cannot change mailsender

[cmlgzlc]

Hello,
We have alfresco running on Debian, tomcat5.5, mysql. Testing the system I tried to configure the mail sending and create a rule. OK, we got the mail, but sender is: munwar@cignex.com . I could not find the file to configure the sender.

Thank you in advance..
Another question: Does the system now act like an smtp server?

Hi All,

In my custom-repository.properties:

dir.root=d:\alf_data
# Email configuration

mail.host=mail.unionbankph.com
mail.port=25
mail.username=anonymous
mail.password=

In my web-client-config-custom.xml:

   <!– Example of overriding the from email address –>
   <config>
      <client>
         <from-email-address>etzapata@unionbankph.com</from-email-address>
         <search-max-results>100</search-max-results>
      </client>
   </config>

The emails are sent but the From is etzapata@unionbankph.com. When the recipient receives the email, I want the From to appear as Alfresco Admin NOT etzapata@unionbankph.com. If I replace the etzapata@unionbankph.com into Alfresco Admin in the web-client-config-custom.xml, the email will not send at all.
Do I need to configure other files?
Thank you very much for any inputs.

Hello everyone,

I found the reason for the error - it was because of the whitespace in the <from-email-address>Alfresco Admin</from-email-address>. I just change it to Alfresco_Admin and it went fine.

Thank you very much everyone.

Dear,

Systeminfo:
-alfresco 2.0.1 / on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 Beta (Tikanga) / jbossas-4.0.4-0.2.rhx

I still try to change the default from email adres setting.
I moved the file : /etc/jbossas/all/alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml.sample to /etc/jbossas/all/alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml
and changed : /etc/jbossas/all/alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml

<!– Example of overriding the from email address –>
   <!–
   <config>
      <client>
         <from-email-address>piet@klaas.com</from-email-address>
         <search-max-results>100</search-max-results>
      </client>
   </config>

After that i restarted jbosass.
But the from email is still alfresco@alfresco.com

I also tried to change the file  : /etc/jbossas/all/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties
and added the mail.from.default = whatever from mail address value setting.
After that i restarted jbosass.

But still no result.

Any idea ?

Why doesn't alfresco use the email adres of user who sends the mail? This is a setting which can be altered from alfresco itself.

Thanks,

Got the same problem Geert…. only I am deploying in Tomcat on FreeBSD, but the behaviour is exaclty the same….

In my case it appears that the custom property files aren't used at all….

Right, thanks..

But it's still strange. There are people with positive results.
