Inbound Email Configuration

[amolchavan]

Hi,

I am using Alfresco Community v3.3 and I want to configure Inbound Emails in it.
Please do not send me link of Inbound Email configuration of Alfresco wiki because it is not updated one and it has information for the older version of Alfresco.

I did all the required changes in the alfresco.global.properties files for this but whenever I send email to inbox@alfreco.domain.com or inbox@alfresco.com it do no reach and gives sending failure mail back.

Here are the changes -

email.server.enabled=true
email.server.port=25
email.server.domain=alfresco.com   — can we have our company domain here?

email.inbound.enabled=true
email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous
email.server.allowed.senders=.*
#email.server.blocked.senders=
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Also I am curious to know -
1. Why inbound mail will have address as inbox@alfresco.com?
2. Can we do configuration to have address like inbox@mycompanydomain.com?

– atleast let me know how to get it working with alfresco.com or alfresco.domain.com then we can look into how to get it working with mycompanydomain.com

Please reply urgent, because I am searching for it for last 2 days but in vain.
I also tried 'EmailCollector' project and deployed amp but seems it works only with 3.1 or prior versions of alfresco. With 3.3 it gives exception - 'emailService' is undefined.

Thanks in advance,
Amol

Hello,

You can configure the email server domain to include your company's mail server. You can't use the alfresco.com because it's a different domain. You need to specify your own. In my case, i set up a mail server on my localhost to test my project. I'm using Alfresco 3.2r. I just followed the steps on http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Inbound_SMTP_Email_Server_Configuration and it's working fine.

You can also try this >> http://keytocontent.blogspot.com/2010/05/upload-files-to-alfresco-via-email.html


email.inbound.enabled=true
email.server.enabled=true
email.server.port=25
email.server.domain=companymailserver.com
email.server.allowed.senders=.*

I am also working on comunity edition 3.3g and made all the necessary settings in alfresco-global.properties for the email server (see below) but when i send an email from admin@mydomain.com to maria@mydomain.com in maria's thunderbird imap point inbox folder it appears as an email from admin[alfresco@demo.alfresco.org] to admin[admin@alfresco.org].

Are there any other changes/setting that must be made ??
