Description
I just saw mails sent by /osgeo/tools/ldap/ldap_reset_user_password being refused by recipient's MX because the IP of old-web resolves to a DNS entry (base.osgeo.osuosl.org) which doesn't resolve back.
The initial mail, sent from python, arrives, because the python script is configured to use mail.osgeo.org as the MX.
I guess we want the shell script to ALSO use mail.osgeo.org as the MX

I've manually set relayhost = mail.osgeo.org in /etc/postfix/main.cf I don't know if it fixes the issue yet

Lance repointed 140.211.15.57 to map to secure.osgeo.osuosl.org and put in a reverse pointer back. I confirmed pinging by name resolves to .57 and reverse pinging by ip results back to secure.osgeo.osuosl.org
So I think this should fix this. I'm closing out feel free to reopen if there is still an issue.
Regina: I think we want to tweak the postfix configuration on the old-web machine to specify a resolvable name, or the use mail.osgeo.org as a relay host
