Can you use Elmah with gmail?

[bulleti...@gmail.com]

Can you use Elmah with gmail? Below is my webconfig file. What I
have below is not sending the email. I am able to successfully log
the error in my SQL Server DB. I am using the latest version of
Elmah.

Turn on standard ASP.NET tracing to see what may be going wrong. If there is an error with sending the error mail itself then ELMAH sends it to the trace output that you can then inspect, for example, using trace.axd,

Have you also tried sending to non-gmail accounts? Has that worked?

I turned on the Tracing.  I see no errors in the Trace.  What am I supposed to be looking for?  I see no reference to the email address and settings set up in the WebConfig file. 

I tried using a Yahoo account.  Received same results (which is nothing).

Thanks for your help -

Hello,

If you haven't found a solution yet...

I was having the same problem. The issue is that ELMAH apparently
doesn't support SSL and GMail requires it. Or at least, I couldn't
figure out how to make ELMAH work with SSL out of the box.

I found out about this through this article (http://
www.methodicmadness.com/2008/12/elmah-error-logging-and-secure-smtp.html).
The article explains a quick source code tweak that I tried that
worked beautifully for me.

Hope it helps.

Hi there!

This was raised as issue #80 (http://code.google.com/p/elmah/issues/
detail?id=80) with a supplied patch.
Atif has integrated this into the trunk, and the parameter is now
"useSsl".

The trunk is very stable, and you can download it with a SubVersion
client at http://code.google.com/p/elmah/source/checkout

However, I think Atif is going to be doing a full 1.0 release very
soon, and that will have everything you need in it!!

Cheers,

James

It has gone 1.0 now.

Scott Mitchell has recently posted a nice and detailed blog entry on how to set-up ELMAH to mail to Gmail:
