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.

Reviewboard + CentOS 5.3 + git -- problem with missing email notifications
Hi all, I have managed to set up Review Board 1.0 on CentOS 5.3. We are using it with git. It works great, except for one annoying problem -- it seems to be frequently (and apparently randomly) miss sending email messages. For example, when one submits a patch for review (and publishes it), Review Board is supposed to send out an email message to all the reviewers. My installation of Review Board seems to be only doing this occasionally. It is correctly configured to use sendmail. And it does occasionally send out the email notifications. However, when I take a look at my servers mail log file (/var/log/ maillog) I see that indeed, occasionally there is no trace of reviewboard to have even attempted to send out email messages. -- Is anybody else seeing this problem? -- How can I help diagnose this problem ? (perhaps by turning on debug flags etc, but how?) Thanks in advance! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "reviewboard" group.
