XmlRpcPlugin, Email for user required?

[Mo]

Hi,

I found the XmlRpcPlugin very useful and we started to automate some ticket changes by external scripts.
Therefore a new user "RpcUser" was introduced. This new user requires a mail adress.
Isn't it possible to create a user without a mail adress?
Now the scripts with that user are working, the new mail adress rpcuser@ourdomain doesn't exist. This leads to errors on ticket changes due to failed email notification to that adress.
So next step we could create that mailbox, which means we get a lot of email-notifications to that adress.
Is it possible to disable all that mail transfer to that adress or remove the mail-adress completely?

Best regards.

That is depended on the user management which you're using. Please describe it.

Please share the error message. What application does raise the error?

TracAccountManager with

[account-manager]
hash_method = HtDigestHashMethod
htdigest_file = /mnt/data/trac/projects/trac/trac.htdigest
htdigest_realm = trac
password_store = HtDigestStore

Yes, but that would disable notifications for all users.
For now I just disabled all rules for that user in /prefs/notification to see if the warning has gone...

Best regards.

Is there an error when removing the email address for RpcUser?

Yes, it is. But we need to know what error you are seeing when creating a user without an email address, or when deleting the email address for user RpcUser.

When creating a user in /admin/accounts/users without an email address, I get
Warning: You must specify a valid email address.
Afterwards the user has not been created.

But I was able to remove the email address from that user account. Thanks.
