Outbound email configuration for registration add-on

chrisapos3 — Mon, 23 May 2016 15:18:56 GMT

Hello everyone,I have added a registration form to the login page of my project but to make it work i need to configure my Outbound email as I informed. I'm not very experienced about that so i searched for help. I have read some guides but seems like it didn't really work. Any help?

When you say it didn't seem like it worked, what do you mean? What error messages are you seeing? What steps have you followed so far?

I have attached a printscreen of the error that i m getting when i try to register a user.
I'm running this site in local computer (i don't know if that matters or not)

Look in your $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/catalina.out for more details about why there is an error.

Also, because you are using gmail, you may want to set mail.from.default with a default from address (like do_not_reply@your.server.name.com) and mail.from.enabled=false to force Alfresco to send the mail as the default address. I have seen Google reject or quarantine email sent from Alfresco when it is sent using the user's email because it won't match the actual sender.
