Any help with email notification script please? making me crazy....

[johnbot]

I have added the default email notification script to the retrospect.exe folder and have edited the mail server and email address fiields. I can tell retrospect runs the script when starting and exiting but i fail to receive any mail. ugh. I have also tested the smtp im using from the backup server just to be sure. Why am i not receiving these notifications????? Here is the notification.bat config... (just the actual server and email settings). Does anyone have any idea about this?

 

Thanks

John

REM -------- Begin Email Group Properties -------------------------------------

REM You need to edit the following email group properties.

 

REM Put your mail server here

set kMailServer="smtp-server.domain.com" - this server does work from the backup machine

 

REM Email address of the sender

set kMailSender="sender name<jflilley@domain.com>"

 

REM To send mail to more than one person, enter the addresses separated by

REM semicolons, for example:

REM "name one<jflilley@domain.com>;name two<jflilley@domain.com>"

 

REM These recipients will get emails for all events

set kMainGroup="name one<jflilley@domain.com>"

 

 

REM These recipients will get emails only when fatal errors occur

set kFatalErrorGroup=""

 

REM These recipients will get emails when there is no fatal error

set kSuccessGroup=""

 

REM These recipients will get emails only when Retrospect needs new media

set kMediaRequestGroup=""

 

REM The following is the time at which the MediaRequest message is sent.

REM The time unit must be in 5 minute increments and the minimum value is 5 minutes.

set MediaRequestNotificationTime="5"

I had a problem with the name portion of the email address.

rather than: set kMainGroup="name one<jflilley@domain.com>"

I would use jflilley@domain.com or put it in brackets if you want. For me it did not work

to have the "name one" part in there. Even though that is what thier examples had.

 

I had a working script but upgrading to 6.5 broke it and I have not had a chance to figure

out why it broke.
