Outbound SMTP in email subsystem

In sample configuration for alfresco-global.properties there is a setting for mail.smpt.auth, this is never taken into account since in the fileWEB-INF\classes\alfresco\subsystem\email\OutboundSMTP\outboundSMTP-context.xml the key is define as mail.smtps.auth (note the additional s).This has already

Loftux,

Some remarks:

- mail.smtp.auth is the variable used by subetha mail program, just keep that in it.
- mail.smpts.auth is the secure smtp variant and concerns another item (relevant for gmail, for example)
- the subsystem email is not loading custom properties files…..indeed

So, my advice: do not change the context xml file (no need to).

However….you are still partly right, in the sense that the mail.smtp.auth is not used properly (it is indifferent between false/true). There is a bug, I presume.

Alfresco engineers, be more specific about the possibilities to create a subsytem override in "classes/alfresco/extension/subsystems" and make sure that this override is picked up!

Kind regards….

Since I had to do this now, I thought I could post the answer in case someone finds this thread when googling

I'm extending the MailActionExecuter to be able to send attachments and had to redeclare this bean in the very same file. (outboundSMTP.context.xml).

To make the subsystem pick up the spring-config it had to be placed in the following extension path: "/alfresco/extension/subsystems/email/OutboundSMTP/outbound/custom-outboundSMTP-context.xml" The file could have any name with the *-context.xml extension.
