Beta Branch add tools/emailnotify.sh in 123.09beta01

add tools/emailnotify.sh in 123.09beta01

- add tools/emailnotify.sh which is setup via a symlink to /usr/local/bin/emailnotify command on initial install for fresh installs or on existing installs after updated centmin.sh run to allow centmin.sh to send centmin mod related email notifications to user via the email addresses populated and setup in tools/email.sh for both primary & secondary email addresses prompts made on initial centmin mod install's first centmin.sh run (which is triggered via /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/email.sh)
- tools/emailnotify.sh or /usr/local/bin/emailnotify command will also do checks for a valid main server hostname reverse DNS PTR record and if not found will also display an error message directing users to instructions at Email - Steps to ensure your site/server email doesn't end up in spam inboxes to properly ensure emails sent by server do not end up in user's spam/jumk mail boxes
- you can change the email addresses used for notification by re-running /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/email.sh and updating both primary & secondary email addresses

123.09beta01 branch

• Branch: centminmod/centminmod
• Commit History: centminmod/centminmod

 

• example usage for emailnotify command to send an email via system postfix MTA with body of email containing = testnote and subject of email = subjectnote
• in this example an invalid reverse PTR DNS record is detected and error message is displayed
• a gzip compressed mail log of the email sent is also saved to /root/centminlogs/emailnotify-maillog-170819-032308.log.gz - compressed size is usually ~400-800 bytes in size so not much room taken up

Code (Text):

emailnotify send testnote subjectnote

Code (Text):

server IPv4 IP: 111.111.111.111
host.test.com checked DNS IPv4 record: 111.222.333.444

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
fail: PTR IPv4 DNS record setup
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
host.test.com reverse PTR lookup IPv4 not found
host.test.com requires a working PTR DNS record to ensure
server outbound sent emails are properly delivered to your
previously setup server notification email addresses otherwise
server sent emails end up in destination receipient's spam/junk
mail box. Full instructions to remedy this can be read at
https://community.centminmod.com/threads/6999/

Cloudflare users should DISABLE 'orange cloud' Proxy on
server's main host.test.com DNS record as enabling
Cloudflare on main host.test.com DNS record will negatively
impact proper email delivery from your server as destination
mail servers can not do a proper reverse DNS PTR lookup to
verify and match your main hostname host.test.com and it's
resolving server IP address which currently points to:
111.222.333.444

to read use zcat:

zcat /root/centminlogs/emailnotify-maillog-170819-032308.log.gz
email sent at Sat Aug 17 03:23:09 UTC 2019

 

no other output ? it should report the main hostname's reverse PTR lookup IP address in the text line starting with pass:

 

oh that's okay i did a new line break after pass: that's why

 

I updated 123.09beta01 so it now shows as

Code (Text):

pass: ok

to clear up any confusion

 

made more updates to tools/emailnotify.sh Beta Branch - update tools/emailnotify.sh in 123.09beta01

 

So anymore folks tried out emalnotify command yet ? This will be used in future to notify users of software version updates etc.

 

Ah was thinking of pushover.net support as it's just supplying their email would allow push notifications
