there is a file named repository.properties in a directory named alfresco here that lists email config options. The recommended thing to do though is not to change this file, but to copy the block that pertains to email and create a new file in the extension folder which is in:
<JBOSS_HOME>/server/default/conf
there should also be an alfresco directory here. Create a file with a common sense name like email.properties or along that lines.
I have tried this, but it doesn't alway work. I might be missing a step.
I tried this to no avail. Is there a place in the logs I can look to see whether the mail host I specify is being picked up? It's trying to send but with localhost so I'm guessing it's not picking it up…
The alfresco.log file will have some info. Unfortunately java apps create really messy logs that are hard to wade through. My logs show that the emails are trying to be sent from localhost instead of the email server i entered. Are you getting the same?
it seems that alfresco cannot connect to secured servers. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to install a local mta, like exim4 or postfix. Thats another adventure though…
