Summary: #2091 - E-mail notofication does not work
Hi all, I have got a problem with e-mail notofication in task manager.
When I create new task and assign some user, this user is immediately notified by e-mail. It is OK, but I need to notify for example one day before start of the task.
So I fill in the beginning date and in the preferences I chose notification one day before. But nothing happened. No e-mail notify.
Could anybody help me to solve this?
Thanks
Tony Wagner

After upgrade to 1.8.001 and test I found, that nothing changed - egw shill doesn’t send email notofications…

Dear EGroupware user,
thanks for reporting bugs back to egroupware.org.
With the new release of EGroupware 1.8.001 we also fixed many bugs. So we kindly ask you to recheck your bug reports against the new version.
If you do not respond within the next 14 days, we assume the bug no longer exist and your report will be closed automatically.
Thanks for your understanding

To Paolo:
The Mail domain isn’t in the header setting, but it Setup/Config, but it doesn’t matter, because I have this field filled-in and email notification doesn’t work…

One of our custumers had the same problem.
Looking at the code and adding debugging messages I’ve found that egw uses as “From” address “noreply@mail_domain_for_virtual_mail_manger”:
–> etemplate/inc/class.bo_tracking.inc.php
–> function get_sender()
$sender = 'eGroupWare ‘.lang($this->app).’ ';
if “mail_suffix” isn’t setted the backend failes.
So go to your /setup header admin and set “Mail domain (for Virtual mail manager)” to something and it will work tm

Hallo Ralf,
Sorry for reopening this, but there is still some problem.
The backup works, reminders from calendar works, but notifications from infolog still doesn’t works.
I made 2 test tasks - (I will try to upload some pictures), both created on 22.05:
- start date 25.5., status Not started, Completed 0%, delegated to Ales
- start date 22.5., status Not started, Completed 0%, Due date 22.5., delegated to Ales
User Ales (and others) has the following (default) preferences:
Recieve notofy about own items: Yes
Recieve notofy about items assigned to you: Yes
Recieve notify about due entries you delegated: one day after
Recieve notify about due entries you are responsible for: one day after
Recieve notify about starting entries you delegated: one day in advance
Recieve notify about starting entries you are responsible for: one day in advance
But eGW didn’t sent any e-mail to Ales (I think that 2 emails should be sent: 24.5. for first task - one day in advance, 23.5. for second task - one day after). Am I right? Where should be mistake?
Thanks
Regards
Tony

Yeap, that’s correct. The check is only done once each day at midnight. It might be 2am, because eg. your system runs UTC and your user-time is CEST (central european summer time).
Deleting this bug now, as the issue does no longer exist - according to you.

Dear Ralf,
Thanks for info, it seem that I found a problem and now the testing emails was sent from asynservice to me. But I have one question: notify emails from infolog are sent only in 2:00 am ? Is it correct?
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
only other idea I have, why it should NOT work: you have to enable the notification in InfoLog prefs for the user, who should get the notification (not the one who created the task)!
Otherwise my only recommendation is to buy some support from us (www.stylite.de), so we can have a look directly on your installation - or dig into the code yourself

Dear Ralf (not Tony, sorry),
it really works, becouse the backup is done right under schedule, so I think that asynservice if OK. Please suggest what to check.
Thanks
Tony

Dear Tony,
thanks for info, but asynservice is planned and run every 5 minutes (it is on Vista and Xampp). Where could be else problem?
Thanks!

Hi Tony,
this has usually nothing to do with InfoLog, but with a not working async-service in your EGroupware install. Please check it under Admin >> Async services, it should use crontab under Linux or you need to manually install something similar for windows, see http://www.egroupware.org/wiki/TimedAsyncServices
