chiliproject email notifications error.

Added by chili peper at 2012-02-19 12:56 am

Hi,

i want to use email notifications but when trying to send test mail from settings/edit?tab=notifications i get following error in chili:

---
An error occurred while sending mail (501 5.1.7 Bad sender address syntax )
---

and in postfix's logfile:

---
postfix/smtpd31476: warning: Illegal address syntax from de.moon-station.us[1.2.3.4] in MAIL command: <[""]>
---

it seems that chiliproject is adding these [" at beginning and "] at the end of email address so postfix cannot parse and return error.

how can i fix that ?

my config/configuration.yml contains:

---
default: # Outgoing emails configuration (see examples above)
email_delivery:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: example.net
port: 25
domain: example.net
authentication: :plain
user_name: chiliproject
password: "xxxxxxxxx"
---

cheers !
