Email Config (For live Domain)

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

So I have read the docs and many of the various posts covering this topic… and they have all helped.

The Initial Problem: I need to get Alfresco to Send Email Invites, and I do not want to use gmail.

So I setup my CENTOS 6 Minimal x64 Server
Running Apache2 / MySQL - Drupal Site
Packaged Alfresco 4.2d installation

<blockcode>
### I have my hostname setup under my domain:

user@oasisinitiative$ hostname
user@oasisinitiative$ oasisinitiative.net


### Sendmail is running and sending mail on port 25
### I have tested this both by:

user@oasisinitiative$ mail -v my.email@me.com
user@oasisinitiative$ Subject: Test
user@oasisinitiative$ Test message
user@oasisinitiative$ .
</blockcode>

Which sends a message from user@oasisinitiative.net successfully



This is a clean install with the following changes to my alfreso-global.properties file:

### E-mail site invitation setting ###
notification.email.siteinvite=true

### Email settings
mail.host=127.0.0.1
mail.port=25
mail.username=user
mail.password=password
#mail.protocol=smtps
#mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
#mail.smtps.auth=true
mail.from.default=no-reply@oasisinitiative.net

### Test Mail Settings
mail.testmessage.send=true
mail.testmessage.to=my.email@me.com
mail.testmessage.subject=Outbound SMTP
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I receive the test messages send to addressed like user@gmail.com, user@icloud.com, etc

But I am not receiving messages sent under my own domain: someone@oasisinitiative.net

My theory is that the server believes that it is oasisinitiative.net and therefor routes the messages locally… but my mail server is hosted on Office 365.

I have even tried using the address listed in the Office 365 MX records…

oasisinitiative-net.mail.eo.outlook.com
oasisinitiative-net.mail.protection.outlook.com

Any Ideas on how to get my invitations to send to my oasisinitiative.net addresses?

As it turns out this was not an Alfresco Issue at all, but rather a linux sendmail issue.  Editing the Sendmail configuration by adding domain forwarding for my domain is the answer.
