Hi Mark,

I have the py script working fine in my Odoo V8 (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).

The steps that I remember I had to follow were:

1. Send the "openerp_mailgate.py" file to "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openerp/addons/mail/static/scripts/" folder.

2. Check if the py script file is already with the correct ownership: "chown odoo: openerp_mailgate.py"

3. Check if the file mode is the correct one: "chmod 755 openerp_mailgate.py"

4. Inside the openerp_mailgate.py file:

OPENERP_DEFAULT_USER_ID = 1

OPENERP_DEFAULT_PASSWORD = 'the password for user admin'

OPENERP_HOSTNAME = 'localhost'

OPENERP_PORT = 8069

OPENERP_DEFAULT_DATABASE = 'the odoo database that you are configuring'

MAIL_ERROR = 'I put the email address of your email server admin'

MAIL_SERVER = 'localhost'

MAIL_SERVER_PORT = 25

MAIL_ADMINS = ('I put the email address of my email server admin',)

5. In the aliases file:

xyz: "| /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openerp/addons/mail/static/scripts/openerp_mailgate.py"

6. In the virtual_aliases file in /etc/postfix:

@myFQDN xyz@localhost

7. Finally "postmap /etc/postfix/virtual_aliases" and reload postfix.
