Gmail Alfresco Community 3.2

[pjcaracuel]

Hi,

I tried configured Alfresco to send mail using gmail

1.- In file alfresco-global.properties I put:

mail.host = smtp.gmail.com
mail.port = 465
mail.transport.protocol = smtp
mail.username = pedro.jimenez.caracuel@gmail.com
mail.password= xxxxxxxx
mail.smtp.auth = true
mail.smtp.socketFactory.port = 465
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class = javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback = false
mail.smtp.timeout = 25000
mail.smtp.starttls.enable = true
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In core-services-context.xml

<bean id="mailService" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
  <property name="host">
    <value>${mail.host}</value>
  </property>
  <property name="port">
    <value>${mail.port}</value>
  </property>                                           
  <property name="protocol">                           
    <value>${mail.transport.protocol}</value>
  </property>
  <property name="username">
    <value>${mail.username}</value>
  </property>
  <property name="password">
    <value>${mail.password}</value>
  </property>
  <property name="defaultEncoding">
    <value>${mail.encoding}</value>
  </property>

  <property name="javaMailProperties">
    <props>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.auth">${mail.smtp.auth}</prop>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.port">${mail.smtp.socketFactory.port}</prop>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.class">${mail.smtp.socketFactory.class}</prop>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback">${mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback}</prop>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.timeout">${mail.smtp.timeout}</prop>
    </props>
  </property>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I see the wiki post: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/E-mail_Configuration

But I get the following error message:

09:55:26,373 ERROR [org.alfresco.web.bean.TemplateMailHelperBean] Failed to send email to pjcaracuel@intecna.es org.springframework.mail.MailSendException: Mail server connection failed; nested exception is javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com, port: 465;

Any idea??

THKS

Are you by an chance running behind a firewall?

If this command doesn't work, then it's unlikely to work with Alfresco

ping smtp.gmail.com‍

[pjcaracuel]

It doesn't work, what a pity!!!

[dward]

Well surely whatever network you are in has a server that is capable of acting as an SMTP server? How are your mail clients configured?

[savic_prvoslav]

Gmail works great!!!

[ssaravanan]

That doesn't seems to work.
At the moment, Alfresco has such a lot of functionality, like,
1. Imap integration
2. SMTP configuration options
3. LDAP , AD, NTLM, Kerberos authentications
4. Records management
5. Multi tenancy
6. Share , Surf
7. CMIS
8. Lotus notes integration, etc
Most of the Alfresco developers spend most of their time
in figuring out the right configuration settings.
It would be ideal if we have a GUI approach for configuring things , like this
http://www.thinsy.com/c/alfresco (for Active Directory configuration)

…or like JMX perhaps?
