Emails and Error Logs not Working

[1icarus2]

Hi everyone,

I cannot for the life of me get the emails or the Error log to work. The error log is always empty, regardless if there was an error that occurred.

Also, the emails have successfully been set up, when I click on Test Email, the test email does send successfully, but whenever I create an issue, and with the "notify user" option ticked, it never sends any emails.

Is there something in the configuration that I could have missed? I did make sure that I follow the instructions on how to install BugNet successfully.

I suffered the same issue.

Email notifications are not sent to the user making the changes. If you sign in as another user and make some changes you are subscribed to you will get some notifications.

I indeed subscribed the issue , but when the issue is changed no mail is received.

Also, when I register a new user and choose the "Random Password" option, the user doesn't receive an email of Registration. Is this by design, or maybe a bug?

As for the log, how can I get that to work? When initially trying to set up the SMTP server, I tried my normal mail SMTP relay, mail.myserver.com, and it kept failining... I ended up using Localhost, which worked, but the message stated that I should look in the logs for more details, of which my logs are always emtpy.

I am feeling that, it only works for the local SMTP server, but if we setup an external SMTP server, e.g. smtp.someserver.com, if it fails.

@1icarus2 The random password function you are seeing is by design and there is further discussion here on that https://github.com/dubeaud/bugnet/issues/168

@kevinlihai if it is working locally then maybe the configuration is wrong for your remote server. Have you tried telnet to the mail port to ensure you can contact it. Check to ensure the web.config isn't sending email to a local folder

<system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">
        <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="C:\Email" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

Please make this a configurable option for each user to select (in their account admin panel or where it makes the most sense) that defaults to the current behavior. Thanks.
