inbound mail and Googlemail

[uwolf]

Hi there,
I now spent a couple of hours configuring the inbound mail option without success.
The trouble is, that I want to use googlemail as an outside mailserver.

I was able to configure the imap server an my alfresco system, using a local domain for localhost:

# Inbound Email Configuration
#————-
email.server.enabled=true
email.server.port=25
email.server.domain=shdproject.com
email.inbound.enabled=true
imap.server.enabled=true
imap.server.port=143
imap.server.host=0.0.0.0

I can see the mail alias which I have configured for the space.
But now the missing link: I want to send a mail to a googlemail account which is then relayed to the alfresco system or which is going to be picked up by the alfresco imap server.
What has to be configured? Are the RMI services involved, if yes, how? I´m somewhat helpless.
Thanks for helping!

What you need is a public domain name.   So Google mail knows the address of your server.

On alfresco you set email.server.domain to the public IP address above, to process the email.

On a typical install it will not be that simple since you won't want alfresco outside your firewall so you will put a proxy on your public IP address and pass SMTP through your firewall.    And set email.server.domain to an internal IP address.

And you may already have a public facing email server in which case you will need to make your email server relay email to alfresco.

Hi all


After configure below in alfresco-global properties

# Alfresco Email Service and Email Server
#————-
# Enable/Disable the inbound email service. The service could be used by processes other than
# the Email Server (e.g. direct RMI access) so this flag is independent of the Email Service.
#————-
email.inbound.enabled=true
# Email Server properties
#————-
email.server.enabled=true
email.server.port=25
email.server.domain=example.com
email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous
email.server.connections.max=3
# A comma separated list of email REGEX patterns of allowed senders.
# If there are any values in the list then all sender email addresses
# must match. For example:
# .*\@alfresco\.com, .*\@alfresco\.org
# Allow anyone:
#————-
email.server.allowed.senders=.*


i am not able to find the id of the folder so that i can make alias of the folder and upload the document in to that folder through mail…

Use alfresco explorer to find the I d.    However it's not terribly useful so use an email alias instead.
