SAC:Message Submission Agent

Message Submission Agent

With this Message Submission Agent (MSA) service, OSGeo provides the ability to send emails with the @osgeo.org domain for community members. Note that this is not a full email service with an inbox to manage and store messages.

Prerequisites

• Get an OSGeo ID.
• Open a ticket in the OSGeo Trac for an admin to grant this service to your user. Remember to assign to the SysAdmin component for faster routing.
  • An admin should create an alias for you to receive replies ( communicate a stable, working, email to forward to ).
  • An admin should add you to the shell management LDAP group

MUA set up

Configure your e-mail client (Mail User Agent) with new SMTP outgoing server with the following settings (using Thunderbird terminology):

• Server Name: lists.osgeo.org
• Port: 465
• User Name: Your OSGeo ID
• Authentication method: Normal password
• Connection security: SSL/TLS
