JumpBox for MediaWiki Discussion

Does anyone know how to change the SMTP address to send mail to my mail server rather than the no8tech.com or where-ever it's sending now?

Thanks!

SMTP Relaying from a JumpBox

Submitted by godber on Wed, 09/05/2007 - 10:47am.

The main question you probably want answered is: "How can I relay mail from my JumpBox to my networks SMTP server?" In the future we will likely integrate this functionality into our admin interface.

For the time being, it requires that you have a registered JumpBox and shell access is enabled. The simplest scenario would be that your ISP provides an SMTP relay host named smtp.isp.com that you must relay through because they block outbound email traffic. You would then just have to ssh into your JumpBox and edit the postfix main.cf file and then restart postfix like this:

sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf
# change the line that says "relayhost =" to "relayhost = smtp.isp.com"
# save and exit
sudo postfix reload

Now email will be relayed through that host. That hostname should be provided by your ISP or whoever runs your network. More advanced configurations will require work on your part and the place to start would be the Postfix documentation.

This really needs to be a FAQ.

Good luck and let me know if you need any additional clarification.

Hi Colin,
What version of the MediaWiki JumpBox do you have and where do you see reference to no8tech.com? I can help straighten this out for you.

Update Oh, I know you have been talking to someone else so no8tech.com doesn't show up anywhere in your JumpBox.
