Acme.sh: Report bugs to mail notify

[honzahommer]

This is the place to report bugs in the mail notify.

If you experience a bug, please report it in this issue.

Thanks!

Tried to use the new notify mail feature. Using latest acme.sh from git. mail command is installed

export MAIL_BIN="mail"
export MAIL_FROM="[email protected]"
export MAIL_TO="[email protected]"

then used this command to test

"/work/.acme.sh"/acme.sh --debug --cron --set-notify --notify-hook mail --notify-level 3 --notify-mode 1 --home "/work/.acme.sh"

which leads to

[Sat May 18 19:55:44 UTC 2019] Lets find script dir.

are there any extra steps needed for notify to work?

@jahlives This feature is waiting to be merged into master https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/pull/2259.

[jahlives]

Thanks will try with dev branch then

[honzahommer]

@jahlives Merged into master https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/pull/2272.

[zuexo]

Tried it with latest version from master branch and I get the following behavior.

Command used every time:
acme.sh --set-notify --notify-hook mail --debug

_1. try:_
account.conf

MAIL_FROM="[email protected]"
MAIL_TO="[email protected]"

Result:
```[Wed 22 May 2019 05:50:59 PM UTC] Lets find script dir.

[Wed 22 May 2019 05:51:00 PM UTC] mail send success.
[Wed 22 May 2019 05:51:00 PM UTC] mail Success

by running command I will receive email but Subject will be empty. And variables will be renamed to SAVED_MAIL_TO/FROM.

_2. try_
Without changing `account.conf` after first try, I've run the same command again and got the same output but this time I didn't receive email. Looking at log file from postfix, I can see that MAIL_FROM and MAIL_TO are not getting properly set.

_3. try_

export MAIL_FROM="acme.[email protected]"
export MAIL_TO="[email protected]"
```
setting ENV variables before running command, I get the same result as in the first try. (Subject is still empty)

_4. try_
export MAIL_BIN="mail"
Running command with MAIL_BIN set to "mail" I receive email and subject is NOT empty.

_5. try_
export MAIL_BIN="sendmail"
This time I get the same result as in the first try.

Conclusion:
Why MAIL_BIN = "sendmail" is not working is because function _mail_body is looking for variable $_MAIL_BIN, but this variable is declared in function _mail_cmnd which is executed after.

As to why FROM and TO variables are not working when they are read from account.conf with prefix SAVED_ I have to clue.

[raven-kg]

I tried it with ssmtp and it doesn't work
1: _MAIL_CMD=$(_mail_cmnd) does not insert $MAIL_TO into command string. Started to work after moving that string down, above "result=..."
2: $_MAIL_BODY does not contain subject and content type headers.

[honzahommer]

@zuexo @raven-kg Thanks for feedback. I'll look close to this issues tomorrow.

[Neilpang]

@honzahommer
Please make sure every command is working as expected.

[honzahommer]

@zuexo @raven-kg Please see https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/pull/2293.

[raven-kg]

@zuexo @raven-kg Please see #2293.
Still doesn't work with ssmtp. This is point 1 which I mentioned earlier - $MAIL_TO is not passed to ssmtp.

[zuexo]

@raven-kg Are you sure you tried with this file from #2293, because it's working for me and I had the same problem.

[raven-kg]

@zuexo Ooops! It's really works) Looks like I used one of old files. @honzahommer I apologize for the incorrect report above. I confirm that now everything is works fine for me.

A 'Renew Skipped' mail is sent daily even with NOTIFY_LEVEL='1' in account.conf. I tested options 1 and 2 but with the same result. Acme.sh version 2.8.2. For now, I'll add the parameters to the crontab. But I assume this should be used from the configuration file?

Can you please take a look at https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/issues/2837 ?

Thanks.

acme.sh v 2.8.6
mail.sh line 127 is missing an underscore. Should read
echo "Subject: $_subject"

I've just switched to ssmtp from mailgun and was wondering why I stopped getting a subject in my emails!
