Configure outbound email

[fromano]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure inbound email with the following settings:
email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous
email.inbound.enabled=true
email.server.enabled=true
email.host=smtp.gmail.com
email.server.port=587
email.server.domain=alfresco.com (also tried as "gmail.com)

However, my logs (excerpt below) show "Permission denied"  Can anyone teel me why???

2016-03-01 13:39:55,959 INFO  [org.alfresco.repo.management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] [localhost-startStop-1] Starting 'email' subsystem, ID: [email, outbound]

Are you running your Alfresco in a linux server?
If so, what is the user used?

On Linux, you can't use some ports when you start a process using a non root user.
I think this is the case because of the error message:

startStop-1] Startup of 'email' subsystem, ID: [email, inbound] failed
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.net.BindException: Permission denied‍‍

If that is the case, you have to options:
1, change the configured ports and use other ones
2, use iptables to redirect the used ports

The explanation for the "privileged ports" here http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/tasks/configuration-checklist-env.html

You can have an idea about how to use iptables by using this script https://github.com/loftuxab/alfresco-ubuntu-install/blob/master/scripts/iptables.sh

The title of your topic is confusing,  it says outbound and then asks a question about inbound.

Also email.server.domain should also be one of your IP addresses, not alfresco.com, or gmail.com either (unless you are alfresco or google.)

Sorry for the confusion - thinking of 2 things at once.

Thanks for the tip.  I have the email working now.
