Hi, yesterday I sent the following mail, but it got a delivery failure. It seems that Alioth's mail server is somewhat unstable. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2005 13:21:22 +0100 (CET) From: Jordi Vilalta <jvprat(a)wanadoo.es&gt; To: po4a-devel(a)lists.alioth.debian.org Subject: Error while commiting Hi, today I've commited a change in the Xml module changing the default behaviour to strip the extracted strings (be careful, this can fuzzy all your strings, use -o nostrip to avoid it), and at the end of the commit I got this error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/cvsroot/po4a/CVSROOT/syncmail", line 437, in ? main() File "/cvsroot/po4a/CVSROOT/syncmail", line 430, in main contextlines, fromhost, replyto) File "/cvsroot/po4a/CVSROOT/syncmail", line 222, in blast_mail conn.connect(MAILHOST, MAILPORT) File "/usr/lib/python2.1/smtplib.py", line 222, in connect self.sock.connect((host, port)) socket.error: (111, 'Connection refused') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/cvsroot/po4a/CVSROOT/syncmail", line 437, in ? main() File "/cvsroot/po4a/CVSROOT/syncmail", line 430, in main contextlines, fromhost, replyto) File "/cvsroot/po4a/CVSROOT/syncmail", line 222, in blast_mail conn.connect(MAILHOST, MAILPORT) File "/usr/lib/python2.1/smtplib.py", line 222, in connect self.sock.connect((host, port)) socket.error: (111, 'Connection refused') The change has been commited, but it seems it couldn't send the commit mail. I don't know where the error comes from (maybe the alioth mail server was down for a while), but it can be annoying to work without knowing what others have done. If you get the same error, I recommend sending a manual mail to the list to inform what you've done (thanks in advance). I hope it gets solved soon. Regards, Jordi Vilalta
