Outbound mail sender is always admin@alfresco.com

[wolfgang_freund]

Hi there,

i do have a content rule, that sends an email, when a new item enters a space. The email is sent, but the sender is always admin@alfresco.com, whatever configurations i make. (already changed the settings in alfresco-global.properties)

I use alfresco community 3.4 and installed the complete package under ubuntu. I already searched for the string admin@alfresco.com in all files:

So there is no more admin@alfreso.com in a configuratiion file. But sender still is the same, even after restart of the server.

Anybody can help?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers

The setting in alfresco-global.properties is only used for initial creation of the admin user object.

To change admins email afterwards, you have to….

- Login to Explorer as "admin"
- From Administration Console, choose "Manage System Users"
- Search for user "admin"
- From actions, select "Modify" and change admin's email adress.

(This is also the path to change admin's password)
