Description
A newsletter sent via Drupal contained no content, Jenny reported:
We have tried twice today but both times when we send to all it sent out a
blank email, with just the subject line. We have tried sending it to a few
individual addresses and this works. We have sent other listservs out this
week and they have worked as normal.
This is one of the emails:

I have set the dblog to keep 100,000 entries so that if there is another problem with the email newsletter we can look for matching log entries.

Jenny has reported that the same issues, newsletters without attachments, has happened again, the blank email (I haven't seen the email headers)@:
From: "CRIN" <info@crin.org> Date: 18 May 2015 13:00:55 BST To: xxx@crin.org Subject: Children in Court CRINmail 48: Special Edition on LGBTQI Rights
The server is on GMT not BST so that is 12:00:55.
Looking in dblog and filtering for these items:
newsletter_check newsletter_check_spool newsletter_check_spool_2 newsletter_check_spool_3 simplenews
Looking at the entries we have ones like this:

The above doesn't mean much to me I'm afraid. There are 4 Simplenews modules installed:
- Simplenews 7.x-1.1
- Simplenews Content Selection 7.x-2.0
- Simplenews Content Selection Views Integration 7.x-2.0
- Simplenews rules 7.x-1.1
Looking at the settings, the the Send mail page we have:
Use cron to send newsletters Cache Use cached source Cron throttle 10000 Mail spool expiration 1 week
I don't know if tweaking some of the above settings might help.
I have had a look through 9 years worth of the issues for simplenews version 7.x, there are a lot but I couldn't find one report of emails without bodies being sent.
All I can suggest is:
- I raise a issue with the simplenew module
- Get a Drupal developer to look at this issue

The newsletter is working when sent in batches so this issue is going to be left for now, however the Drupal admin password needs resetting, this can be done via the password reset page if the email address is changed, however the email address can't be changed using the web interface because "The e-mail address example@… is already taken.", so doing it at a MySQSL level on the database server:
mysql crin mysql> select name,mail from users where uid=1; +-------+---------------------+ | name | mail | +-------+---------------------+ | admin | example@example.org | +-------+---------------------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec) mysql> update users set mail="example@crin.org" where uid=1; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0 mysql> select name,mail from users where uid=1; +-------+------------------+ | name | mail | +-------+------------------+ | admin | example@crin.org | +-------+------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> quit Bye

Note I have changed the List-Unsubscribe URL above also also this is a HTTP URL, as are the URLs in the newsletter, these should ideally be a HTTPS URLs, though this is mitigated via the HSTS header which means that people using modern browsers will get the HTTPS page when they click the HTTP link.
Then this morning I was sent the same email, this time with two attachments, a plain text version, (which contains CSS, which it shouldn't) and a base 64 encoded HTML version (snipped below).
Note that it is the mimemail.module that is sending these.

.... LATEST NEWS AND REPORTS
.. Minimum ages and consent
*Nigerian* lawmakers have approved
http://www.ibtimes.co.in/nigerian-senate-lowers-age-consent-sex-18-11-faces-backlash-635241
an anti-rape bill that appears to lower the age of sexual consent from 18 to
11, activists have warned. On 4 June, the upper house of the National
Assembly hurriedly passed the Sexual Offences Bill (2015) - which prescribes
prison terms for rapists and those who have sex with children under the age
of 11 - alongside an unprecedented 45 other draft laws, all in the space of
10 minutes
http://dailypost.ng/2015/06/16/anti-rape-bill-sponsors-response-leaves-nigerians-in-quandary/.
A previous version of the Bill criminalised the defilement of children under
18; but it is claimed this was changed while the draft text was referred to
the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Legal Matters for further legislative
work. The Bill will become law if it is signed by the President.
Courts ruling on cases of alleged child sexual abuse in *Zimbabwe* are
increasingly treating
http://www.news24.com/Africa/Zimbabwe/Zim-courts-treat-12-as-age-of-consent-20150611
12 as the age of sexual consent, activists say. It follows a number of
rulings in which defendants had their sentences lowered after arguing that
the child in question consented to sex. "If a man has intercourse with a
child who is under 12, they have no defence. They cannot say that the child
consented," said legal expert Alex Magaisa. But he added that while the
criminal code appears to set the age of consent at 16, the law only provides
"absolute protection" to a child who is under 12. Earlier this month, two men
were acquitted of the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl because she “did
not scream” and “knew what she wanted”. Activists say there should be
no extenuating circumstances to statutory rape.
In the *Philippines*, the Department of Health (DOH) says it supports a
proposal to allow some children to get tested for HIV and AIDS
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/696753/doh-backs-bill-allowing-minor-to-get-hiv-aids-tests-without-parental-consent
without parental consent. The author of the bill says it responds to the rise
in the number of young people who test positive for HIV. Currently, children
must obtain parental consent before they can be tested for HIV. But this
requirement is not necessary under the new bill for those aged 15 to 17 years
- the age group most at risk of infection, according to the DOH, which says
almost 30 percent of new HIV and AIDS cases involve 15- to 24-year-olds. Jose
Gerard Belimac, programme manager of the DOH Philippine National AIDS
Council, said “We support any measure that will address removing barriers
to access to health services.” On the other hand, the bill cites several
conditions for testing, including that the child be living independently,
pregnant, already a parent, have no contact with parents or guardians or a
clinical condition that suggests infection with HIV.
.. Historical abuse of children’s cultural rights
*Canada’s* former policy of removing aboriginal children from their
families
https://www.crin.org/en/library/news-archive/canada-forced-schooling-aboriginal-children-was-cultural-genocide-truth
and placing them in residential schools run largely by churches was
“cultural genocide
http://www.cbc.ca/news/aboriginal/cultural-genocide-label-for-residential-schools-has-no-legal-implications-expert-says-1.3110826”,
concluded the country’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission
http://www.trc.ca/websites/trcinstitution/index.php?p=3 after six years of
research. Indian, Inuit and other indigenous children were forced to attend
the government-financed schools, which were in operation from 1883 until the
last one closed in 1998, and where widespread physical, cultural and sexual
abuse was documented. At least 3,201 students also died while attending the
schools, many because of mistreatment or neglect. “The Canadian government
pursued this policy of cultural genocide...to divest itself of its legal and
financial obligations to aboriginal people and gain control over their lands
and resources,” the report said. “If every aboriginal person had been
‘absorbed into the body politic,’ there would be no reserves, no treaties
and no aboriginal rights.” The Canadian government apologised to former
students http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/12/world/americas/12canada.html in a
2008 court settlement and established the Commission. But the report said:
“A just reconciliation requires more than simply talking about the need to
heal the deep wounds of history. Words of apology alone are insufficient;
concrete actions on both symbolic and material fronts are required.”
The Danish government is being urged to apologise for having taken a group of
Inuit children from their families in Greenland in the 1950s to be
're-educated' in *Denmark* as part of a social experiment
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33060450. In a bid to modernise the
island, Danish authorities sent out telegrams to priests and headteachers
based in Greenland asking them to identify bright children who would be sent
to stay with foster families in Denmark, and then returned to help teach
Danish to other inhabitants. The plan was formed with the help of Save the
Children Denmark, which also arranged for six of the children to be adopted
by their foster families. When the remaining 16 were returned to Greenland,
they were placed in a children’s home built by the Danish Red Cross, where
they were discouraged from speaking the Inuit language. Both organisations
have since apologised for their role in the experiment, which critics say
left the children rootless and marginalised, with some later suffering
breakdowns, becoming homeless, dying young or returning to Denmark. In 2010,
the authorities in Greenland called for an apology from Denmark, but the
Danish government has remained silent on the issue.
.. Clamping down on discrimination
A court in *Italy* has ruled that state-sanctioned “nomadic camps”
http://www.errc.org/cms/upload/file/italy-factsheet-formal-camps-english-10-dec-2013.pdf
are a form of segregation and discrimination based on ethnic grounds, marking
the first time
http://www.errc.org/article/municipality-of-rome-condemned-for-la-barbuta-camp-for-the-first-time-in-europe-an-official-roma-only-settlement-ruled-discriminatory/4369
in Europe that a national court has reached this decision. The ruling came in
response to a 2012 complaint by a group of organisations against the City of
Rome for its construction of a Roma-only “village”. At the end of May,
the Civil Court of Rome ruled: "It must indeed be considered as
discriminatory any large scale housing solution directed only at persons
belonging to the same ethnic group….in order to hinder cohabitation with
the majority population, and in terms of equal access, to fair conditions, to
education and social health services located in an area where there is a
serious risk to the health of persons residing there". The organisations
behind the complaint argue that placing Roma people in Roma-only camps,
shelters or any other mono-ethnic housing solution contributes to social
exclusion and inequality in access to housing. With regard to children, those
living in formal camps find it difficult to access education
http://www.errc.org/cms/upload/file/italy-factsheet-formal-camps-english-10-dec-2013.pdf
as a result of inadequate housing conditions, low security of tenure, and
fear of forced evictions.
Transgender children should not have to obtain a court order to go on hormone
therapy
http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2015/s4252308.htm?site=melbourne,
the *Australian* Human Rights Commission has said in a new report on
discrimination against gay, transgender and intersex people. Currently,
children and their families need permission from the Family Court to get
medication for male and female hormones, which transgender support groups say
creates unnecessary stress and puts financial strain on families. This is
even required if a child has already been using medication to stunt the onset
of puberty. But getting court approval can “include very long delays and
very costly delays which harm the development of a child,” said Tim Wilson,
Human Rights Commissioner. “All that we are recommending,” explained
Wilson, “is we change legal safeguards for medical safeguards so decisions
are made on what's in the best interests and welfare of the child.” Last
year, the Chief Justice of the Family Court, Diana Bryant, said a court order
was often unnecessary for transgender children who already have support from
doctors and parents.
Ontario has become the first province in *Canada* to ban the use of so-called
“conversion therapy”
http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/the-practice-of-conversion-therapy-has-no-place-in-ontario-and-is-now-illegal
on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) children. The ban also
creates a financial barrier for practitioners, as previously they could bill
their activities to the province’s public health insurance programme. Now,
public money can no longer be used to fund the purported treatment for
adults. Meanwhile in the United States, where an increasing number
http://www.lgbtqnation.com/2015/02/colorado-iowa-oregon-lawmakers-considering-conversion-therapy-bans/
of states are considering banning the practice for children, a religious
group that claimed to be able to ‘cure’ homosexuality is being sued
http://www.metroweekly.com/2015/06/n-j-lawsuit-alleges-conversion-therapy-violates-consumer-fraud-laws/
in New Jersey under consumer protection laws for making a number of false and
discredited claims that may amount to fraud.
.. Evading accountability in armed conflict
The *Israeli* military has cleared
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/11/israel-clears-military-gaza-beach-children
itself of culpability in an incident that killed four children and injured a
number of others on a beach during last summer's Gaza war. The four children
were killed after being hit by missile fire while playing hide-and-seek on
the beach. Israel claimed that the attack targeted a Hamas compound and that
the deaths were a “tragic accident”. A number of journalists who were
present in the immediate aftermath of the shelling claimed that there was no
Hamas compound and that they only saw a small fisherman’s hut at the site
of the attack. Israel’s conduct in last summer’s war received renewed
criticism last month with the publication of the testimonies of dozens of
Israeli soldiers who served during the Gaza war, which included allegations
that the military did not meet its obligations to protect civilians in
wartime. Both Israel and Hamas are currently under preliminary investigation
by the International Criminal Court to see whether they committed war crimes
during the conflict, which left more than 1,462 Palestinian civilians dead,
including 495 children.
*Sudan's* president Omar al-Bashir has fled
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-33135562 South Africa, pre-empting a
court ruling over an international warrant for his arrest. After travelling
to an African Union summit in Johannesburg, South Africa's High Court barred
al-Bashir from leaving the country due to a warrant from the International
Criminal Court (ICC) relating to alleged genocide and war crimes in the
ongoing Darfur conflict, which has left more than 400,000 dead. Ignoring the
request of the High Court, al-Bashir left South Africa on a private plane
with the apparent blessing of South Africa’s government and African Union
Member States, who are critical of the ICC, which they say only targets
African leaders and fails to bring to justice those responsible for war
crimes in the Middle East and elsewhere. It appears that allowing al-Bashir
to leave South Africa will have serious repercussions for the State
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/15/omar-al-bashir-south-africa-sudan-international-criminal-court-icc,
with its membership of the ICC now being questioned and the likelihood that
it will now receive little support in its quest to gain a permanent spot on

.. Reprisals against rights defenders
*Pakistan* has reversed a decision
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-33126864 made last week to close the
national branch of Save the Children. No justification was given for the
order or its reversal. However, officials had previously accused the charity
of involvement in "anti-State activities", linking it to a fake vaccination
programme used by the CIA to detect the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden -
accusations which the charity denies. No foreign staff have worked for Save
the Children in Pakistan for the past 18 months as a result. Civil society
space is increasingly under pressure in the country: a draft bill called
http://www.trust.org/item/20150612111033-4wcfk/ the Foreign Contributions
Regulation Act (2015) would make it easier to prevent groups that receive
foreign funds from operating in Pakistan. And CIVICUS, a global alliance of
civil organisations, says 3,000 local NGOs were deregistered in the country
in December 2014.
In the *Philippines*, children’s rights advocates are among a group that
has filed complaints before the Commission on Human Rights over the alleged
harassment and surveillance
http://bulatlat.com/main/2015/06/11/union-leaders-child-rights-advocates-file-harassment-case-vs-state-forces/
they experienced from suspected members of the military and the police. In
May, the two children’s rights activists, who document cases and provide
services to child victims of human rights violations and who are registered
as social workers, were followed from their office by suspected members of
the military. They say the incident was a “clear act of harassment and
reprisal on our active opposition to government policies and programmes that
are not beneficial for Filipino children and their families.” Another of
the complainants said the harassment indicates the “worsening trends of
political repression against union organisers and political activists, and
attempts to disrupt the organisations’ activities and terrorise people
involved in development and human rights work.”

.... ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR CHILDREN IN MICRONESIA
The *Federated States of Micronesia* (FSM) has ratified the Convention on the
Rights of the Child (CRC), and its provisions can be directly enforced in
courts. Children through their representatives may bring civil action or
judicial review proceedings in domestic courts to challenge violations of
their rights, but only with the assistance of a representative. Class actions
are also permitted. However, children face several obstacles to accessing
justice in the country. FSM does not have a formal legal aid system, there
are no juvenile courts or special provisions for children giving evidence in
legal proceedings, and there are reports of lengthy delays in the judicial
system. There are potential conflicts between FSM’s customary law and
statutory and international law. FSM also does not have a national human
rights institution to which children can make complaints about violations of
their rights.

This report is part of CRIN's access to justice for children project
https://www.crin.org/en/home/law/access, looking at the status of the CRC in
national law, the status of children involved in legal proceedings, the legal
means to challenge violations of children’s rights and the practical
considerations involved in challenging violations.

-------- THE LAST WORD -------------------------------------------------------
/"We have all felt that this was wrong. We have felt a sense of loss and a
lack of self-belief and those emotions haven't gone away. [A]s far as the
Danish authorities are concerned, I have felt very bitter and very
disappointed. I've not been able to understand how they could turn us into an
experiment.”/
-- Helene Thiesen http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-33060450, one of the 22
children from Greenland taken to Denmark in the 1950s for ‘re-education’.

If needs be I could look in the exim and other logs on the server to see if a reason can be found for the first email without an attachment, but last time I did this I couldn't find anything, see ticket:14#comment:3.
The last thing to note is that the mailq hit 17k early this morning:

Sorry, have only just noticed that Jonas and not Jenny and Gillian were CCs for this ticket, this has now been changed, also note the comment I posted to this ticket this morning about the blank email I was sent by CRINmail:

I have added Peter and Mori to this ticket, Jenny has reported that:
Our CRINmail went out blank again last night. This is the third time out of four in one month that this has happened with the same list. Previously it happened only once each ever for three different lists.
The CRINmail is our main product, so it's urgent we get this fixed. People are complaining.
When this happens, if we are enough staff, we resend it from our CRIN email accounts, but as we can only send 500 emails a day it takes about 21 people accounts. We can set up more accounts, but this isn't really a long term solution.
I however did get a copy of the email, and there is nothing of note in the php or mail logs, these are some of the key headers from the email -- it all looks fine to me:

And this email did have a body (although the plain text version contains CSS, I'll raise another ticket about this).
There is the usual mailqueue as a result of the newsletter going out (I'll raise another ticket regarding that fact that addresses that bounce do not appears to be removed from the list of addresses to send email to, this is the cause of the blue in the graph):
Looking at the time based settings we have for PHP:
grep -i time /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini | grep -v "^;" disable_functions = pcntl_alarm,pcntl_fork,pcntl_waitpid,pcntl_wait,pcntl_wifexited,pcntl_wifstopped,pcntl_wifsignaled,pcntl_wexitstatus,pcntl_wtermsig,pcntl_wstopsig,pcntl_signal,pcntl_signal_dispatch,pcntl_get_last_error,pcntl_strerror,pcntl_sigprocmask,pcntl_sigwaitinfo,pcntl_sigtimedwait,pcntl_exec,pcntl_getpriority,pcntl_setpriority, max_execution_time = 1200 max_input_time = 120 default_socket_timeout = 120 ibase.timestampformat = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" ibase.timeformat = "%H:%M:%S" mysql.connect_timeout = 60 session.cookie_lifetime = 0 session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 opcache.validate_timestamps=1
I think that increasing the max_execution_time from 20 mins to an hour might help, and increasing the max_input_time from 2 mins to 5 mins, so I have done that, however I haven't done this on the dev server -- it probably makes sense to reduce these values on the dev server to make it easier to reproduce the issue?
comment:8 Changed 3 years ago by chris
- Summary changed from Problem with sending out newsletter to Blank CRINmail newsletters being sent out
Added "CRINmail" to the ticket summary (and therefore email subject lines) to make it easier to find.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
The Drupal logs do not go far enough back in time for there to be anything there the last dblog page has logs from 17/05/2015 - 14:49 and it is now Sun May 17 14:07:09 GMT 2015 -- so around 45 mins worth of logs.
Looking at the mail logs in /var/log/exim4 at the same time as the email that was blank (these have been anonomised):
There are 3366 "retry time not reached for any host" entries in this log file, start from 2015-05-15 06:28:26 and running to 2015-05-16 06:08:01 (when the log file was rotated).
But these are errors relating to MX lookups, I think this just delayed some email, I can't find any entries in the Exim logs that help explain why attachments were not sent.
Looking at the webserver logs (these have been anonomised):
Nothing there, also nothing in the php5-fpm.log, syslog, daemon.log or messages.
All I can suggest is that the limit of 1,000 entries in the dblog, which is set here is increased so that next time there might be some error messages to help find the problem.
