Directly connect to the SMTPTLS port and build the protocol stream directly. It's mostly there for Windows installs where there is no system-wide MTA. - OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs

Yes. Every UNIX mail system emulates the Berkeley sendmail conventions for compatibility. - OTRS mailing list: otrs - Webpage: http://otrs.org/ Archive: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs To unsubscribe: http://lists.otrs.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/otrs
Re: [otrs] Outbound email queue
Verified. Instead of using SMTPTLS in sendmail settings page, I just used “sendmail”. This now works exactly as expected, which is: 1. All outgoing emails are sent to mail relay via postfix 2. All outgoing emails are logged in /var/log/mail.log 3. If mail relay is inoperable, emails queue via postfix It is still a mystery to me how the mails are being sent when SMTPTLS is in use. Either way, just using the system’s configured MTA is preferable.

[otrs] Outbound email queue
Hello, I am using OTRS with SMTPTLS to send all email to an outbound mail relay (postfix) and this is working perfectly. However, I am unable to locate where the logs are being stored. Also, if by some chance my outbound relay isn’t operating as expected, OTRS does not appear to be queueing the emails the way I would expect (like postfix does). What is OTRS using to send mail? Can I make it use postfix?
