emborg-overdue does not send letters

Ingvarhost commented 4 years ago

Hello! The emborg-overdue does not send letters after completion. The logs do not even show an attempt to send a letter. At the same time, an ordinary emborg always sends letters successfully.

Config file:

default_maintainer = 'backup@localhost'
dumper = 'backup@localhost'
default_max_age = 25 # hours
root = '/mnt/backup_data/borg'
repositories = [    
    dict(host='fs (/)', path='fs/root'),
]

Messages for backup@localhost are forwarded to Gmail.

Emborg-overdue output:

HOST: fs (/)
    sentinel file: /mnt/backup_data/borg/fs/root/index.43

    overdue: True

Did you add the -m or --mail flag?

Typically you run it as a cron job using either: 4 9 * * * ~/dumper/.local/bin/emborg-overdue --mail > ~/dumper/emborg-overdue.out 2>& or 4 9 * * * ~/dumper/.local/bin/emborg-overdue --quiet --mail

I now see that this information was missing from the documentation, so I just added it. You can find it in the latest version on emborg.readthedocs.io.
