texte = Thanks for the reply Chris- So, if nothing is showing up at all in the EMailFolder, is it a permissions problem? Owner and Group for that folder is www-data:www-data and permissions are 755 ???

Here is how WebDNA works to send email: WebDNA writes the mail to be sent in /EMailFolder. There is only 1 thread sending email unless someone has sandboxing turned on (version 6.2). The email thread sleeps for X ticks, then wakes up, runs through the EMailFolder, processes one single acceptable mail by forwarding it to a SMTP server, adds a log entry in /EMailLog and moves the mail to /EMailCompleted, then sleeps for X ticks, and repeats. Acceptable means that the filename ends in the word "done". Processing the mail means the mail is sent through port 25 to either a localhost SMTP server or an external one. It will only process one email file for each sleep/wake cycle. So if the main thread starts to write a new email file while the email thread is in the middle of a waking cycle, it does not matter. It will be ignored until the main thread renames it to end in "done", at which point the email thread will consider it during the next wake cycle. - chris On Nov 11, 2013, at 9:20 PM, William J.
