Outbound smtp autentication error

[simotogno]

Hi all!
I'm new in this form. I have a couple of question about alfresco configuration and customization.
I'm usig alfresco CE 3.4d
The fist is related on the title of this topic.


I whant set up the outbound  e-mail server
heare are the parameter for server connection that I've set in the alfresco-global.properties

mail.host=smtp.gemmespa.it
mail.port=25
mail.transport.protocol=smtp
mail.username=username
mail.password=password
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.encoding=UTF-8
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and this is the outboundSMTP-context.xml
  

<bean id="mailService" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
        <property name="host">
            <value>${mail.host}</value>
        </property>
        <property name="port">
            <value>${mail.port}</value>
        </property>
      <property name="protocol">
         <value>${mail.protocol}</value>
      </property>
        <property name="username">
         <value>${mail.username}</value>
      </property>
      <property name="password">
         <value>${mail.password}</value>
      </property>
        <property name="defaultEncoding">
            <value>${mail.encoding}</value>
        </property>
      <property name="javaMailProperties">
         <props>
            <prop key="mail.smtps.auth">${mail.smtps.auth}</prop>
            <prop key="mail.smtps.starttls.enable">${mail.smtps.starttls.enable}</prop>
         </props>
      </property>

It would seem not! Are your username and password really "username" and "password"?

[simotogno]

No, there aren't. In the cunfiguration file i have the right username and password.
I'have tested the parameter with other program and it works well.
Can be another error that return the same message?
Thanks.
Simone

No one?

configuring smtp nowadays seems to be complex. will give it another try and simplify the process for other community members.

Got it for 4.0 community version; in alfresco-global.properties

### E-mail site invitation setting ###
notification.email.siteinvite=true

### SMTP Configuration ###

mail.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.port=465
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.username=yourname@gmail.com
mail.password=yourpassword
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtps.auth=true

this will send the email invitation.
