Hello Two problems. First, I have no experience whatsoever with the mail system, but I need to use it for a request/notification system. (when the status of a run changes to what a user wanted it to change to, the user gets an email). The email is not being sent. I set up email like this:
from gluon.tools import Mail mail = Mail() mail.settings.server = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000' mail.settings.sender = '[email protected]' Then I call this method in my index function, which is being accessed every time a run is updated, to check for updates, and wee if they match: def check_reqnot(): for row in db().select(db.request_notification.ALL): if not row.notified: if row.notify_when == db.run[row.run].status: row.notified = True mail.send('[email protected]', 'WOW!', 'It Worked! (HOLY CRAP)') response.flash = 'It should have worked' It should be working, because when the status matches the request, I see the flash response, but the email is not sent (yes, I checked my junk mail folder). The other odd thing is that notified stays false. For reference here is the request_notification table: db.define_table('request_notification', Field <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/Field>('run', db.run, requires = IS_NOT_EMPTY <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/IS_NOT_EMPTY>()), Field <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/Field>('notify_when', requires = IS_IN_SET <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/IS_IN_SET>(['Requested', 'In Proccess', 'Completed'])), Field <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/Field>('notified', 'boolean', default = False, readable = False), Field <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/Field>('user_signature', db.auth_user, compute = lambda row: auth.user_id)) And the relevant field form the run table: Field <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/Field>('status', requires = IS_EMPTY_OR <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/IS_EMPTY_OR>(IS_IN_SET <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/IS_IN_SET>(['Requested', 'In Proccess', 'Completed']))), --
