Hi all!

I use Alfresco 2.1 Community Edition and I tried to test sending emails from Alfresco.

I realized, the email notification works fine, when I invite users to join my space. But selecting Email Space users action, it doesn't work…except both subject and body contains only 1 special character like dot, comma, slash,…etc.

Is that an issue?

Hi feat,
That is much more than i have. Could you tell me, please how have you configured the email?

[feat]

Hi,
In

…\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\repository.properties

there is a section for email configuration

# Email configuration
mail.host=…
mail.port=25
mail.username=…
mail.password=…
# Set this value to UTF-8 or similar for encoding of email messages as required
mail.encoding=UTF-8
# Set this value to 7bit or similar for Asian encoding of email headers as required
mail.header=
mail.from.default=…

Here you can configure email properties.
Configure, restart, test…Hope this helps.

Thanks feat,

I have already configured this section but ..nothing.

I've read somewhere that repository does not support secure SMTP servers.
Do you know something about?

[feat]

Don't know, accordingly I am asking Alfresco developers, as you can see in my first post in this topic  :?

Maybe SMTP reconfiguration needed? Help pls!

I had the same (or similar) problem. It turned out that the sender of invitations was admin. I went to manage system users, entered a proper email (one with domain that is acceptable to the smtp server I had setup), and now it's all good!

It helped for me to turn on mail debug and observed the log. To do that, I added the prop mail.debug and set it to true on the bean mailService in core-services-context.xml.
