trac mails are back on

[Dima Pasechnik]

Trac emails should work now (going via sendgrid.net). Please shout if something is not working.

Cheers,

Dima

Yes, thanks.

Why that?  I'm getting ugly HTML mails with obfuscated links (and of
course phishing attempt alerts).

GCE does not allow running smtp on the usual port 25. So one has to send via some 3rd party

smtp server.

We will set up domain whitelabeling, hopefully soon, to make these links etc normal...

Don't forget to include SendGrid in the SPF record for sagemath.org. The
"a:trac.sagemath.org" that is currently in there can probably be removed.

Thanks for taking care of it Dima!

Did you have to do anything special beyond what was in the documentation I linked you too? I'd like to add all the details about this to the documentation I've been compiling.

Also, all email related to the sagemathorg SendGrid account is going to my personal email. Perhaps there is a better address I can used, such as a shared account for sagemath-admin...?  (It ought not to be public though).

they did not mention flushing the mail queue, (postfix flush), IIRC.
So I did this as the last thing.

By the way, when I log in I see a message saying that the system needs a reboot.
Probably one should so 'apt-get upgrade' and then reboot.

I must say I don't know how persistent these VMs are, etc.; e.g.
whether a "normal" reboot can lead to data loss, how backups are made,
etc; I wish there was a quick way to find this out. Perhaps we can
talk about it in Bremen - I presume you are there next week, right?

Can one change this email at all? If yes, we can set up a special
small private googlegroup for this.

They are very persistent. In facet the disks on GCE are called "persistent disks".

 

how backups are made,

Currently there are automatic daily snapshots of the disk image (saved to google cloud storage).    I will also add a redundant backup system based on bup that gets offsited when things settle down.

Notifications now look sane again.

Thanks for fixing this!

Just got this error when saving changes to #18889:

closeWarning: The change has been saved, but an error occurred while sending notifications: expected string or buffer

Important?

Hello,

I got the same error yesterday after commenting (and Cc'ing some people) on #20908.
I don't know how to replicate this error though...
I worked on several tickets yesterday and only got this error with #20908.

David

[Dima Pasechnik]

I've updated #18889, and did not get any errors (changed the type from task to enhancement too...)

[Erik Bray]

Weird. I'll look in the Trac log and see if there's any more info on that.

"expected string or buffer" is a Python error that occurs when trying to call str() on something that isn't string-like. Probably a bug in Trac (or possibly the account manager plugin). There will probably be a full traceback in the log.
