[ZendTo] UPDATE - "Request a DropOff" email isn't sending

If I replace the req.php file with the req.php from 5.13, the request sends.

However, when the recipient clicks on the link the page fails (as there is a lot more going on in the 6.13.3 version).

Something must somehow be broken in the req.php but it hasn’t been modified at all.  Maybe something in the email template but I’m pretty sure that is stock as well.  I’ll start digging into that.

Thanks, every little bit of info helps!

External email, exercise caution.


Can't really add anything to this except I built a new box about 3wks ago, and the request dropoff feature seems to work for me.


I logged in as my local user, requested a dropoff to my gmail account, the zendto log logs correctly and my gmail received the email.

2024-01-23 15:11:22 <ipaddress> [ZendTo]: Info: request-for-dropoff email delivered successfully from <me>@bolton.ac.uk to <me>@gmail.com

Version is 6.13-3 I think.

WARNING: This message originated from outside the University. Use caution when following links or opening attachments.

Even more weirdness.



If I “Resend Request” from within the request, the email goes out just fine and it shows up in the system log.



I tried testing with SMTPDebug in preferences.php, but that ONLY works with the “Resend Request” button when you are looking at the details of the request (per the comments in preferences.php you can only test with the “Resend Request” button).  However, when I do this test it shows the complete conversation with the mailserver, as it should.



Just thought I’d add this extra info.

Are you using an internal smart host or other mail system?

It might be seeing the external addresses and refusing to “relay” them…

See if there are any logs on the mail system they are being forwarded to…

Yep.  Just not for a “Request a Drop-off”.



Strange, right?  They never hit my mail server and as I said, they don’t show in the system log.  You get the resulting page with the drop off codes so it looks like it sends and the request shows in All Drop-offs but no email ever goes out.

        So emails get sent with regular drop-offs?

        Howdy, all!



        We can drop off files just fine but if we send a request for a drop off the email never gets sent and nothing other than the user authentication (of the person logging in to send the request) shows up in the system log.



        This is a new server that I built on Ubuntu a month or so ago.



        Any thoughts?
