i posted this a couple of times in the main dynamix thread without much luck so i'm bringing it out here for some exposure.

 

my ssmtp settings are OK.

 

echo -e "Subject: a test\n\nThis is the email body." | ssmtp -d root

 

the above command sends me an email just fine.

 

sending a test email via the smtp settings page in dynamix works fine, but i am not getting any emails.. is there something wrong with my settings? i know before there was an issue where sending address and recpient was reversed, is this still the case (not sure it matters as i've tried multiple different combinations)? any ideas?

 

 

Do you tried filling the 'Email recipients' and Error recipients' with a valid Email address?  (It can be the same as the sending address.)

 

Turn on the 'Debug' option on the 'SMTP Settings' tab and post a syslog which shows at least twenty four hours after you change the settings.

Be sure to redact login credentials before you post it.

Yes, YES, YES!!!  And that redaction should also include the gobbledygook that is a part of the handshaking with your email provider.  (Your password is contained in there!)

i have ssmtp debug on but when i send a test email it doesn't post anything in my syslog aside from the final line..

 

Jan 14 20:08:00 Tower sSMTP[22506]: Sent mail for [email protected] (221 2.3.0 Bye received. Goodbye.) uid=0 username=root outbytes=461

 

i've tried setting and unsetting it from that page.

That is EXACTLY what I get when my 5.6 server successfully sends a message.  I suspect you are having a problem with either your receiving email client or your email provider.  Have you checked your spam folder.  Also verify what your email provider does with message sent from yourself to yourself.  (In any cases, this is often considered to be evidence of some sort of a security breach.)

i'm sorry, that line i posted was from whenever i do a test email. the test email goes through OK but even with debug on, that's the only line in my syslog. i don't get the full output.

 

for the notification emails, which i set as every hour, i only get the following message in my syslog:

 

Jan 16 22:44:48 Tower sSMTP[23587]: Connection lost in middle of processing

 

test email via dynamix is working, smtp command (echo -e "Subject: a test\n\nThis is the email body." | ssmtp -d root) is working so i know the settings are right but the actual notification is failing. what do you guys have as the recipent/sending address on your notification setup?

OK, what I have in my setup is that ALL three e-mail addresses are the same.  I seem to remember that there is some issue with e-mail not sending to different addresses and I also seem to recall that that e-mail for ver 5.0.X would completely reworked after Dynamix is working in ver 6.0.  Perhaps, someone else can provide some more definitive information.
