Hi again, :)
I set up email using the sendEmail command, with these arguments: -f %f -t %t -u %s -m %b -a %l -s %v -xu myuserid -xp mypassword -o timeout=300
I am still getting this response: command: sendEmail
exit code: 0
output: Process operation timed out
I was going to set the timeout even larger, but then I actually timed
a test, and discovered that I am still getting the timeout message
after 10 seconds. Apparently this option is not doing what I expected
it to do.
do you use ssl too ?
if yes, could you please also add ** -o tls=yes ** as an argument and double check that you have defined the correct port at the smtp server field
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
As far as I can tell there is no ssl involved. My ISP web page
just says this:
It's in Hebrew, but the smtp line reads Outgoing mail server (requires authentication).
No mention of ssl. And, occasionally, my email has actually been sent.
So I think the other settings are correct, and I am just wondering why
the larger timeout time seems to be ignored.
Thank you again,
Shimon

I did some testing and for a start confirmed that when trying to connect to bezeqint, no matter how big the timeout value is, sendemail stops waiting after 10sec.
As you have already noticed:

I read about it here:

Is there something I am still doing wrong?
As always, thank you very much!

Please excuse my late reply Shimon.
I did some testing and for a start confirmed that when trying to connect to bezeqint, no matter how big the timeout value is, sendemail stops waiting after 10sec.
As you have already noticed:
If this value is less than 10, sendemail will exit before the 10 seconds
eg:
I tried to figure out why this is happening but with no luck.
Unfortunately I cannot help more on this issue
And I was worse! I let a month go by without checking back...
If I understand correctly, this is a bug in sendEmail,
over which you have no control?
correct, this is sendEmail's behavior
