Re: MediaGoblin Trac email notifications to issue requestors (was: Tailing MediaGoblin's Postfix logs - troubleshooting Trac emails to ticket requestor)

[Ben Sturmfels]

Thanks Simon,

I've pulled these Trac changes in on the mediagoblin server. Let's wait
and see whether we end up with a new collaboration tool before moving
the repo - for the time being I've created an account on 0xacab.org
(bensturmfels).

Regarding postfix logs, I just tried looking at those while creating and
logging into a new account on Trac. The email comes through, but nothing
at all in the logs. Any ideas?

Looks like I forgot to attach the patch to my email about haproxy, so
I've made a merge request on 0xacab.org. Did that email notification
come through?

Cheers,
Ben
