We are still tweaking Alfresco to fit our needs and I was wondering where the e-mail configuration in the repository.properties file is used for. We didn't configure anything for our e-mail settings till now and Alfresco does send a mail when a rule on a space triggers it. So… why are these settings needed, are we missing something?
I guess your server machine must have an mail sender running on it? If you didn't have one, you'd need to change these settings to point to your mail server.
Don't know about the mail sender but it seems to work so that's perfect. Just needed to know if this configuration was used for anything else but I can leave it like this. Thanks Kevin!
