Title: Emails
Post by oldmacdonald on 10/30/06 at 20:29:08

Hi - This is the problem.

I set up an auction in 161.
I test the auction with two bidders against the item.
When one outbids the other I get an email to that address within seconds.
When the auction is over the emails are sent out within seconds?minutes OK

I set up the same auction in 162
I test the auction with two bidders
When one outbids the other the email takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach the bidder
When the auction is over it is the same 45 minutes to 1 hour

I am using the same email addresses in both auctions.

Perhaps this break down will help in solving this problem

Many thanks for all your help . . . . .

So let me explain it again ...
it seems as if the mail queue (that's a part of your server software) is worked off only in hour (or 45 minute) time.

HI Dieter - thanks for your reply - I could understand this if the two versions were on different servers, but they are both on the same. . . . . thanks for your help . . . .

Mr. oldmacdonald,

MAY need to reconfig the sendmail settings.
I had to make the following modifications because it was taking 20 minutes to send any emails.

SEARCH FOR ALL OCCURANCES OF THE FOLLOWING::

Code:

($config{'mailprog'} = "$sm -oi -t -odq") AND
$config{'mailprog'} && ($config{'mailprog'} .= ' -oi -t -odq');

CHANGE TO

Code:

($config{'mailprog'} = "$sm -oi -t -oeq") AND
$config{'mailprog'} && ($config{'mailprog'} .= ' -oi -t -oeq');

:) Hi again - I changed the code and it certainly made a difference - no problem now with the emails. PS Were there just the two lines in 162 that needed changing or have I missed some? . . . . thanks again . . . Mac

Sorry I missed your earlier postings but glad your problem is now resolved.
If my notes are correct I found occurrences of the code in the following files:
eAsetup.pl line 292
eAsetup.pl line 317
Regards,
mars
