zotonic email and yahoo

[Michael Connors]

Hi,

I have discovered that a couple of my sites that use Zotonic 0.7 are having trouble delivering email to yahoo.

- They are using relays.

- I don't have this problem with 0.6.

- I can send mail from both of the servers to a yahoo account via telnet. 

- Holds for all email sent from the site: Registration verification, mailing lists, contact form

Some emails are disappearing completely, while other show up eventually without a body.

Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone got any ideas on debugging it? 

Michael

Hi Again,

It appears that this email problem has gone away in Zotonic 0.8 dev. 

Does anyone know what the fix was? As I would like to backport it to 0.7.

I remember fixing it, don't exactly know when though. As currently I am sick and can't go through the logs.

The problem, as far as I can remember, was that yahoo wanted a newline after the last mime separator.

Strange.
There is no difference in gen_smtp between master and 0.7.x

The only difference between src/smtp between master and 0.7 is the
following:

ixion:~/devel> diff zotonic/src/smtp/ zotonic-0.7.x/src/smtp/
diff zotonic/src/smtp//z_email_server.erl
zotonic-0.7.x/src/smtp//z_email_server.erl
238,240c238,240
< [{relay, z_config:get(smtp_host, "localhost")},
< {port, z_config:get(smtp_port, 25)},
< {ssl, z_config:get(smtp_ssl, false)}]
---
> [{relay, z_config:get(smtp_host)},

< undefined ->
< case z_config:get(smtp_bounce_email_override) of
< undefined -> "noreply+"++MessageId;
< VERP -> z_convert:to_list(VERP)
< end;
< VERP ->
< z_convert:to_list(VERP)
---
> undefined -> "noreply+"++MessageId;
> VERP -> z_convert:to_list(VERP)

Does not seem related to this problem.

Hi,

It turns out I am not at the latest 0.7, as there were some changes that would not have been compatible with my site.

In order to fix it, I copied deps/gen_smtp/src/mimemail.erl back to my version.

Thanks,

Michael


PS Get well soon Marc.
