How to configure Email to the user

[riagarwal]

Hi,

I have seen that in most of the topics that there is an option to Notify the user by Emai. However that otpion is not working. even if I select Yes, notify..there is no email being send or delivered..

Please suggest as to what has to be done to implement the email.

Thanks,
Riagarwal

You can find this file at tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\repository.properties

For informaiton : another way to do this, is to create a file called custom-repository.properties
in your folder tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension
with this snippet of code

################################################################################
# Email configuration                                                          #
################################################################################
mail.host=<your host>
mail.port=25
mail.username=<your username>
mail.password=<your 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=alfresco@alfresco.org
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hi,

I did the same thing. i copied the code and pasted in the custom-repository.properties..

but i am not getting any emails what ever i do..

Please provide me with some more suggestion or steps to do it correctly..

i have done this and then restarted the alfresco server to ensure that the changes are implemented.. Then i made up an content rule that while adding a jpeg a email should be trigged to me. But nothing happens…

################################################################################
# Email configuration                                                          #
################################################################################
mail.host=<IP Address of the email exchnage>
mail.port=25
mail.username=my complete email address riagarwal@abc.com
mail.password=my machine Login Password and also tried with my Email Login 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= ????? What to do here.
mail.from.default=alfresco@alfresco.org
