Mail not working migrating to new server
Tue, 2014-08-19 14:43 — cavan
After migrating Simon to a new mac mini running Mavericks, we are unable to send email alerts. We can send mail from Postfix itself, but Simon throws off an error:
Simon: No mail servers for domain "mycompany.com"
Any help would be appreciated!
Re: Mail not working migrating to new server
You're using a Sendmail transport? I don't know whether or not any configuration is needed for that. For the Apple Mail transport, you'd need to set up accounts in Apple Mail.
Re: Mail not working migrating to new server
I'm not at the point to test Simon's e-mail plug-in as I've still taking care of the underlying plumbing before I make a purchase and do so.
I did configure Postfix, which is supplied by Apple and is a fine MTA that accepts all sendmail commands, as a smtp relay to my Gmail account using the great guidance found at http://blog.anupamsg.me/2012/02/14/enabling-postfix-for-outbound-relay-v...
It worked as documented via the command line and now will have to do a little script that I can get Simon to use.
I'm going to this trouble because my Mac Mini running 10.8.5 is just a headless server and I try to keep the number of running apps on it to a minimum.

Sorry, your comment was held up for moderation, since it included a link.
I'm afraid I'm not really sufficiently familiar with sendmail to help diagnose issues with it. It's external to Simon. Can anyone else help?
I will actually probably remove Sendmail as a transport option in a future release, since it isn't supported by more modern mail frameworks. It may be possible to continue supporting it via a custom script, though.
