Basile’s Musings

So from 7:00 this morning until 9:15 I’ve been working on making our content management systems properly relay through our mail server, mail.ddl.dyc.edu, so that everything will conform with our DNS’s MX record. Actually I did moodle two days ago, it was trivial to reconfigure since we’re using postfix. One line in the configuration file did it. But, bb6 runs the Blackboard 6 suite. I tried switching from sendmail to postfix, but Blackboard crapware wouldn’t play nice. Rather then figure out how to make it work, I just switched back to sendmail, set up mail.ddl.dyc.edu as its smarthost, and rebuilt the sendmail.cf file. All is good. I’m wondering if I have to do the same for project.dyc.edu, since the blogs might also email … it can’t hurt so as soon as I’m finished with this entry, I’m back to work.
