wifi email issue about diva-distribution HOT 9 CLOSED

See http://wiki.github.com/diva/d2/wifi
If you want to use gmail, you just need to get an account there for this purpose. Then provide the user name and password in the obvious config vars -- in MyWorld.ini

thanks for your quick response! i have a gmail account ... and the data are correct but my server has no mail server setup so how can it send email? that was my question: do i need citadel or postfix or something like it?

from diva-distribution.

no. Wifi talks to gmail directly.
Why? Is email not being sent? Or is this just for your understanding?

from diva-distribution.

no email was sent as far as i'm aware but i will now try this again to be sure...will come back then. pls leave thread open. cheers!

which mono version do you have?

from diva-distribution.

mono 2.4.4

from diva-distribution.

I have one of my systems on 2.4.3 and it sends email. 2.4.2.x doesn't.
Make sure the certificates were correctly installed.
But yes, mileage with sending mail over mono may vary. The only solution I have for this is to use an SMTP server that accepts connections on port 25.

Let me know what else you find.

from diva-distribution.

to be precise, i use

linux-server$ mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 2.4.4 (Debian 2.4.4~svn151842-1ubuntu4)

as for the issue: i don't get email. i don't have an SMTP either. the certificate commands (acc. to your WIFI.txt guide) went through OK. creation of avatar / approval all worked fine. since i didn't get an email i simply used your brilliant Wifi interface...i'm only using this for friends, family and collaborators so i won't get overrun i am sure with requests... cheers

Diva, thanks for your efforts. I am using the most recent distribution r25084 and have completed the setup. I provided gmail credentials. When sending mail, I receive a nice big yellow exception. 'Exception on sending mail to [email protected]', 'An invalid character was found in the mail header '@'. Any idea on what to do here?
