Xcode Bots not sending email on success/failure

Question

I setup Xcode Bots, which is working successfully. However, despite setting email addresses to get notified when a build is successful or it fails, I do not receive any emails. Is there any additional SMTP setup I need to do hidden somewhere?

Answer 1

You probably need to configure the Mac OSX Server for sending e-mail.

The local server is located in the Server application under "Mail" in the left sidebar.

I recently changed to using Amazon SES and had to edit the Postfix SASL configuration manually. Edit SASL password file, run postmap, enable SASL/TLS in main.cf configuration file and finally restart Postfix.

This detailed description by Rojas helped me:

Answer 2

I recently was tasked with doing the same thing, setting up OSX Server for sending e-mail. What worked for me was setting up the postfix configuration manually as well but the link in the previous answer wasn't effective for me. what was effective was following this tutorial

and there's also a follow up that shows details to what needs to change to get it to work on Mavericks and newer http://blog.anupamsg.me/2013/12/22/enabling-postfix-on-osx-as-a-relay-revisited/
