Configuration of Yahoo SMTP for notification

[midoscofield]

Hello all,

I tested this configuration to run a yahoo account as notification address but it did not work

<li> I modified the file <strong> web-client-config.xml </strong> located under <strong>  Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco</strong> 

 <from-email-address>test.alfresco@yahoo.fr</from-email-address> ‍

</li>
<li>Then I added these lines of code in the file <strong>alfresco-global.properties</strong> located under<strong>Alfresco-tomcat/shared/classes</strong> <blockcode>

mail.host=smtp.mail.yahoo.fr
mail.port=465
mail.username=test.alfresco@yahoo.fr
mail.password=*MyPassword*
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtps.auth=true



</blockcode> </li>

is it correct?

looks o.k. except for the from address which should be definied in alfresco-global properties.   But it should work.

Last time I looked (a long time ago) you had to pay for yahoo SMTP access since it was one of their premium features.  Do you have a paid account?

Thanks for reply,

Not for the moment I do not have a paid account,so I should buy one ?

Tested on my account which is a paid yahoo "plus" email account. 

Yahoo does not like the from field to be different from the account so you need to set mail.from.enabled=false.    You can see an error in alfresco.log if it complains.

You also don't need to send the test message on startup.   But I did that to verify that it was working.

These settings worked for me.   obviously my account is my email address with the *@yahoo.com,  and my password is my password!

mail.testmessage.to=*my account*
mail.testmessage.send=true
mail.from.enabled=false
mail.from.default=*my account*
mail.host=smtp.mail.yahoo.com
mail.port=465
mail.username=*my account*
mail.password=*my password*
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtps.auth=true

Hello,

  We have recently migrated from 3.4 to 4.0 and 3.4 gave you a direct download link that you could post and folks could use to get the content without having to click around a preview page.  It seems that 4.0 only provides the preview page link.  Is there any easy way to get the direct download link without having the copy the link under the "Download" button?

Thanks.
