No email functionality

There's probably an error recorded in your alfresco.log find it.

Then its likely to either be gmail security (perhaps requiring you to log on via the web first) or another error.

I cant see an error in your java script.

Thank you for reviewing the script. At least I know the problem isn't there.

Checked the alfresco log as per your recommendation. The email function in Alfresco is continuing to attempt to send every email it has been presented with in the past week.

Log excerpt is below (I already corrected the double .com entry in my admin email address, which only applied to my profile, so that's not the problem). The problem seems to be with authentication. I tried a Gmail account, which requires authentication, AND my employer's hosted email service, which does not require authentication, to be enabled and BOTH scenarios yielded the same errors.

You need to turn off authentication if it is not needed, that's probably the root cause of the exception you have posted above. You haven't said which settings go with the error message.

I'm using the settings below (taken from the wiki). According to everything I've found Gmail requires authentication.

GMAIL

Gmail (gmail.com) requires the use of SMTPS

This example shows how to configure two additional java mail properties directly to: <TOMCAT_HOME>/classes/alfresco-global.properties:

# Sample Gmail settings
mail.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.port=465
mail.username=user@gmail.com
mail.password=password
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtps.auth=true

Also, if I telnet into my host on port 25, the response states all is well
