Resending lost messages to Redmine¶

When Redmine goes down, emails sent to Redmine don't get automatically resent.

Messages sent to tickets@palantetech.coop are both redirected to tickets@maple.palantetech.coop, but also a copy is kept on the albizu server for 30 days. To resend messages that never made it to maple, one must connect to albizu.

Using Thunderbird (easiest):¶

Set up an IMAP account for tickets@palantetech.coop. SMTP/IMAP server is mail.mayfirst.org. Username is "tickets", password is either in creds, or reset it from the MFPL control panel.
You must have the Mail Redirect extension installed.
Select the messages you want to resend in the mailbox, click "Redirect", and enter the e-mail address of "tickets@maple.palantetech.coop".

Using mutt¶

mutt doesn't require any setup, but can only redirect one message at a time. In theory you could speed this along by making a macro in muttrc, but that's beyond what we need IMO.

ssh tickets@albizu.mayfirst.org
mutt
:set sort = reverse-date-received
1 #go to first message
b #for "bounce", aka redirect
tickets@maple.palantetech.coop
# alternatively, send to tickets-test@maple.palantetech.coop if need be
