We've got a problem in which mail is not sent from forrestbot when a
run in completed. The build and upload work fine. The build file has
the following properties:
<property name="notify.email.host" value="smtp.ox.ac.uk"/>
<property name="notify.email.to" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
<property name="notify.administrator" value="Stuart Yeates"/>
The machine can connect to smtp.ox.ac.uk on port 25 via telnet, so
that's not the issue.
The output (stdout) is:
notify.email:

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Does anyone know how to turn
debugging on in org.apache.commons.net (which appears to be where
things are going wrong)?
Do you have the "notify.on.failure" etc. set in your forrestbot
descriptor? I suppose yes, or it wouldn't be trying to send the mail.
Our docs say that some mailers need "notify.email.from".
http://forrest.apache.org/tools/forrestbot.html#notify.email
The forrestbot on our zone has "notify.email.host" as "localhost".
Our descriptors are in our SVN if that helps for examples:
http://forrest.apache.org/zone.html
Try a test to ensure that you can send mail direct from the
command-line on your server, as the user which runs forrestbot.
That is all that i can think of for now.
I tried adding these properties, to no avail.
I eventually bit the bullet and installed an MTA (postfix) on the
machine and changed the notify.email.host to localhost. Everything
worked instantly.
The two smtp hosts I tried to connect to are both quite aggressive
in anti-spam measures, so maybe the roots lie there.
Could you please drop this into our issue tracker [1] with a link to
this thread in the archives [2].
