Is the Site Invitation Email Sender Configurable?

[cpaul]

Hi all,

I've successfully configured my Alfresco install to send emails via my SMTP server (Amazon AWS SMTPS) however I'm seeing an exception when Alfresco attempts to send out a Site Invitation Email:

554 Message rejected: Email address is not verified.‍

In the Alfresco 4.0 documentation, it says site invitations are sent using the invites@alfresco.com address, which I cannot verify through my Amazon AWS server for obvious reasons. It appears that this site invitation email does not honor the "mail.from.default" setting in alfresco-global.properties… is this true?

Does anyone know how to configure the email address used for site invitations?

Thanks in advance!

To answer your question - yes the email is configurable.     Either through property over-rides or spring over-ride.   If needed you can plug in your own implementation.

I've not seen that text in the documentation before,  but it seems incomplete to me.  In particular why should your instance of alfresco be sending out anything from alfresco.com, that may be a default value somewhere but it is not correct.

I think you may be misunderstanding what mail.from.default does,  it is the address used when there's nothing else available.   That's not always what's wanted especially if there's a very strict email server on the other end so there's an option in 4.0.1 to force the email system to use the the default address, and never use anything else.   You could pick that up from HEAD and patch it if that's what you need.

Thanks for the reply, Mike.

Is there a simple way to change the email address Alfresco uses for this specific instance (the site invitation email)?
