SID-00420: MailNotify: finds changed pages, no notifications created

I'm trying to run mail notification but no notification messages are created:

Test: sudo -u webuser perl -I /path/to/twiki/bin mailnotify TestWeb

Output:

Processing TestWeb
%MAKETEXT{"This is . . . -lots of text - . . .%SYSTEMWEB%.WikiName"}%

   * asd334@curnall.edu: *

%INCLUDE{"%SYSTEMWEB%.WebChangesAlert"}%
   Last notification was at 2009-07-15T20:38:17Z
   Change to WebHome at 2009-07-15T20:30:29Z. New revision is 26   
   0 change notifications from TestWeb

What I tried / checked:

• The .changes files are updated and owned by webuser
• Looking through answered questions I tried to add <br /> to WebNotify but no change
• The twiki is sending registration E-mails
• Files are being written to and updated in working/work_areas/MailerContrib/ whenever mailnotify is called
• No warnings or log messages when mailnotify is called

Any ideas? - Thx

Discussion and Answer

Is the user subscribed to the notifications the same one that's doing the changes to the topic?

• NO. I made changes as another user, then called mailnotify. The result was the same ( 0 change notifications from TestWeb) -- MarcBerthoud - 2009-08-03

Try using a twiki username instead of an email address for the subscriber. If this works and you still need to subscribe with a email directly, in the site settings or configure or mailer contrib topic there is a rule to allow this. It is disabled by default and emails go only to usernames.

• That worked - THX - The setting is in configure under MailerContrib. -- MarcBerthoud - 2009-08-05
