It means that your mail server has rejected your attempt to send email.

Am I right that I have enough parameters for sending messages via an external server?


# Email configuration
mail.header=
mail.smtp.timeout=30000
mail.host=smtpmailhost
mail.port=25
mail.username=username
mail.password=userpass
mail.from.default=usermail@DOMAIN.com
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.smtp.auth=true
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Additional information. User, through whom I send mail (username), entered into the Alfresco database through LDAP synchronization.
And my authentication chain is "lfrescoNtlm1:alfrescoNtlm,ldap1:ldap-ad", sso is disabled.
Maybe I need to perform additional actions with the user "username"?

The problem cleared up.

The fact that Alfresco is authenticated at the SMTP-server using an account from repository.properties:

mail.username = username 
mail.password = userpass 
‍‍‍

And then tries to send an invitation from the mailbox of moderator, which prohibits the mail server.

Is there a way to reassign to send invitations from the mailbox "mail.from.default" instead of user's mailbox?

I found one way:
In the file tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow\invitation-nominated_processdefinition.xml change

mail.parameters.from = inviterPerson.properties["cm:email"];
‍‍

mail.parameters.from = username@DOMAIN.com
‍‍

This is the right way? Other ideas?
