[SOLVED] Trying to use the API sendlink and getting no where

[loclhst]

Myself and a friend have been trying to wrap our brain around this.
I see in the PMG API docs, I can send a POST to /api2/json/quarantine/sendlink, with the "mail" attribute, and it should trigger the daily report.
I have tried to send this with curl via bash, php and even postman.
It does not trigger anything at all. With or without being authenticated.
In the log file, all I see entries similar to:
::ffff:x.x.x.x - - [05/05/2022:20:12:23 -0500] "POST /api2/json/quarantine/sendlink HTTP/1.1" 500 13

And nothing happens. Yes, I have verified I have pending quarantine for the account being issued.

The curl command I have been trying (unauthenticated) is
curl https://hostname:8006/api2/json/quarantine/sendlink -k -d 'mail=user@domain.com'
I have even tried with a -X POST. and also a -H 'Content-Type: application/json' to no avail.

All I want is for the system to trigger an email to the account in question. (or just return the link to the quarantine, but it does not sound like thats possible yet)

did you enable that feature in the config?

you have to enable the option 'quarantinelink' in /etc/pmg/pmg.conf, see https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#pmg_configuration_file

This worked. Sad that I overlooked this, but then again its a single line option that is in the admin manual.
Perhaps a note in the API documentation should at least mention that it is off by default and to look at the admin page to turn it on?

Either way, thanks for the quick reply.
