[alert] openqaworker-arm-3 offline and CI pipeline unable to send email but stating "passed"

Updated over 3 years ago.
- Related to action #89815: osd-deployment blocked by openqaworker-arm-3 offline and not recovered automatically added
- Status changed from Workable to In Progress
I've now rebooted the machine manually and it came up normally. Nothing special was required (… chassis power cycle did the trick).
I will look into the problem with the automatic recovery.
hm, ok. But previously sending emails was working. Maybe something changed in the package setup. Within osd-deployment we also send emails. AFAIK we use "mutt" for sending emails in these cases so I suggest to use the same here.

Setting due date based on mean cycle time of SUSE QE Tools
I've tested your container locally (not my version) and it can resolve the mail command. It links to /etc/alternatives/mail which links to /usr/bin/mailx. Maybe this was just a temporary issue which has already been fixed in the current container version? (The image is based on Tumbleweed and Docker says the latest version is only 4 hours old so apparently it is automatically updated.)
Where comes mutt into play? Your Dockerfile explicitly installs mailx (and not mutt). The osd-deployment pipeline uses also just the mail command but a different image (which doesn't seem to install a special mail client).

Right. I apparently got that confused.
Ok, assuming that the issue might be fixed again upstream we should still not ignore errors when a mail could not be sent, right?

Originally we assumed that email sending did work as that should have been done in #76876 but we never ensured that. With mkittler I tried out to get email sending done without resorting to what we do in e.g. osd-deployment where we login over ssh to osd which is already capable of sending emails itself. So we found one that could be seen as simplest how to send emails:
zypper -n in msmtp
echo -e "Subject: email from msmtp\n\ntest" | SMTPSERVER=relay.suse.de msmtp --from okurz@suse.de -t okurz@suse.de
what should be changed of course is to have a container image that already provides msmtp and then use variables with defaults instead of hardcoded values.
- Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
The SR has been merged and I've been testing whether sending mails works using the msmtp command within the container locally.
