If I have a capitalized word in the title of the question and try to search for that word, then Askbot won't bring up any results.

I tried the same on this forum, for eg, there is question on SEO with "SEO" in the title. If you search for "SEO" it won't return any results. To confirm this I created the same question on my test site with "seo" not capitalized, and did the search again. This time it showed the question.

Are there some settings that I need to enable or configure to allow Askbot to search capitalized words in question titles?

I have it working now. All I did was set the EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD to empty string in the setting.py file. This is strange because I can use anybody's email now! Anyways, thanks for the help.

Evgeny, I did setup a local mail server using "python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025", that works. If this is a timeout issue, then askbot should not be sending me error emails, such as Internal Server Error with a stack trace. The fact the it is sending emails on exception only is strange. I do have another web app on the same machine, which can successfully send email using the same gmail account, so it does not seem to be a network issue either.

I'm running into a similar problem. Using version 0.7.48.

I getting the following error message in the logs whenever askbot is trying to send an email:

[Tue Feb 19 17:16:33 2013] [error] timed out

My settings:

SERVER_EMAIL = 'dishantlangayan@gmail.com' DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'dishantlangayan@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'dishantlangayan@gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'mypassword' EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = 'Askbot: ' EMAIL_HOST='smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_PORT='465' EMAIL_USE_TLS=True EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

NOTE: if there is an exception raised for example an "Internal Server Error", then askbot sends me an email to the address configured in the ADMINS property in the settings.py.

But if I for example try to recover my password then no emails are sent and I get the timeout error message in the logs.

Also, I have confirmed that using a Console or Filebased EMAIL_BACKEND works fine. Only problem is with smtp.
