Hello,

which user are you logging in as when you invite users to groups? If you use the default "admin" user, please be aware that the personal address of that user is set as "admin@alfresco.com" by default and used as the "from" header since it is that user that explcitly performed an action. You should always change the email address of the "admin" user after an Alfresco installation.

Axel

And which version of alfresco.

On recent version you can set mail.from.enabled to false to send all email from abc@123 if that's what you want

Perfect! Both answers are what I was looking for.

I do have sort of a follow-up question. It seems that all users in site X received the 'Alfresco Share: Recent Activities' email, is there any way disable this email notification - I know about the 'notifications' setting in profile, but if I disable that, does that also disable invite notifications?

Hello,

have a look inside your Data Dictionary => Email Templates => Activities folder of your Alfresco Repository. There you'll find the email templates for Recent Activities and can modify them for something more to your liking.

Okok, thanks for that.

1 last Q, the email field for 'admin' is disabled in gui, how do you change the email? All other accounts are editable on that field, just not admin

Hello,

which UI and page are you using for this? When I'm logged in as "admin" in the Share UI and try to edit my user profile ( /share/page/user/admin/profile), the email field is active and can be modified.

I'm on http://FQDN:8080/share/page/user/admin/profile hit 'edit profile' and email field is grayed out. I'm on Alf 4.2b also.

Also in regards to the activity feed, the data dictionary site you pointed me to is to modify the template, but really I want t control the on/off functionality of this. From what I have tested, the only way really is to disable the 'notifications', but how does one do that on a global level by default?

*EDIT*
Would this be what I'm looking to change?
activities.feed.notifier.enabled=true located in > activities-jobs.properties

If so that's 1 resolve.

You can disable notifications globally via the ActivitiesFeed subsystem and its properties. Set "activities.feed.notifier.enabled" to false (e.g. in alfresco-global.properties) and there are no more Recent Activities for anyone in your Alfresco…

A related question (it *is* an email header :-). Is it possible to set the Reply-To to be the currently logged in user? i.e., we want a default sender (an admin email account. We're using gmail, thousands of ldap users) to send the email. But if people click on Reply to the email, we'd like the reply to go to the inviter (not to the default sender email account).

Is that possible already with configuration? If custom code is needed, around where would I start looking?

Other background: we're sending via gmail and gmail changes the From address to the user who authenticates to gmail (default admin email user) instead of the inviter.

Many Thanks,

Gerald Quimpo
