Re: [Ddclient-support] -{no}quiet send email

Hi,

To get yet your mail working, you could try to send an email using the
ddclient post-script option.  After my ddclient finishes updating my
favorite service, I do some extra tricks using the postscript and the
script mails me the result.

Looking at the code of ddclient it sends all the updates to mail adres,
and if the update failed, it sends the updates to the mail-failure
address.  If you really only want a messages when updating was done, you
should use a post-script.  Ddclient currently has no option to send only
correct updates.  Maybe I should add that to the documentation.

If you want a feature sending you a mail when ddclient updates, you
could try to find a perl developer to implement this feature.

No, that's not the way ddclient works.  Ddclient verifies the ip with
the one in its own cache before it decides to update.

If you find any perl developer, he can submit new patches if needed.
I'm trying to support ddclient with my best effort, and from time to
time, others in this list do the same.

Btw, I hope you're using the paid version of no-ip because they fail big
time when you're using an automatic updater on their free service.

If you want support about updating no-ip you could try a new tread about
your problem and add no-ip to the subject.  As far as I know, there is a
no-ip developer following the list for this kind of issues.
