no logging of e-mail, but you could add it if you wanted to try.
You'd need to modify your reviewboard/reviews/email.py and at the top add:
import logging
And then in send_review_mail, before the message.send(), do:
logging.info("Sending e-mail with subject '%s' from '%s' to '%s', CC '%s'\n"
% (subject, from_email, to_field, cc_field)
Then restart your web server, go into your admin settings -> Logging and
specify a filename to log to that the web server can write to.

Re: Reviewboard + CentOS 5.3 + git -- problem with missing email notifications
Hi Christian, Thank you for your response. Is there DEBUG flag or logging that I can enable that will provide me some visibility as to what review board is doing when it is supposed to send out email (but is not)? Currently, the only visibility I have is looking at my sendmail log file (/var/log/maillog)... and when I look at that file, I see reviewboard is just behaving erratically -- sometimes it sends email, and sometimes it doesnt. --Joyjit On Jul 24, 2:42 pm, Christian Hammond wrote: > Hi, > > This is not a problem I've heard of before with Review Board.

Re: Reviewboard + CentOS 5.3 + git -- problem with missing email notifications
Hi, This is not a problem I've heard of before with Review Board. The only times people have reported issues with sending e-mail, it turned out to be a configuration problem on the mail server software. It's possible it's rejecting those e-mails for some reasons (not trusting the From: we put in or something). For all mail sending, we go through Django's mail API, which in turn uses Python's built-in smtplib mail code. So any problem in actual transmission would either have to be in Python (which I sort of doubt) or the mail server. Unfortunately, I don't have any real ideas off-hand as to why you'd hit this. Maybe somebody else has had this problem and will respond.
