E-Mail Works on Test, Invite, Recent Activity, but not on Rules?

[sicknick]

I am a bit stuck on this one. I have email set up on Alfresco, and I thought it was running good. I successfully receive the SMTP test message I have set up, I receive site invites, and I get a Recent activity log daily. I recently set up some rules on a few folders that would email a recipient when something is dropped into that folder. I realized it wasn't happening and I checked the logs.

This is what I see in my log when a email rule is executed:

11:59:01,409 ERROR [org.alfresco.repo.transaction.AlfrescoTransactionSupport] After completion (committed) listener exception:

My email configuration looks like this:

# Outbound Email Configuration
#————-
mail.host=mail.mydomain.com
mail.port=25
mail.username=Share
mail.password=mypassword
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.from.default=Share@mydomain.com
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.timeout=100000
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

My email server is Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I have it set up with relay. I am just confused as to what is so different about an email rule and every other email. It's strange that other emails don't give an error and go through.

hi,

how to send a mail when a document is opened by some one in alfresco share.

Thanks
Malleshwari.

The problem IIRC is working out who is the "recipient" of the email. It should be fixed in recent versions of Alfresco.   If you are running the latest version of Alfresco and still suffering from this then please make sure the issue is raised in JIRA.
