Never succeed in Email sending out

# Alfresco Email Service and Email Server

I searched the internet, it's said that the email can be configured thru [admin console] - [email configuration], but in CE 4.2.e I can't find any menus related to email configuration in [admin console]

Anybody please help on it??  Thanks a lot!

Hi you log shows
<bold> Caused by: javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException </bold>
please check for authentication
also please make sure the mail (SMTP) service is working on the alfresco server
thanks

Thanks for response!

SMTP server is not working on alfresco server. It's a public SMTP server located somewhere. (Actually you can ping it: smtp.163.com)
We can send email thru a Java-written program with the same settings.

Thanks!

I had similar problems and ended up setting further properties in alfresco-global.properties as below.

# Additional Java Mail properties for SMTP protocol
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.debug=false
mail.smtp.timeout=30000
mail.smtp.starttls.enable=false

# Additional Java Mail properties for SMTPS protocol
mail.smtps.auth=false
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=false
