It's not the mail-task that's causing this issue, this just uses the commons-email to send mail. You should find an open smtp-server to use.

Maybe workaround for using google: http://lifehacker.com/#!111166/how-to-use-gmail-as-your-smtp-server

Google acceots mail from anywhere, you just need to take into account two things
- the connection is secured ssl/starttls, so that needs to be supported by the mailtask
- you need to authenticate to the server. This needs to be supported to

The latter is supported, te former not from what I read, so it stil could be the mail-task.

Hi Ivan Hajdinjak,

I managed to send mail using gmail/google apps account previously using the mail task, you need to set some system properties prior to used it. Please see http://code.google.com/p/grails-activiti-plugin/wiki/VacationRequestSampleApplication#Email_notification

Hope this help.

Best regards,

HI
This fix might help: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1350

you just need to set mailServerUserSSL to true.
