[Buildbot-devel] Problem with Using MailNotifier

[Fulvio Cervone]

Check the log file in the master directory; if there is a problem you will see it there printed out in the logs.

Usually you will see something like an exception, if the problem is on the mail notifier, and most of the times you can get the error just looking at the line that the log is pointing out.

Can you trigger the mail notifier and then post the log entry? That would help to figure out what is going wrong (and believe me , with the mail notifier many things could go wrong).
