The error log is rather odd and is coming with a debugging output I add myself
only:
[Sat Jul 31 10:13:29.824371 2021] [:debug] [pid 30273:tid 3027227680]
src/mod_mini_booking.c(73): [client 81.169.144.135:34004] handleBooking(): smtp
failed with Failed to authenticate with the given credentials, referer:
<WEBSITE>
The smtp-client code generating this is:
struct smtp *smtp;
smtp_status_code rc;
rc = smtp_open(<SMTPSERVER>", "465",
SMTP_SECURITY_TLS, SMTP_NO_CERT_VERIFY, NULL, &smtp);
rc = smtp_auth(smtp, SMTP_AUTH_LOGIN, <EMAIL>, <PASSWORD>);
rc = smtp_address_add(smtp, SMTP_ADDRESS_FROM, <EMAIL>,
<WEBSITENAME>);
rc = smtp_address_add(smtp, SMTP_ADDRESS_TO, form("email"),
form("name"));
rc = smtp_header_add(smtp, "Subject", "Buchungsbestätigung");
rc = smtp_mail(smtp, "BODY");
rc = smtp_close(smtp);
if (rc==SMTP_STATUS_OK)
debug("handleBooking(): sent mail successfully");
else
debug("handleBooking(): smtp failed with %s",
smtp_status_code_errstr(rc));
With <WEBSITE>, <SMTPSERVER>, <EMAIL>, <PASSWORD>, <WEBSITENAME> added for
privacy reasons.
The sequence fails when calling smtp_auth(), rc is carried on by this library.
The smtp library sends debugging output to stderr. This would be interesting to
see. Any idea where stderr is forwarded to by apache?
