Hi,

Does anyone have any advice? 😞

I've deployed an Alfresco 3.3g CE build and am having the same issues with configuring the email settings to enable the invite feature.

I have also tried setting this up using the gmail settings and cannot get this to work either.

I have have checked my error logs and am coming up with various errors:

GMAIL:

10:26:07,887 ERROR [org.alfresco.repo.action.executer.MailActionExecuter] Failed to send email to me@mydomain.com

Hi.
There is a property that I found on this forum but not in the wiki and is "email.server.allowed.senders":


email.server.allowed.senders=.*\@mycompany\.com
‍‍‍

I configured it and my setup works.
Hope this can help you too.

Hi Marco,

Thank you for your response.

This doesn't seem to work. I've reverted back to the exchange server configuration, but receive the following relay error now! 😞

Invalid Addresses;
nested exception is:
com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPAddressFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for myemail@gmail.com

I'm guessing this would normally be an issue with the exhange server not relaying messages for certain IP addresses. However I have set the Exchange server to allow authenticated relay messages from the Alfresco server.

Any other ideas?

Regards

Karl.

Ok.

I finally figured this out! Looks like it was a combintation of factors contributing to the invites not being sent.

a) relaying on the Exchange 2003 server was all set up correctly to allow the Alfresco servers' IP address to relay. However the ISA 2004 server protecting the Exchange server was set to forward SMTP requests as coming from itself rather than the original client IP address. hence the Exchange server could not correctly filter any client IPs correctly as all requests seem to come from the internal (local) IP address fo the ISA 2004 server!

b) Our Cloud ISP was blocking port 25 for all VPS instances!!

Phew.
