2011/02/20 12:06:49:: Sending mail "Bot ERROR" to "DrTrigon" as notification!

2011/02/20 12:06:49:: !!! WARNING: mail could not be sent!

Even though it was tested explicit it seams that it is very frequent for bot ERROR mails not to be sent to me. This is a critical issue since it may happen that I am not informed about such a crash. Another point is this error reporting has to be reliable ! This might be an issue with SGE too, thus look also at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2011-February/003901.html and its follow-ups.

First attempt to solve this issue is to add max. 3 retries for the mail sending. Additionally output of the error occurred was added to get more info.

Committed revision 124.

If this does not work try to add:

  • delay between attempts
  • re-create user object or do something else to retrieve new token

Solved by introducing a work-a-round in r149.
Bug report https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3397944&group_id=93107&atid=603138 filed in order to solve this issue upstream. Then in fact the work-a-round would not be needed anymore, but does no harm also.
