Here is a nasty bug i encountered in my backup script. I told you about this problem on IRC and found the problem is in log4r. Here is the mail logs which were the start of my understanding: Apr 8 00:54:03 Daneel postfix/smtpd[14751]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Apr 8 00:59:03 Daneel postfix/smtpd[14751]: timeout after EHLO from localhost[127.0.0.1] Apr 8 00:59:03 Daneel postfix/smtpd[14751]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] In this example, my script started at 00:54:03 and finished at 01:04:51. The emailoutputter is opening a connexion with: @smtp = Net::SMTP.start([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in the constructor and flushing the mail when i explicitely call the flush() method, at the end of my processing. Fact is Net::SMTP.start is opening a connexion, sending the EHLO, and then hold it opened until you send data and close it. When the processing is longer than 5 minutes, the smtp server close the connexion and the mail is never sent ; not even an exeption is raised when the flush is requested. The emailoutputter can still do a simple check in the constructor, but the connexion should be closed, and reopened later when flushing. Regards. -- Marc Dequènes (Duck)
