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.
- JAMES_GATEWAY_HOST and JAMES_GATEWAY_PORT
specify the relay server's FQDN and port to use respectively. The
JAMES_GATEWAY_HOST token specifies a mail server with
Internet access, separate from the TeamForge Application Server. Specify the
gateway host by its fully qualified domain name (FQDN), not a host name.
- JAMES_GATEWAY_USERNAME and
JAMES_GATEWAY_PASSWORD specify the relay server
credentials. These tokens are optional that should only be used if the relay
server requires SMTP authentication.
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:
-
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=
-
Save the site-options.conf file.
-
Provision services.
