Sendmail & Email Sever Same Time?

[jager13579]

Is it possible to use the alfresco mail server and Sendmail at the same time? We want the ability to be able to email content to the repository so we want to turn on the Alfresco Email Server. However, it conflicts on port 25 with Sendmail but other things on our server need to use that. Is it possible to have both run at the same time or configure the Email Server to talk to the running instance of Sendmail?

Thanks for the help.

Sorry about that. The submit function wasn't seeming to work and I must have accidentally posted twice. I fixed that.

O.K.   As you have figured out you can't have both sendmail and alfresco listening on the same port so you need to decide which one to run on 25 and move the other one.      Its probably easiest to move alfresco by setting email.server.port to something other than 25.

You then need to make your email server relay to the port number you specify.

Thanks for the reply. We've been trying to figure out the relaying for a while today but are a bit confused after some researching on the internet. We set the alfresco email port to 587 and are trying to configure sendmail to relay messages sent to 25 to 587. We also set the mail server name to <company>.com. Would you be able to provide additional assistance or guidance? Thanks in advance.
