With a main router running merlin's final 386.14_2 release and 4-5 nodes running mainline Asus 386_51733, worth upgrading said nodes to this for security features that they don't make use of? Is it possible that the changes introduce could trigger a need to reset and reconfigure each node?
Yup, that worked. It looks like unless the cron timeout interval of ASUSwrt(-merlin) is something configurable, the maximum interval between the two emails needs to be less than 600 seconds (maybe with like a 30 second buffer to allow for the time it takes to send the emails themselves, so 570...
The interval between notifications, I guess, I set to 3 hours. So the script, I guess, runs for that long. However cron thinks that if a script runs for longer than 600 seconds, it is time to kill it and try again. I will test this by lowering the interval down to 3 minutes and forcing a DDNS...
It sure looks like it thinks it was unsuccesful, but I'm not sure why. The email log is successful, and yet there are all these successive attempts. Hopefully it'll stop after four.

So it looks like there are multiple instances fighting each other? Because of the cron config? Like they were meant to be killed, but weren't in the right order, so each time, you end up with one more process than you need (which is also? why cron thinks it has two emails to send? There are a...
New issue rn is--my IP actually changed, but the old IP isn't actually replaced by the new one after the notification. I got a new 'new IP' notification every 10 minutes for 40 minutes, not sure if this is a permissions issue or something. This was on v3.20 though (I forgot to check for the...
Ah ok great, water under bridge
Mmm will do, actually now that I know a bit more about how the script works/is structured I'll probably begin poking around in there, haha
The best feeling, glad to contribute a bit to that!
Yup, that did it! Log was fine and I successfully received the email.
(Not that it matters now but, sorry if this was unclear before--the message from the postmaster site mentioned in my log is the thing translated from German in quotes in my first post)
Hmm, so I did try earlier to set it to use the amtm settings/curl and that didn't work. After resetting the script just now and trying again, I got the same error, and the log is basically identical to the second one attached to my earlier post. Any other ideas you have I'll try, I'll be up for...
I think? the recent changes break compatibility with GMX.com's service. You get a 554 error and a link with more info, which states (machine-translated from German):
Notably, amtm/diversion (whose email I settings I set up after I did those in wicens) works fine. (I'm not sure how to get a...
