[rt-users] RT not emailing tickets after old exchange server decomissioning.

[Darin Perusich]

You mentioned yast2 so you're using some SuSE variant.

What's the output of "postconf relayhost"? You should see something
like 'relayhost = [new.server.com]'.

Are you able to send mail in general from the RT server? Try "echo
hello | mail your at address.com" and check your inbox.

If you don't receive the message what's the output of "mailq"? If it's
huge don't send the whole thing to the list, one entry should be
sufficient.

Check /var/log/mail for errors, it probably contains the reason why
delivery is failing.
