I wanted to use Gmail as SMTP.I did …conf.setMailServerHost("smtp.gmail.com");conf.setMailServerPort(587);conf.setMailServerUsername("myname@gmail.com");conf.setMailServerPassword("mypassword");‍‍‍‍But at first it did not work because Gmail requires TLS. So I added the following line in org.activiti

Matias,

Seems like a valid addition to email-task configuration. Can you create an issue for this in Jira http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT ?

Hi Matias,

I managed to make it works by setting the system properties on application startup using the following groovy codes:


["mail.smtp.auth":"true",
 "mail.smtp.socketFactory.port":"465",
 "mail.smtp.socketFactory.class":"javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory",
 "mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback":"false",
 "mail.smtp.starttls.required": "true"].each { k, v ->
     System.setProperty k, v
}

But I think your suggestion is good idea.

Chee Kin
