Context

After the SMTP relay container is running (issue #2) and the App Password is set (issue #1), both XWiki instances need their mail preferences updated via the REST API.

Current state (confirmed via REST):

smtp_server = 127.0.0.1 (broken default — nothing listens inside the container)
smtp_port = null (defaults to 25)
admin_email = null
javamail_extra_props = null

Target settings for both instances

Property	Value
`smtp_server`	`smtp` (relay container name)
`smtp_port`	`25`
`admin_email`	`robert.allan.james@gmail.com`
`javamail_extra_props`	(leave blank — relay handles TLS/auth)

Update commands

Repeat for both instances (ports 8090 = .org, 8091 = .com):

for PORT in 8090 8091; do
  for PROP_VAL in 'smtp_server=smtp' 'smtp_port=25' 'admin_email=robert.allan.james@gmail.com'; do
    PROP=${PROP_VAL%%=*}
    VAL=${PROP_VAL#*=}
    curl -s -u rajames:March17# -X PUT \
      "http://localhost:${PORT}/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/XWiki/pages/XWikiPreferences/objects/XWiki.XWikiPreferences/0/properties/${PROP}" \
      -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' \
      -d "<property xmlns=\"http://www.xwiki.org\" name=\"${PROP}\"><value>${VAL}</value></property>"
    echo "${PORT}/${PROP} = ${VAL}"
  done
done
