Description David Williams CLA 2010-09-23 12:46:44 EDT
For the Sim. Rel. aggregation builds, but b3 aggregator sends its own mail message, based on its best guess as to who caused a build to fail. 

Just after moving the aggregation job over to a slave and giving it a test, I still got the failed notice from Hudson, but have not yet seen the mail sent by b3 aggregator ... so makes me think maybe mail or sendmail or what ever ... is not installed on the Hudson slaves. Is it? 

Keep in mind, I know next to nothing about sending mail ... perhaps I need to configure something differently? Perhaps some port opened?
Comment 1 David Williams CLA 2010-09-23 13:50:09 EDT
I see the b3 aggregator has some options to specify a mail host besides "localhost". Will that be expected to work? What would that be? build.eclipse.org? eclipse.org? port 25? 


= = = =

--smtpHost 	 <host name> 	 localhost 	 The SMTP host to talk to when sending emails. Defaults to "localhost".

--smtpPort 	<port number> 	25 	The SMTP port number to use when talking to the SMTP host. Default is 25.

The slaves have been configured to relay their mail through mail.eclipse.org.  Just send it locally (localhost) and you'll be fine.
Comment 3 David Williams CLA 2010-09-23 14:45:21 EDT
ok ... guess those mail items have just been delayed or something? 
(or did you mean you just configured them). 
Feel free to close as fixed or invalid depending on answer ... and I'll reopen if mails don't show up within a few hours.

I have just configured them.  In fact, I saw a few (delayed) emails go out to you.

to=<david_williams@us.ibm.com>, relay=mail.eclipse.org[172.25.25.51]:25, delay=14645

That specific email was on slave2 and I verified it was accepted by your (IBM) mail server successfully.

This seems to be working now. 

Thanks! 

(and glad I could help ... I hope someone is taking notes :)
