Sure, then you simply set the mailServerHost to that url. Isn't that working?

Hi Geetha,

You need to add this on activiti-custom-context.xml file.

Hi,
Just to clarify. Post making the changes. Did you restart tomcat?. I have the same entry as you on the activiti-custom-context.xml file,
It works for me.

Hi Gopi,

Could you please explain What changes u did to get the Mail task working as its still taking the default localhost and port 25 for the mail task and giving the error. It would be of great help.

Thanks.

Hi,
i resolved the same problem by make the gmail account "less secure", infatc by default Gmail account is highly secured. When we use gmail smtp from non gmail tool, email is blocked. To test in our local environment, make your gmail account less secure as:

1) Login to Gmail.
2) Access the URL as https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
3) Select "Turn on"

Hello guys,
I have deployed the 5.19 version in linux centos 6 and using tomcat 7.0 as the application server with jdK 7.
To setup my e-mail server I changed 2 files activiti-custom-context.xml and engine.properties (see the attached9:
The issue is that when I am trying to run a simple example to send mail, I am getting this error in the tomcat server:

The error is quite clear: Caused by: com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. i17sm844475ywc.49 - gsmtp

You need to configure the email settings differently for gmail. There are posts here on the forum that detail how to do that.

Re: E-mail Configuration

kecondezo — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 18:45:30 GMT

Hi JBarrez,
I have followed all the instructions that I have read in this forum, even more I have decreased the security level of my gmail account as car82 said and setup the activiti-custom-context.xml accordingli. With this I have no error message but I have not any email in my inbox too. But when I change the engine.properties and enable the mail properties just at this moment I have the error message
This is what I have put in the activiti-custom-context.xml file:
<code>
<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.StandaloneInMemProcessEngineConfiguration">
….
<property name="mailServerHost" value="smtp.gmail.com" />
<property name="mailServerPort" value="587" />
<property name="mailServerUseSSL" value="false" />
<property name="mailServerUseTLS" value="true" />
<property name="mailServerDefaultFrom" value="mkgest@gmail.com" />
<property name="mailServerUsername" value="mkgest@gmail.com" />
<property name="mailServerPassword" value="xxxxxxxx" />
</bean>
</code>
this is what I added in the engine.properties file
<code>
# email properties
engine.email.enabled=true
engine.email.host=smtp.gmail.com
engine.email.port=587
</code>

Searching in google about STARTTLS issue, everybody talks about enable TLS parameter that I assume was enabled with the <property name="mailServerUseTLS" value="true" /> tag property in the activiti-custom-context.xml file.

I will appreciate your help!!!

Re: E-mail Configuration

kecondezo — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 22:42:09 GMT

Forget all this JBarrez, I found my real problem. It was enough to configure the activiti-custom-context.xml file with all the properties that there are in this post.
Due to I was editing the file using vi command in linux, I did not realize that the whole xml file was commented.
I remove the comment simbol and everything work fine.

Hi ,

Greetings !!

I am novice to activiti .

I am trying configure e-mail server for a sample email task.
with below mentioned properrties in "activiti-custom-context.xml" and "engine.properties" I cant even open activiti-explorer with url http://localhost:8080/activiti-explorer. with out "processEngineConfiguration" bean changes I can open activiti-explorer. Which confirms my "processEngineConfiguration" bean is some thing wrong.

Can any one help me out suggesting a correction or with addtional entries?

I have "processEngineConfiguration" bean in "activi-custom-context.xml" as follows:

bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration"
property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"
property name="mailServerHost" value="smtp.bimarian.com"
property name="mailServerPort" value="25"
property name="mailServerUsername" value="rxxxx@xxx.com"
property name="mailServerPassword" value="xxx"
property name="mailServerUseSSL" value="false"

and engine.properties as follows:

# demo data properties
create.demo.users=true
create.demo.definitions=true
create.demo.models=true
create.demo.reports=true

# engine properties
engine.schema.update=true
engine.activate.jobexecutor=false
engine.asyncexecutor.enabled=true
engine.asyncexecutor.activate=true
engine.history.level=full

# email properties
engine.email.enabled=true
engine.email.host=smtp.bimarian.com
engine.email.port=25
Please find attached XML files as TXT files for your reference.

Thank you in advance !!!
