EasyBlog is excellent and working well apart from the remote publishing.

I have setup my cron job on my shared hosting account (JustHost.com), I am unable to get this working. I setup a new email
blog@mydomain.com
and the cronjob is set to run every minute, it looks like this;

/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://mydomain.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron";


I have changed location to wget and /bin/get amongst others but no difference.
The mail server is set to mail.mydomain.com

I have read a number of other articles here and followed various instructions such as adding &debug=1 to the end of my domain, it shows the following;

Email batch process finished.

Mailbox: Could not connect to mailbox.
0 blog posts fetched from Twitter
Notice: Unknown: TLS/SSL failure for just51.justhost.com: SSL negotiation failed (errflg=2) in Unknown on line 0


When I change my mail server to
just51.justhost.com
I receive the following error

Email batch process finished.

Mailbox: No matching mails found. UNSEEN criteria: UNSEEN
0 blog posts fetched from Twitter


I have disabled the Map email to the user's email option in settings also.

I am able to receive normal emails to the email in question (blog@mydomain.com)

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Johnny,

I am sorry for the delayed reply.
I have helped you fix this issue on your site. It seems like your Mailbox server doesn't use SSL and Certificates. So, I have turn-off this and have successfully remote publishing a test post on your site. Can you verify for me this issue is now resolved?

Please advise.

Update - It's working now, I was using an incorrect email address to send the email blog.

Hi mohdyasseribz - I'm sorry to report it's not working. It seems very intermittent, I have tried sending it from various email accounts to blog@mydomain.com and none of them appear on my site?

Hello Johnny,

You can continue in this post. I've tried to send an email and the blog is successfully posted: http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-01-20_2337.png . Have you include the prefix blog in your email subject? This is because you have set the prefix here: http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-01-20_2340.png Here means you need to include this prefix in your email subject. For example, my email subject is blog Test Post, Easy blog will crawl in your inbox for email that has the prefix blog and post it.

Hi Nick. Yes I can see that you were able to send an email blog. Can I ask what steps you did to achieve this? Are you running the cron job manually via the URL or are you simply sending an email with the prefix 'blog' (I added this prefix during my testing to try and eliminate this as a cause).

Hello Johnny,

What I did was, send an email and run the cron manually so that I don't need to wait for the cronjob to run.

Thanks Nick. The issue is now resolved! I found where I was going wrong.

The only emails that would not send were ones containing images. Once I sent an email without an image it worked fine. I think it was how I was inserting the image in Gmail (insert photo > from web address - this doesn't work. The only way that works is to upload an image via Gmail drag n drop or select from your google drive/pc. This works well for me now. I also have the cron job running as expected automatically.

Hopefully this info will help somebody else out too. Again, thanks for the support it's very impressive!
