How to set up Email ( Sending )

[seastorm]

Hi

Im trying to set up the mailserver currently.
I've edited C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco
repository.properties

mail.host=w2k3ex1
mail.port=25
mail.username=user
mail.password=userpw
# 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=Test
mail.from.default=alfresco@company.de‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and in
core-services-context.xml  -> username and pwd in the mail part

but its still not running.

w2k3ex1 is our exchange server where I have added the alf IP to be allowed to relay ( but it uses an extra user anyways )

the strange thing about it, is that I dont get any errormessages at all.
Are there any additional files I do have to edit? and are there any Logs for this? (./tomcat/logs/ doesnt show any logs related to email stuff )

have you seen this?

you should only override some property inside the shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties without touching any xml file.

restore your xml file as alfresco default and don't set the header property to "TEST" that doesn't make sense.
