What version of alfresco are you using ?

Have you configured outbound emails?
Alfresco Administrator can configure this from Admin Console -> Email (Outbound) option.

I have the same issue:

Alfresco Server: CentOS 6.3, 64bit, Alfresco Community 4.2.e.

First, I don't see the Email Option in Admin Console.
So I modified the alfresco-global.properties file directly.

Below are the details:

[Alfresco Server]
CentOS 6.3, 64bit, Alfresco Community 4.2.e

[Email settings] in alfresco-global.properties:
### E-mail site invitation setting ###
notification.email.siteinvite=true

#imap.server.enabled=true
#imap.server.port=993
#imap.server.host=imap.gmail.com

#
# Outbound Email Configuration
#————-
mail.host=smtp.163.com
mail.port=25
mail.username=xxxxxxx@163.com
mail.password=**********
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.from.default=xxxxxxx@163.com
mail.smtp.auth=true

#
# Alfresco Email Service and Email Server
#————-
# Enable/Disable the inbound email service. The service could be used by processes other than
# the Email Server (e.g. direct RMI access) so this flag is independent of the Email Service.
#————-
#email.inbound.enabled=true

# Email Server properties
#————-
#email.server.enabled=true
#email.server.port=25
#email.server.domain=fandasoft.com
#email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous

[Error Log]
2013-12-25 23:19:32,269 ERROR [action.executer.MailActionExecuter] [http-apr-8182-exec-3] Failed to send email to xxxxx@xxxxxx.com

I can send out the Email using the same configuration in a Java-written program.

Anybody please help on it?? Thanks a lot!

I had similar problems and ended up setting further properties in alfresco-global.properties as below.


# Additional Java Mail properties for SMTP protocol
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.debug=false
mail.smtp.timeout=30000
mail.smtp.starttls.enable=false

# Additional Java Mail properties for SMTPS protocol
mail.smtps.auth=false
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=false

They might work for you.
