How to send annotated papers to students by gmail or whatever
Added by Paco Riviere about 4 years ago
After carefully following the proceed in: https://download.auto-multiple-choice.net/auto-multiple-choice.en.pdf#79
I always come with this error:0 message(s) has been sent
This workaround neither works: https://project.auto-multiple-choice.net/boards/4/topics/9359?r=9391#message-9391
May anybody give me some light?
Command output details
----------------------FAILED [102] couldn't send message to sendmail: Broken pipe
===<mailing>=+0.333333333333333
FAILED [105] couldn't send message to sendmail: Broken pipe

FAILED [104] couldn't send message to sendmail: Broken pipe

===<mailing>=+0
VAR: failed_auth=0
Btw. A possible minor bug is changes in Preferences email tab, Default subject and content are not updated when sending and need to be enter again here.

This also tested on several sending accounys, with same results: https://project.auto-multiple-choice.net/projects/auto-multiple-choice/wiki/Setup_AMC_to_send_email

Not ideal, but you could send the emails with an external script, as in this other post https://project.auto-multiple-choice.net/boards/2/topics/9769

Can you post a log
file produced while trying to send emails in debugging mode (form the Help menu)?
RE: How to send annotated papers to students by gmail or whatever - Added by Paco Riviere about 4 years ago
Of course, I think you mean the file mailing.log
Here it is, I just replaced valid checked emails by dummy ones.
Merci a l'avance.

Can you also try in debugging mode, and join the AMC-DEBUG-*.log
file produced?

Can you try the following command in a terminal?
echo Test | /usr/bin/msmtp your.address@example.com
Maybe you can also upgrade AMC to the test version, which handles SMTP authentification (no need to use msmtp)
RE: How to send annotated papers to students by gmail or whatever - Added by Paco Riviere about 4 years ago
This is the result:
$ echo test | /usr/bin/msmtp _correctusername@gmail.com_
msmtp: authentication failed (method LOGIN)
msmtp: server message: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
msmtp: server message: 535 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials d2sm2479579wrq.34 - gsmtp
msmtp: could not send mail (account default from /etc/msmtprc)
I tested several accounts and doublechecked usernames and passwords.
Maybe this is the reason?

RE: How to send annotated papers to students by gmail or whatever - Added by Paco Riviere about 4 years ago
I have doublechecked /etc/msmtprc file is set according to https://download.auto-multiple-choice.net/auto-multiple-choice.en.pdf#79
Btw. May u pls delete mailing.log file from the forum sight after using it, for privacy reasons, please?

Maybe. You can try the methods that are explained there.
May u pls delete mailing.log
I deleted your log
files. I did not find anything interesting there anyway: we see the same errors `couldn't send message to sendmail: Broken pipe'.

Thanks Alexis,

This seems a guide for developers not users, I don't get the idea.
Does this mean this information is not up to date?:

RE: How to send annotated papers to students by gmail or whatever - Added by Paco Riviere about 4 years ago
Solved.
Need to to allow non secure applications in Gmail parameters!

I suggest to include this important information;
https://project.auto-multiple-choice.net/projects/auto-multiple-choice/wiki/Setup_AMC_to_send_email
On the user guide. I know it's on the wiki.
