0x2a:

We have configured RT to send mail by using the command line program msmtp.

== Install msmtp ==

This will vary by your distribution. In Debian, you can just

apt-get install msmtp

== The configuration file ==

* chown this file to the user which runs RT (www-data in our case)
* chmod 600 this file
* Replace the asterisks with your real SMTP password.
* Place this file in your RT etc directory, such as /opt/rt3/etc/msmtp_wrapper.conf (for RT4 use /etc/request-tracker4/msmtp_wrapper.conf

<pre>
defaults
logfile /var/log/msmtp.log
account default
host mail.education.ucsb.edu
port 587
tls on
auth on
user help
password ****************
auto_from on
</pre>

== The executable file ==

* chmod +x this file
* chown this file to the user which runs RT (www-data in our case)
* Place this file in your RT etc directory, such as /opt/rt3/etc/msmtp_wrapper (for RT4 use /etc/request-tracker4/msmtp_wrapper , also change the config path below)

<pre>
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/msmtp -t -C /opt/rt3/etc/msmtp_wrapper.conf
/usr/bin/logger -t RTmailer -p syslog.info -- CALL /usr/bin/msmtp -nt "$@" RETURNED $?
</pre>

== Make RT use it ==

Edit this line in your [[RT SiteConfig|RT_SiteConfig]].pm:

Set($SendmailPath , "/opt/rt3/etc/msmtp_wrapper");
