Victor, can you look into this?

Paul

this time i got an
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 317337 bytes) in /home/mantisbt/public_html/bugs/core/string_api.php on line 416 after a while

Although - the bugnote was successfully added to that mentioned issue

I have also had problems with emails timing out. After much investigation, I still dont know exactly why, but I have narrowed it down to the conversation PHP is having with the SMTP server.

IMHO batch sending emails is the answer here, because if there is some sort of temporary SMTP server glitch (which I think is my problem) then the user should not be presented with a big ugly failure message in his browser. In my case, this damaged the reputation of Mantis.

The queuing of mail will also work, and quickly too.

I have written a crude email_flush.php file which I am experimenting with as an interface by which cron may routinely flush the outgoing mail queue.

BTW: the lack of documentation about the cron feature is very frustration. If there is no documentation for a feature, then it is not ready to be included in the release.

Hey swellnuts,

don't weep about the missing documentation. I found it at the first glance. Here it comes: http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/mantisbt:setting_up_mail_queuing

Best regards,
Marcel

As I've mentioned here: 0008885:0018274 a lack of good quality documentation, all in one place, well organised, and regularity updated is the blight of many OS projects.

Today, yet another source for documentation came to my attention: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2088848/Mantis-Administration-Guide

Giallu, CAn you look at what's going on here with the out of memory error ?

@ Paul: last time I checked, there wasn't any problem with adding notes on 0004286, so your recent fixes to string_api maybe also fixed this.

@swellnuts: we are moving all the manuals to docbook, and what you have found in scridb is just the pdf rendering of those. This and the other note you linked just shows how badly we need help in this area; feel free to chime in the IRC channel ( irc://irc.freenode.net/#mantishelp ) or our mantisbt-dev mailing list if you are willing to work on the topic: it would be really appreciated.
