[ZendTo] Re: Zendto and notification email on new dropoff created by local authenticated user or anonymous user

Fri Aug 6 16:51:22 BST 2010

Yes. The mail comes *from* the person who made the dropoff, not a fixed
arbitrary (and useless) address. So the problem will be your mail relay
accepting mails coming from people who leave dropoffs, who may not be
users at yourdomain.com. So check that your mail relay will accept mail
coming from your IP addresses as well as mail coming from users who are
@yourdomain.com.  

	 The first thing I checked was the sendmail log locally, I see
notations in the sendmail log for the email going out for confirmation
emails from anonymous dropoffs.
	 Nothing for notifications on newly dropped off files.

	My access file allows all local relaying

	Connect:localhost.localdomain      RELAY
	Connect:localhost                  RELAY
	Connect:127.0.0.1                  RELAY

	For example here is the sendmail log on an anonymous dropoff:

	Aug  6 10:49:15 localhost sendmail[10842]: o76FnFML010842:
from=apache, size=694, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<201008061549.o76FnFML010842 at localhost.localdomain>,
relay=apache at localhost
	Aug  6 10:49:15 localhost sendmail[10843]: o76FnFUK010843:
from=<apache at localhost.localdomain>, size=929, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<201008061549.o76FnFML010842 at localhost.localdomain>, proto=ESMTP,
daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]
	Aug  6 10:49:15 localhost sendmail[10842]: o76FnFML010842:
to=brianmduncan at gmail.com, ctladdr=apache (48/48), delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30694, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1],
dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (o76FnFUK010843 Message accepted for delivery)
	Aug  6 10:49:16 localhost sendmail[10845]: o76FnFUK010843:
to=<brianmduncan at gmail.com>, ctladdr=<apache at localhost.localdomain>
(48/48), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=120929,
relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. [74.125.95.27], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
(OK 1281109757 o3si3782848ibo.78)

	That was the email that went out to brianmduncan at gmail.com for
the confirmation, after I drop off the file, there is no attempt to send
another email out through sendmail.

	It happens when you call the 2 rrd scripts too close to each
other.
	Your root crontab should say this, so they stay well apart from
each other (they were on the same command-line in earlier releases by
mistake):

	5 0 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/cleanup.php
/opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
	2 10 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdInit.php
/opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
	2 12 * * * root /usr/bin/php /opt/zendto/sbin/rrdUpdate.php
/opt/zendto/config/preferences.php
