Thank you mrrogers

I built my own action based in the MailActionExecuter (I took it from http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/repository/source/java/org/alfresco/repo/action/executer/MailActionExecuter.java), and I just remove the validation against Person and Groups in the Alfresco Repository. After that I configured my bean MailCustomActionExecuter in the action-services-context.xml.

Now I'm able to send email to external addresses

My next goal is attach files sending emails. If I get it, then I write a post about it.
