Q: Wiki Mail Notification POSTFIX Errors

I have noticed that I am not receiving email notifications when Wiki pages change. I looked in the Wiki:Notifications Log Server.app and see the following:

 

Getting postfix status for server

POSTFIX ENABLED? false

Initialized a new Notifications::Postman

SMTP configuration: (sendmail -- no config or local server)

Processing pending notifications (C6C762F2-8B52-4F0F-A6F0-8B9BC90BBDDF-55476-0002C7BFBA94BE97)

Found 0 pending notifications

Notifications queued for: []

Finished processing pending notifications

 

Well, this is interesting since I know my Mail service is working (otherwise I would not be able to send and receive mail from my mail app on Mac, iPhone and iPad clients, which I can do).

 

I have Googled around but can't seem to find what is causing this problem.

 

I can't find anything in the Wiki (either in Server.app or while logged into the Wiki) that controls the email configuration.

 

Any helped appreciated!

    Did you ever find out what the issue was? I am having the same problem... and cannot find out why the Wiki is not just using SMTP to relay the mail or where I can set that option.

    Good news I found the solution. Basically you have to enable Mail and enter relay info for ISP (or internal as needed).

    Hope this helps... not obvious but I knew if there wewre not a lot of other posts on this out there I was missing something simple and this was it.

     

    Good luck!

    You say "or internal". I am using the Mail service to host my mail. So I am not routing SMTP to an ISP. Do I have to relay the outgoing email even to the Internal SMTP server?

    Hmm I don't know. I am relaying to an Exchange 2010 box internally so I just added the connector info in exchange and set the ISP relay in the mail service in OS X Server. It works now for me.

    I looked in /Library/Server/Wiki/Config/notifications.plist and I have:

    I don't see anything wrong with that as long as the variable are defined correctly for "server" and "domain".

    This looks exactly like what I have. I did notice something in testing for the alerts. I was logged into the wiki at an IP address like 10.10.1.3 and not a domain name like wiki.domain.com. When I was logged in in this way it looks like the wiki server was using the IP in the from alert like "noreply@10.10.1.3" and not "noreply@wiki.domain.com". This caused the emails not to deliver to the recipients. Are you using an IP or a name when you log in? What about your users?

    Everyone uses a domain name. Still stumped here!
