[users at bb.net] Buildbot not sending email status updates

[Barta, Hank]

Let me try this again - I'm not sure it went out. (Formatting this time as plaintext vs. whatever Outlook prefers.)

In addition, I now find that the master will not startup with "mode=('all',)" even though that is a documented mode for 0.8.8.
(from http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.8/manual/cfg-statustargets.html)

Thanks,
hank

Subject: Buildbot not sending email status updates

Hi folks,
I'm running Buildbot 0.8.8 in a Docker container (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) on a Linux host. I've configured postfix on the host and ssmtp inside the container to be  able to send email. I have confirmed this by sending using 'sendmail' from within the container.

I have tried to configure Buildbot to send email status updates using the following code:
# add email status notification

from buildbot.status import mail
from buildbot.status.builder import Results

def messageFormatter(mode, name, build, results, master_status):
    result = util.Results[results]

    text = list()
    text.append("STATUS: %s" % result.title())
    return {
        'body' : "\n".join(text),
        'type' : 'plain'
    }

m = mail.MailNotifier(fromaddr="codebuilder at sandc.com",
                      extraRecipients=["hank.barta at sandc.com"],
                      mode=('all',),
                      sendToInterestedUsers=False,
                      messageFormatter=messageFormatter)
c['status'].append(m)

This follows the web status notifier which does work,

I thought that this configuration would send email for any event. I can force s successful build but I get no email.

Do I have something wrong or are my expectations wrong?

Thanks!
