It doesn't seem to matter if the extended RSS ping is turned ON or OFF in _advanced.php, either method seems to generate the mySQL error.

getmail.php appears to just call each of the ping functions:

	$blogparams = get_blogparams_by_ID( $blog_ID );
		pingback( true, $content, $post_title, '', $post_ID, $blogparams, true);
		pingb2evonet( $blogparams, $post_ID, $post_title);
		pingWeblogs($blogparams);
		pingBlogs($blogparams);
		pingTechnorati($blogparams);

Which appear to be defined in /b2evochore/_functions_pings.php. I can only think that something is wrong with the "pingBlogs" function?

/*
 * pingBlogs(-)
 *
 * pings Blo.gs
 */
function pingBlogs( & $blogparams, $display = true ) 
{
	global $use_blodotgsping, $use_rss, $blogname, $baseurl, $blogfilename;
	if( !get_bloginfo('pingblodotgs', $blogparams) ) return false;
	// echo 'ping Blo.gs';
	if( $display ) 
	{
		echo "<div class=\"panelinfo\">\n";
		echo "<h3>", T_('Pinging Blo.gs...'), "</h3>\n";
	}
	if( !preg_match( '#^http://localhost[/:]#',$baseurl) ) 
	{
		flush();
		$url = get_bloginfo('blogurl');
		$client = new xmlrpc_client('/', 'ping.blo.gs', 80);
		if ($use_rss) 
		{
			$message = new xmlrpcmsg('weblogUpdates.extendedPing',
								 array( new xmlrpcval( get_bloginfo('name', $blogparams) ), 
								 				new xmlrpcval( get_bloginfo('blogurl', $blogparams) ), 
												new xmlrpcval( get_bloginfo('blogurl', $blogparams) ), 
												new xmlrpcval( get_bloginfo('rss_url', $blogparams) ) 
											) );
		}
		else 
		{
			$message = new xmlrpcmsg('weblogUpdates.ping', 
								array(new xmlrpcval( get_bloginfo('name', $blogparams) ), 
								 				new xmlrpcval( get_bloginfo('blogurl', $blogparams) )
											));
		}
		$result = $client->send($message);
		$ret = xmlrpc_displayresult( $result, '', $display );
		if( $display ) echo "<p>", T_('Done.'), "</p>\n</div>\n";
		return($ret);
	} 
	else 
	{
		if( $display ) echo "<p>", T_('Aborted (Running on localhost).'), "</p>\n</div>\n";
		return(false);
	}
}

I tried running getmail with debugging turned ON, but that didn't yield anything different (no more screen output and no file generated). Not sure what it's supposed to do.

Anyway ... it appears that the only way to blog via email and NOT generate this error, is to uncheck the "Ping blo.gs" box in the Back Office (Blogs tab -> select blog -> Advanced tab -> uncheck box).

It should be noted that the entry is added to the DB, despite the error. However, BECAUSE of the error, getmail terminates at that point and the emailed entry is NOT DELETED (which means that each time the getmail crontab job runs, the entry is added AGAIN).

Maybe someone with more PHP programming skills can find a fix? :?:
