I have also added the lines given below to /usr/local/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

# Should send emails as part of invitation process.
notification.email.siteinvite=true

Still the email service is not working.

That custom email context is obsolete and should not be used on 4.0. You should not be touching files below WEB-INF either.

Is your email server really on localhost?

Yes, the postfix (mail server ) is on the same server where the alfresco is running.
So do you want me to delete the Custome email context ?

Yes. So you are attempting to connect to localhost:25, unauthenticated, smtp protocol.

Also check that Alfresco's own email server has not bound to localhost.

Hi,

I have deleted the file "tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-email-context.xml"

< Also check that Alfresco's own email server has not bound to localhost >

Can you help me to check this. As i dont see any logs in catalina.out for mails sending by the alfresco.

Here , i am trying to set AWS-SES on alfresco so that this will send emails from alfresco via SES. Can you guid me to set this up.

Hi,

Now i have added the below line on to the [TomcatHome]/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties

mail.host=localhost
mail.port=25
mail.username=anonymous
mail.password=
### E-mail site invitation setting ###
notification.email.siteinvite=true

## test message when the subsystem starts ##
mail.testmessage.send=true
mail.testmessage.to=sreejithp@agileblaze.com
mail.testmessage.subject=Outbound SMTP
mail.testmessage.text=Outbound SMTP email subsystem is working

And found that mail has been received from the postfix server, but when i create a user from the alfresco console this doesnt send any email notification to the user's email id?

Please let me know if i have to change any parameters mentioned above .

Thanks Sreejith

What "alfresco console"?

Creating a user will not send an email. Inviting a new user will.

Ok. Tested and found that the mails been send from the postfix installed on the local machine. : ) thanks

Now i want is to know how will i be able to configure the alfresco so that i can send mails directly from the aws -ses . ( Without using the postfix installed on the localmachine )
