KB-XXXX System alert e-mails appear as "Found The document has moved here"

Symptoms

System e-mails not generated by the Send Email node (e.g. alert and task e-mails) are received in the following format:

Found 
The document has moved here.

Cause

The web server is redirecting HTTP traffic on the port that the application server is using to retrieve the e-mail bodies.

Action

Perform one of the following:

  • In custom.properties, change the port configured in the conf.suite.MAIL_SERVER_AND_PORT property to the address and port where the application server can connect to the environment. If the application server cannot connect to the site URL defined in conf.suite.SERVER_AND_PORT, the typical value will be that of the server and port where the application server itself is listening.
  • Edit the web server settings to stop redirecting HTTP traffic on the port that is defined in the conf.suite.MAIL_SERVER_AND_PORT setting.
    • Note: Disabling the HTTP redirect may allow the environment to be accessed through HTTP. This may not be a suitable configuration for all environments and is not recommended for production systems.

For more information on configuring custom mail server properties, refer to the Mail Server Setup documentation.
