Notification SMTP Password

[iamola]

My password includes "#" but that isnt allowed for the SMTP password. Why?
This might be a bug.

Hi iamola,


Indeed, the character '#' is not allowed in the notification menu and if smtp servers allow it, it is a bug.

We use the same password check than this one for FTP, dropbear and apache where '#' is not allowed for one of them (but I don't remember which one :whistle )

Currently, the authorized characters for password are: a-z A-Z 0-9 ! % ~ _ / ^ [ ] @ $ . + - and ' ' (space)

Temporary, you can try this :
- put a default password in the related field
- save your changes
- with Putty, edit the file /rw_fs/etc/mailfvdw-sl.conf: change the 2d line with your right password.

Now, need to find a list of authorized chars for smtp server :whistle

Hi iamola,

I updated the mailer feature for version 15.3.

As each smtp server sets its authorized characters list, I changed how the feature checks the password in Notification menu :
- Now any characters is allowed
- Escape all special character for linux
So with this change you should be able to use '#'.

I also fixed some issues with gmail accounts : sometimes the email is not sent if the gmail server doesn't answer quickly.

In your pm, I sent you a patch file to test it.
You must use it with the upload patch menu :
- create a share fvdw if you don't do yet
- save the patch in this share
- goto the upload patch menu : select the file and use as control key 'unzip'

Thank to post here your feedback.

Great, just saw this. Going to test it out tonight thanks!

This was not fixed for everyone. Patch not added to 17.0

Hi Iamola,

Need to deepen how we lost the patch change when we release version 17.0 :scratch

[Jocko]

Hi iamola,

Indeed since version 16.1, the firmware escapes non longer the password and then you can not use some special characters...

a patch is coming soon

[Jocko]

It is done.

I don't know why but we did not re-use some files on version 16.1 and 17.0 :scratch

Patch is available here : https://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t ... 944#p25944

Note: with this version you can use all charater
