[rt-users] First time setting up RT need help with email setup

[Helmuth Ramirez]

Did you add it as a 'smarthost' or 'relayhost'.  It should be:

 

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf, and add or edit this line:
relayhost = your.server.com <http://your.server.com/> 

 

I'll be honest, I'm a Linux noob, I am running Debian and I used 'dpkg
-reconfigure postfix' for it to walk me through the questions.  But I
checked my 'main' config file and it shows my smarthost as the relayhost
entry.

how did you configure your smart host? I added a smarthost line into the
postfix config file but it was still not relaying. Any suggestions?

Yes, that is the way we did it and it has worked out very well in our
Windows/Exchange environment

So you would have to configure RT to use sendmail or postfix and then
configure sendmail or postfix to relay messages to the smtp server as a
smarthost?

Hi Jeffrey,

  The easiest way (at least for us) was to have a mail server installed
on the RT box (Postfix in my case) and have it use our SMTP as a
Smarthost.

I finally have RT setup on an Ubuntu Dapper install, but I am unsure how
to setup outgoing e-mail. I want to use our company smtp server to send
email. How would I go about doing that?
