Configuring outbound email communication from CaseBrowser
Outbound configuration parameters can be defined in the /Workspaces/Patricia/Settings/settings.xml file as follows for non-authenticated outbound email servers (incl. relay servers):
<smtpConfig host="outbound.email.server" port="25" auth="false"/>
Similarly, outbound configuration in the /Workspaces/Patricia/Settings/settings.xml file is as follows for authenticated outbound email servers (incl. relay servers):
<smtpConfig host="outbound.email.server" port="25" auth="true" user="login" pass="password"/>
Note: To allow editing /Workspaces/Patricia/Settings/settings.xml you need to start up the nuxeo container and log into nuxeo console to access the file.
Also note: Using the postfix container as an outgoing relay for emails emerging from CaseBrowser (following corresponding configuration as a relay) makes sure that communication will be swift, using STARTTLS (where the receiving end supports TLS), and also has other advantages. In such case, the about server settings ("outbound.email.server" can simply be replaced by "postfix").
A rather technical documentation of the mail flow and some setup examples are given in this .pdf:
