[Trac] Re: Dealing with up-and-down mail servers

[Jeff Rodenburg]

Thanks Jason, I'm running in a nix configuration.  My issue deals with remote connectivity -- or the intermittent lack thereof between installations.  By server being "down" what I'm really pointing to is unavailability due to network.  It's not a problem I can solve from the mail server perspective.

thanks,
j

Usually in a *nix environment you can set up a mail server like exim4 to listen only on localhost, which is pretty much guaranteed not to fail (at least due to connection problems).

 

If its mail queue is set up properly it will do resends and such for you, so even if the server is down at the time it will try again later, regardless of what Trac is doing, so you get reliable and instant email "for free" as far as Trac is concerned.

 

If you are running on Windows I don't know if there is a similar method to use there…

Subject: [Trac] Dealing with up-and-down mail servers

 

I've got mail notification configured on my trac server, but we're experiencing some intermittent connectivity issues with the mail server.  When the mail server goes down, trac entries are of course saved but hang for the user while it tries to spiral out the notifications.

Is there a fix or adaptation I can make that lets the mail notification timeout after "x" number of seconds?

cheers,
j
