Your email server (mail.mydomain.com) is probably not allowing mail to be sent from a different account although its not reported that error clearly.

So its a permissions thing on your email server - not alfresco.

a) you should probably connect with a real account for username/password. Connecting as "none-reply" is bonkers!
b) you may need to set mail.from.enabled = false on alfresco if you can't change the config of mail.mydomain.com

Hi mrogers,

Thanks for your reply to a fresh guy with Alfresco Community like me All my above email credentials are existing and accessible. I think the main questions here are:

- why Alfresco Community can send the test message but can't send the invitation message to the same account?
- What side raised "Permission deny" error - Alfresco Community or my email server?

Please help.
