Outbound email configuration

[nancygaillard]

Hi,

Can somebody help me to choose the good way to configure my outbound email on Alfresco?

* Alfresco 4.2.e installed on Windows 7 *

I succeed to connect with Outlook with this :
(I change my password and email address)
<blockquote>
Email address : [email protected]
imap/incoming mail server : imap.laposte.net
smtp/outcoming mail server : smtp.laposte.net
username : xnancyxgaillardx
password : /* SECURE VALUE */

IMAP :
port 143
type of encrypted connection false
this server use encrypted connection (SSL) : No

SMTP :
pot 25
type of encrypted connection  :TSL

Outgoing server :
(SMTP) requires authentication : Use same setting as my incoming mail server
</blockquote>

There is that I write in alfresco-global.properties
<blockcode>
### Outbound Email Configuration ###
mail.host=smtp.laposte.net
mail.port=25
[email protected]
mail.password=aNuSecurePassword
mail.protocol=smtp
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.encoding=UTF-8
[email protected]
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtps.auth=false

mail.testmessage.send=true
[email protected]

activities.feed.notifier.enabled=true
</blockcode>

Do you get any sort or error message from smtp.laposte.net?

I haven't see that my second comment doesn't appear… wait a minute…

if I try with :
<blockcode>
…
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
…
mail.smtp.auth=false
mail.smtps.auth=true
</blockcode>

I receive this error :
<blockquote>

I have tried several configuration, there is the results (with logs).

If I test with
<blockcode>
…
mail.protocol=smtp
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
…
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtps.auth=false
</blockcode>

I receive this error :
<blockquote>

For the "invalid sender" error you probably want to set
mail.from.enabled=false and mail.from.default to the same value as mail.username
