upgrade from v1.77 to v1.77b solves longstanding cgi bugs

[help]

Finally, after a very long time, I recently upgraded to version 1.77b.   Instantly, it solved all the bounce.cgi and signup.cgi bugs that I could not solve in the past.   Many thanks to Dean.   Now with a server that allows SSH server access, wget installed, the scripts seem to work flawlessly ... except one remaining minor problem.  

The "remote test address" is not receiving the TEST message indicating that all scripts are working.   The admin address does receive the test message.

Are you using SMTP?  If so, and if (of course) the remote address is actually a remote address, you may not be authenticated properly.  Sometimes a setting of "localhost" with no additional authorization works.  If not, you'll need to enable AUTH and set your username and password.  The "check email before sending" method is not commonly used.

Yes, I am using SMTP and AUTH is enabled.  And I just independently (outside of the config panel) sent from the admin address to the remote address to be sure.  It works

Here is my verification message after all checks work perfectly:

The server successfully received and relayed the test message to a remote address.

This most likely means that SMTP is configured correctly.


But no mail is sent to the "remote address" via the config panel.

I know this is a minor problem -- but why?

thanks for the help

Try setting up the remote address on a test list and sending an email to it.

All works perfectly as suggested.  I set up a new contact which is the "remote address" and all "subscription" notices were sent and received perfectly.

Here is the header from my host:
Received: from source ([66.33.xxx.xx]) by exprod5mx124.postini.com ([12.158.xx.xxx]) with SMTP;

if that helps.

Sorry, and with great respect, I think this is another minor bug.  Luckily it is not fatal nor important.  But there is a reason that the "final test" is not completing.

with gratitude.

Dean,

Ah, mea culpa.  :?

I noticed, by looking deep inside the headers, that the email being sent to me was indeed the "remote address"   It just didn't look like it the way it was addressed and with the subject.   But the headers prove that everything is working precisely as planned.

Many thanks for the 1.77b revision.
