Status check emails empty after upgrading to v0.16

Help with Setup/Upgrade
1

Hello everyone,

I am having issues with MiAB. I deployed the package on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 LTS KVM VPS when it was v0.15a. Everything was working absolutely fine.

Then 0.16 came and I decided to upgrade. The upgrade went well, but soon afterwards, I found that the nightly status checks were generating truncated emails.

Back in 0.15a, I used to get:

mailbox.technofaq.org – Previously:

:heavy_multiplication_x: Your box’s reverse DNS is currently radio.samizdatsounds.org, but
it should be mailbox.technofaq.org. Your ISP or cloud provider
will have instructions on setting up reverse DNS for your box.

mailbox.technofaq.org – Currently:

✓ Reverse DNS is set correctly at ISP. [198.91.88.112 ↦
mailbox.technofaq.org]

pranavsuri.com – Added

✓ Nameservers are set correctly at registrar.
[ns1.mailbox.technofaq.org; ns2.mailbox.technofaq.org]
✓ Domain’s email is directed to this domain. [pranavsuri.com ↦ 10
mailbox.technofaq.org]
{…}

Now I get:
System – Previously:

Any pointers as to how to debug this issue will be helpful.

I have tried re running the v0.16 setup multiple times and rebooting the VPS, but to no avail.

On the command line-

cd mailinabox
sudo management/status_checks.py

See if it outputs all of the checks.

Meanwhile I rolled back to v0.15a with:
cd mailinabox
git checkout v0.15a
setup/start.sh

My status check emails are working fine again. Here’s an output:
mailbox.technofaq.org – Previously:

:heavy_multiplication_x: Your box’s reverse DNS is currently radio.samizdatsounds.org, but
it should be mailbox.technofaq.org. Your ISP or cloud provider
will have instructions on setting up reverse DNS for your box.

mailbox.technofaq.org – Currently:

✓ Reverse DNS is set correctly at ISP. [198.91.88.112 ↦
mailbox.technofaq.org]

And, Josh, as you’ve requested, here is the output of status_checks.py. It is the same for both v0.15a and v0.16:

root@mailbox:~/mailinabox# management/status_checks.py

System

I had the same problem - was able to fix by adding:

PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

to /etc/environment

This should be fixed in the next update:
