email queue in 1.2

[mr.wizard]

I've just upgraded from 1.1.8 to 1.2.

In 1.1.8 I had email queuing set up, but in 1.2 it's not working.

I assume email queuing works differently in 1.2 but I can't find any instructions in the documentation or the forum.

[Kirill]

just check email-send settings.
Config are changed.

[mr.wizard]

I don't see any email settings - where should I be looking? On manage_config_email_page.php? In config_inc.php?

[mr.wizard]

In the administration guide it just says

$g_email_send_using_cronjob
TODO

[Kirill]

I speak about

Code: Select all

$g_phpMailer_method

[mr.wizard]

That just sets the method it uses to send the mail, not whether it's sent immediately or queued. In 1.1.8 I had queuing set up using these instructions: http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/m ... il_queuing

[atrol]

check the path of send_emails.php in your cron job
In 1.1.x the file could be found in directory <yourMantisBT>/core
In 1.2.0 can be found at <yourMantisBT>

BTW, why do you use queuing?

[mr.wizard]

Hm, looks like it was moved from <mantis>\core\ to <mantis>\scripts\

Was that announced anywhere?

I'm using queuing for the reasons stated in http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/m ... il_queuing - in case of Flaky Email Servers, Bad configuration and for Performance.

I don't know, I think not

I know the contents behind this link.
Do you have Falkey mail Servers, Bad configuration and Performance issues, or did you just setup the queuing because you read about possible problems?
I am asking, because another user seems to have found a bottleneck for the performance issues.

[mr.wizard]

Bad configuration is usually only a problem when setting it up for the first time - for example if relaying isn't set up properly the mail server rejects mail sent to it by Mantis.

As for flaky mail servers, our mail server does have problems occasionally, and we can't afford to have emails from mantis disappear.

In 1.1.8 we noticed a performance increase when we switched to queuing, but 1.2 seems pretty fast even with queuing disabled.

Thanks for your reply.
I just had a look at your interests in you profile
MantisBT will not be able to satisfy your number 2 and 5,
but if you would have the time the otheres can be.
For example contribute by providing a better error handling when there is no proper setup for emails, write some documentation, make some video where you show users how to setup MantisBT, ....
As you already noticed, this are the weaker parts of MantisBT (but there are enough good things)
Any contribution is welcome.

Concerning number 5:
Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis
especially at chapter "Reproduction and life history"
I think I gave you good advice ....
