Email Inbound Config

[newmember]

I think I have the config setup properly, but here is my error:

The Alfresco wiki for this topic is reference to support 2.2 and 2.9.
I am using version 3.2r2
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Inbound_SMTP_Email_Server_Configuration
The wiki refers to using <ext-config>/alfresco/extension/custom-email-server.properties but I believe the intent is to use alfresco-global.properties


My config settings:

added user "fax"
added user "fax" to group EMAIL_CONTRIBUTORS
added alias "fax" to a space "fax"
Company Home > User Homes > fax

Send an email to "fax@alrescoserver.local

# Alfresco Email Service and Email Server

I just happened to notice that you've configured the email domain as "alfresco.com"

     email.server.domain=alfresco.com

but your email is sent to something else (like "alfrescoserver.local")?

     Send an email to "fax@alrescoserver.local

Maybe the problem is that these are inconsistent?

Yes you should be updating alfresco-global.properties.    I've just updated the wiki page.
