Hi,I am currently running Alfresco Community 4.2.c x64 on a Windows 2008 Ent R2 Server.So far I have got just about everything covered, however I am having problems with E-mail Notifications. I have setup my alfresco-global.properties‍ accordingly:### Outbound Email Configuration ###mail.host=X.X.X.

Hi,
Alfresco will not send any email notifications whenever a new user is created.

muralidharand, Why is this, because there is an e-mail template for new users.

When you invite a new user for a site , then the new user email template will be used.
http://localhost:8080/share/page/site/mysite/invite - Use invite to external user option.

If use http://localhost:8080/share/page/console/admin-console/users#state=panel%3Dcreate, then it will not send any email notification to the user and by default it is disabled. If you've source code, then look at , PersonSerivceImpl.java file.

Thank you for clarification on this and it has helped.

Just on another note, when I use the "Invite to external user option" is there anyway to change the system to use a "." instead of "_" in the username when setting it up??

yes. change the "name pattern" for the user name generator. You will need to do it through a spring over-ride of the nameBasedUserNameGenerator bean.
