Mail task problem

[abdou]

Hi everybody. i'm new to Activiti world. i don't even know if my post must be here or elsewhere..

Anyway, i've just installed the 5.8 release and Activiti designer plugin in Eclipse. I created a mail task contained workflow xml file. I deployed it in Activiti Explorer. I've configured the activiti.cfg.xml file by adding mail parameters,  but i always get an "mail coudn't be sent" exception.. any help please?

My configuration setting goes like this :

James mail server startup :
———————
Using PHOENIX_HOME:   apache-james-2.3.2\james-2.3.2
Using PHOENIX_TMPDIR: apache-james-2.3.2\james-2.3.2\temp
Using JAVA_HOME:      Java\jdk1.6.0_23
Phoenix 4.2

James Mail Server 2.3.2
Remote Manager Service started plain:4555
POP3 Service started plain:110
SMTP Service started plain:25
NNTP Service started plain:119
FetchMail Disabled

=====
activiti-cfg.xml file :
—————
    property name="mailServerHost" value="localhost"
property name="mailServerPort" value="25"
   property name="mailServerDefaultFrom" value=""
property name="mailServerUsername" value=""
    property name="mailServerPassword" value=""
   property name="mailServerUseSSL" value="false"


and in process diagram Mail Task properties i am sending mail To : miss.piggy@localhost From mr.joshi@localhost

If i change "mailServerPort" to something than i need to change in James server also.

What should i do?
Thanks.

[trademak]

Are you sure port 25 is not blocked on your machine? Didn't you configure a username and password in James?

Best regards,

[madhusudanjoshi]

Are you talking about new account? Yes i ahve create two accounts as miss.piggy/piggy and mr.joshi/joshi.

I had tried providing "mr.joshi" as "mailServerUsername" value and "joshi" to "mailServerPassword" value, but still it did not work.

Port 25 is used by one more client Mozila Thunderbird.  So does it cause any problem.?

[frederikherema1]

Thunderbird doesn't use 25 on the local machine, rather it connects to SMTP-servers' 25-port. 'Connection refused' means that the connection is refused, simple… So make sure your james is up and running and listening on port 25. Try using plain telnet (or similar) to see if you can actually connect to the server.

[madhusudanjoshi]

I am able to send mail now. After changing the SMTP port number of Apache James mail server, it worked.

Thanks Tijs Rademakers and Fred for your support.

[madhusudanjoshi]

What is the significance of property "mailServerUsername" and "mailServerPassword" in th activiti-cfg.xml file? I am able to send mail form mr.joshi@localhost to miss.piggy@localhost with or without providing any values to these fields.

mr.joshi account is created in james mail server with a password.

Can you please make me clear on this. Thank you.

[frederikherema1]

If you're SMTP-server allows sending mail without forcing authentication, than those properties are irrelevant. This means your outgoing server is configured to accept any client IP/user to send mails…
