Our Wordpress Jumbox does not send any e-mails. I configured our Mailserver as the Smarthost in the Jumbox Admin Section and entered my Mailadress into wordpress and set the "Send me an e-mail when someone enters a comment". I also tested with the HGK Feedback Form to produce mails (http://www.ihagaki.com/wordpress/hgk-feedback-form-plugin/) that should be sent.
When Monitoring the Firewall between the Wordpress and the Mailserver there is no Connection attempt from the Wordpress Server.
My OTRS Jumpbox sends E-Mail on the same way without any problem and this one is in the same subnet as the Wordpress Server.
Where can I further look for the E-Mail Settings on the Wordpress Jumpbox?
Kind Regards,

Wordpress does not send E-Mails
We have a FAQ page for email on the JumpBoxes.
http://wiki.jumpbox.com/doc/runtime/faq/send_email
By default, every application bundled on a JumpBox is configured to use the local mail server (postfix) to deliver email and postfix is properly configured to deliver email. However, since you have an OTRS that is working in the same environment something does seem strange.
I would check the logs as shown in the above link to see if postfix is trying to deliver the email and perhaps it will tell you WHY it is not being delivered.
A few possibilities come to mind, did you need to do anything on your smarthost to accept email from the OTRS JumpBox? Second, are there in-WordPress settings that may have been changed so that it is no longer using the local postfix to deliver email. Or lastly, could that form plugin have its own email configuration that are not yet configured?
Basically, if you don't see attempts to deliver mail in the mail.log file then the app isnt trying to use the system postfix, thus won't use your configured smarthost.

Wordpress now sends E-Mails
Hi Austin,
following your Tipps I found the log file, telling me, that the Postfix wants to locally deliver the Mail. My Blog is http://pohle.de and the Mail Adress I had entered was in the same domain xxxx@pohle.de:
Feb 8 13:08:16 pohle postfix/local[24505]: D96C5CDD9: to=, relay=local, delay=0.22, delays=0.05/0.01/0/0.16, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "xxxx")
I changed now the target E-Mail Address in the Wordpress Admin to another Domain and immediately it works like a charm! Thank you for your great help!
