UniServer Zero Controller Menu > General > Mail Utility msmtp

[AboutUtila]

Installation:

Server OS: Windows XP SP3 (with latest updates as at 21-Sep-2013)

UniServer Zero Modules installed:

Zero_apache_2_4_6-1_0_1e.exe

Zero_documentation_1_0_6.exe

Zero_mysql_5_5_33.exe

Zero_php_5_3_27-1_0_1e.exe

Problem Description:

In general, no significant problems - great product, thank you.

 

Except problems with Mail Utility msmtp when trying to run it from the controller application, Menu > General > Mail utility msmtp > Send Mail (button).

Problem is: No mail is sent, no C:\UniServerZ\core\msmtp\msmtp.log file is created.

(I had previously appropriately edited C:\UniServerZ\core\msmtp\msmtprc.ini using Menu > General > Mail utility msmtp > Edit configuration file and double checked that the edits had been saved, and stopped and restarted the controller)

Sending mail using C:\UniServerZ\core\msmtp\Send_test_email.bat works as expected (does not matter if Apache Server is running or not running)

Sending mail using a PHP script works as expected when Apache Server is running.

 

Diagnostics:

(1) Edited C:\UniServerZ\core\msmtp\Send_test_email.bat and changed the line,

msmtp --file=%cd%\msmtprc.ini user_name@target_email_address -t < %TEMP%\temp.mail

such that 'user_name@target_email_address' was a valid email address

(2) Ran the file Send_test_email.bat from the Windows command prompt

(3) Everything worked as expected, log file created (and contents shown in controller General > Mail utility msmtp > log file

(4) Tried again to Send Mail using the controller General > Mail utility msmtp > Send Mail, but nothing appears to happen

(5) From the controller Apache Utilities > Server Console

executed;

 

C:\UniServerZ>msmtp.exe -P
ignoring system configuration file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\msmtprc.txt: No such file or directory
ignoring user configuration file C:\UniServerZ\msmtprc.txt: No such file or directory
falling back to default account
msmtp.exe: account default not found: no configuration file available

C:\UniServerZ>msmtp.exe -S
msmtp.exe: account default not found: no configuration file available

 

Thank you.

Thanks for a very informative post. You have highlighted a bug, which I can confirm. The bug in the controller in addition I found minor issues with Send_test_email.bat and msmtprc.ini

 

These have been corrected in the new controller Zero_Controller_10_2_4.exe

Download the new controller and give it a spin.

 

All the best
