dotch — Mon, 07 May 2018 17:27:47 GMT

Bonjour à tous ! depuis un moment j'ai essayer de configurer l'envoie d'email sur Alfresco 5.2.1 mais toujours impossible de transmettre le mail au destinataire. Le log indique l'erreur suivante : Couldn't connect to host, port: smtp.gmail.com, 465; timeout -1;notification.email.siteinvite=truevoici

Hi Augustedotch DAH ,

If in case your are using gmail,yahoo you need to use the SMTPS instead of SMTP.
Refer https://community.alfresco.com/docs/DOC-4799-outbound-e-mail-configuration

Hi, thanks for the answer and sorry for the delay.

you right. And i just try to use this configuration but the result is an error again.

this is my new config:

### Configuration email sortant Alfresco.

### the 465 port gives me the same error message so i use the 25 port.

mail.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.port=25
mail.username=monmail@gmail.com
mail.password=monpwd
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.from.enabled=false
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtps.auth=true

The log shows this error:

nested exception is:
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unrecognized SSL message, plaintext connection?; message exceptions (1) areFailed message 1: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 25;:

Hi Augustedotch DAH ,


The port you have mentioned is wrong there mail.port=465 instead of mail.port=25.

if you are using zimbra client then you need to use port 25.

# 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


changed alfresco-global.properties file like this.
Go through official documentation properly Outbound E-mail Configuration.
