#8699 closed defect (fixed)

Space in the end of e-mail address prevents sending notification

Description

In preferences you can add a space by accident in the end of e-mail address (due to copy-pasting it for exapmle), after this you'll get no notifications from trac. Not a big problem, but: you have no check/warning at input, also in admin tab e-mail looks ok, without spaces.

In mail logs you see notification mailed ok for everybody except "spaced" e-mail, which is confusing as well.

That patch probably won't work, as you can't have an elif: after an else:.

Stripping in the preferences is a good idea. However, there may already be addresses with spaces in the session table. Could you also add stripping in the notification code, where the addresses are used?

I tried my hand at updating this as requested. I updated the regular expressions in notification.py to include \s* (no extra strip()s were required)

Please review the patch prefs_web_ui_and_notification.patch

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Patch works great, applied (slightly changed, to generally strip all fields in the preferences) in [9346], together with some tweaks to the tests to check that the stripping is actually done. Thanks!

Hard to validate now as it is working :).

I updated, but was not able to add an email address with a space (I don't have Twill installed).

I did the following:

c:\> sqlite3.exe trac.db

sqlite> update ticket set cc = ' mark.xxxxx@xxxx.com , marky < mxxxxxx@xxx.com  > ' where id=1;

Then I modified the ticket in Trac, and received correctly emails to the two email addresses specified.
