How to force removal of email role

ordinary

I currently have no email hosted by Enhance. I have been experimenting and and although the role is now disabled I have a couple of sites with the email still assigned. I need to remove the role from those sites so it can be removed from the server completely.

I believe someone from the Enhance team helped me with a bash command to do this before but I can't track it down in my notes.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

Currently, if you have no email role anywhere on your cluster, websites cannot use PHP mail(). If the website is mapped to an email server, the website can use PHP mail().

From v11.0.0, if you prefer not to use the local MTA, you can run:

systemctl stop postfix
systemctl disable postfix

Else make sure the mtacd, impacd containers are stopped. That should be enough.

Rich Thanks for this info.

This isn't quite what I'm after... I have the role disabled on that server, but I actually want to remove it.

I can't do that because there's a couple of sites with that role assigned.

ordinary I'd speak with Adam then, raise a ticket and he can help you. If you find the answer out, post it back here for everyone else.

@Rich Found it!

If you don't have any email data, you can run the following on the control panel server:

docker exec -it orchd-postgres psql -U enhance
delete from website_email_servers;

Then uninstall the email role through the UI.

Backup thoroughly of course - this could clearly be destructive!
