Wiki Mail Notification POSTFIX Errors

Question

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 serverPOSTFIX ENABLED? falseInitialized a new Notifications::PostmanSMTP configuration: (sendmail -- no config or local server)Processing pending notifications (C6C762F2-8B52-4F0F-A6F0-8B9BC90BBDDF-55476-0002C7BFBA94BE97)Found 0 pending notificationsNotifications queued for: []Finished processing pending notificationsWell, 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&#x27;t seem to find what is causing this problem.I can&#x27;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.

Morris Zwick · Answer

Nope. and I still have the problem....

Good news I found the solution. Basically you have to enable Mail and enter relay info for ISP (or internal as needed). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3451361?start&#x3D;0&amp;tstart&#x3D;0http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4332Hope 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&#x27;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:&lt;?xml version&#x3D;"1.0" encoding&#x3D;"UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt;&lt;plist version&#x3D;"1.0"&gt;&lt;dict&gt;        &lt;key&gt;enabled&lt;/key&gt;        &lt;true/&gt;        &lt;key&gt;contentServiceURL&lt;/key&gt;        &lt;string&gt;http://localhost:4444/svc&lt;/string&gt;        &lt;key&gt;smtp&lt;/key&gt;        &lt;dict&gt;                        &lt;key&gt;server&lt;/key&gt;                        &lt;string&gt;&lt;/string&gt;                        &lt;key&gt;domain&lt;/key&gt;                        &lt;string&gt;&lt;/string&gt;                        &lt;key&gt;start_tls&lt;/key&gt;                        &lt;true/&gt;                        &lt;key&gt;port&lt;/key&gt;                        &lt;integer&gt;25&lt;/integer&gt;                        &lt;key&gt;username&lt;/key&gt;                        &lt;string&gt;&lt;/string&gt;                        &lt;key&gt;passwordConfiguredInKeychain&lt;/key&gt;                        &lt;false/&gt;                        &lt;key&gt;password&lt;/key&gt;                        &lt;string&gt;&lt;/string&gt;                        &lt;key&gt;authentication&lt;/key&gt;                        &lt;dict&gt;                                &lt;key&gt;crammd5&lt;/key&gt;                                &lt;false/&gt;                                &lt;key&gt;login&lt;/key&gt;                                &lt;false/&gt;                                &lt;key&gt;plain&lt;/key&gt;                                &lt;false/&gt;                        &lt;/dict&gt;                        &lt;key&gt;sender&lt;/key&gt;                        &lt;string&gt;&lt;/string&gt;        &lt;/dict&gt;        &lt;key&gt;processInterval&lt;/key&gt;        &lt;integer&gt;600&lt;/integer&gt;&lt;/dict&gt;&lt;/plist&gt;I don&#x27;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?

Morris Zwick · Answer

Everyone uses a domain name. Still stumped here!
