Your email client does not know how to find your Alfresco server unless you use a hostname and domain name that will point to your it. Your network settings need to know how to route email to your Alfresco server.

In alfresco-global.properties you should substitute "alfresco.com" with the domain name you plan on using for your environment. alfresco.com is not correct because email sent to that domain will be routed to Alfresco Software (the owners of alfresco.com). It might be easiest to use the IP address of the box in both alfresco-global.properties and in the TO field of the email.

If this is not clear, you can get more background on domain names here: http://www.howstuffworks.com/dns.htm

If you want to test sending email to Alfresco, edit your email client to add a new SMTP service and configure it to point directly at the Alfresco server. You can then send emails directly to Alfresco.

Hi, this feature works great

but you need to set up a bit different:
email.server.enabled=true
email.server.port=25
email.server.domain=alfresco.com THIS IS WRONG, YOU PUT yourdomain.com
email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous

so email is idofspace@yourdomain.com.

but if you work in multitenant it does not work ( I did this feature like this idofspace_tenant@mydomain.com, for my company so if you need you can ask for it)
