Debug email reception#

In app/models/mail_handler.rb, Redmine ignores these headers:

  • Auto-Submitted: auto-replied

  • Auto-Submitted: auto-generated

  • X-Autoreply: yes

It also ignores:

To check if an expected message is among these ignored messages:

grep "MailHandler: ignoring" /home/redmine/public_html/log/production.log

The data@open-contracting.org GMail account should only have the following in its Inbox:

  • Unread messages (which will be imported)

  • Emails from data@ (when the CRM cc’s data@)

  • Delivery status notifications (from before using Amazon SES)

  • Auto-responders (Auto-Submitted: auto-replied)

  • Calendar invitations (Auto-Submitted: auto-generated)

  • Eventbrite order notifications

To review the inbox for expected messages, excluding the above messages:

in:inbox after:2019/01/01 from:(-me) subject:(-"delivery status notification" -"no se puede entregar" -"undeliverable" -"automatic reply" -"respuesta automatica" -"resposta automatica" -"out of office" -"out of the office" -"away from office" -"I'm on annual leave until" -"auto" -"holiday" -"on leave" -"vacation" -"fuera de la oficina" -"absense du bureau" -"updated invitation" -"order notification for" -"notificación de registro para" -"notification d'inscription pour") -{"this is an automated reply" "Me encuentro de licencia" "fuera de la oficina"}

Note

The Sent folder should only contain emails from data@ in cases where the CRM cc’d data@.

Debug email notifications#

Review the email configuration:

cat /home/redmine/public_html/config/configuration.yml

Open a Rails console, and run:

user = User.where(login: 'jmckinney').first
mailer = Mailer.test_email(user)
mailer.deliver_now

When testing notifications, remember to uncheck I don’t want to be notified of changes that I make myself on the My account page.

Cleanup old files#

Check changed, untracked and ignored files:

cd /home/redmine/public_html
svn diff
svn status
svn status --no-ignore | grep '^I' | grep -v tmp/

Expected untracked files are:

Expected ignore files include files under:

  • .bundle

  • Gemfile.lock

  • config/configuration.yml

  • config/database.yml

  • config/initializers/secret_token.rb

  • db/schema.rb

  • files/*

  • log/*

  • plugins/*

  • public/plugin_assets belonging to current plugins, and redmine_crm

You might need to:

  • Delete files from public/plugin_assets that relate to old plugins

  • Revert patched files

  • Delete patch files

After making changes, as root, run: systemctl restart apache2.service
