Relay Emails through SMTP gateway with authentication

You can set up TeamForge to relay emails through an SMTP gateway (such as Amazon AES) that uses authentication. By default, James sends emails directly. However, you may prefer relaying emails through an enterprise relay server. Configuring the following James tokens let you do that.

Important: By default, TeamForge uses the user's email address (as registred in TeamForge user profile) as the sender address ("From"). Therefore, it is important that the mail relay does not impose any restrictions on the email sender address and accepts all emails to be relayed.

To relay emails through SMTP gateway:

  1. Set the following site-options.conf tokens.
    • vi /opt/collabnet/teamforge/etc/site-options.conf
    JAMES_GATEWAY_HOST=
    JAMES_GATEWAY_PORT=
    JAMES_GATEWAY_USERNAME=
    JAMES_GATEWAY_PASSWORD=
  2. Save the site-options.conf file.
  3. Provision services.
    • /opt/collabnet/teamforge/bin/teamforge provision
