Have you tried to change in you alfresco-global.properties following line?


mail.from.default=customer@customer-web.com

Hi Cheffilet!

I've ran into some problems with e-mail invitations. I've managed to get it working with my gmail acount. But I'd like to use my department's own mailing system (porfix+policyd).

Let alfresco@mydept.tld be the dedicated alfresco outbound account, while the inviting user's mail is user@somedomain.com and the invited user has invitee@otherdomain.com.

The outbound testmail arrives from alfresco@mydept.tld, and it seems like it is working.
However when I try to send invitation with user (user@somedomain.com) it fails.
I'll cite the postfix logs, but the same can be found in alfresco logs also:

postfix/smtpd[21859]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from alfresco.mydept.tld[x.x.x.x]: 553 5.7.1 <user@somedomain.com>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user alfresco@mydept.tld; from=<user@somedomain.com> to=<invitee@otherdomain.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<alfresco>

So it seems like Alfresco tries to send with alfresco@mydept.tld account authentication with user@somedomain.com as sender. Which is rejected as alfresco@mydept.tld account should not send in the name of other accounts. (strict anti-spam rule but I won't change it).

setting is:

mail.from.default=alfresco@mydept.tld‍

I would like to set this account to be the sender of all invitation e-mails. Perhaps daniela had similar problems.
I think Alfresco should not try to send in the name of other accounts. It has its own to do this.

Notice:
The source code of invitation emails from gmail do not show any sign of altered sender field, but I suppose the gmail SMTP server changes the whole header of the mail and replaces the from field to that of the authenticating user's, while accepting all type of senders after successful smtp auth. A few years ago I had some problems from this behaviour.
