[cvsnt] How to invoke internal mailer

Mon Dec 15 10:58:46 GMT 2008

in the trace I get aemail_trigger: no file

somehow cvsnt did not find the users file. have removed the file completely from the server
and added it again. now it can find the usernames (without domain) and replace it with 
the email address.

now I get the email unfortunately also get an SMTP error.  501. In the trace log I see that
the email tries to send out twice.

First time it is send out , only the From address [email] is expanded and the To address
is set to [to_user]@mydomain.invalid (mydomain.invalid in the trace is my correct domain)

I found some code here
http://cvsnt.sourcearchive.com/documentation/2.5.03.2382-3.3/email__trigger_8cpp-source.html
and in line 1091 I see that there most likely is a parsing bug in the printf.
Was it meant to have <%s@%s> instead of <s@%s> ??

m_sock.printf("RCPT TO:<s@%s>\r\n",to[n].c_str(),emaildomain);
                       ^^^

The second time the to address is correctly parsed to my real email address and that's the
email I get.

If I only tag a revision, I see in the trace that the mailer is invoked only once. 
The [to_user] is not expanded correctly in the TO field, and because upon tag I see in the
trace that the mail is sent only once, the SMTP session ends with an error after the
to field (invalid address) thus no mail is sent. Could this be the reason that it looks that
the internal mailer only works on notify mails ?

If the user does not match in the CVSROOT/users file then  it falls back
on cvsuser at defaultdomain.

You need to find out why the name is not matching - read the trace as I
suggested earlier.  Most likely you are using domains and you are not
including that, eg:

DOMAIN\35bsw:my-email at invalid.com
