Problem with OutboundSMTP Configuration

[jack_chuong]

Hi all,
I'm using Alfresco 4.2 Community, install by laugh installer /opt/alfresco-4.2.c . My server : Centos 6.4 64 bit.
I read article at : http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/concepts/email-outboundsmtp-props.html
This is my OutboundSMTP Configuration in alfresco-global.properties

### SMTP Exchange
mail.host=192.168.2.3
mail.port=4444
mail.username=anonymous
mail.password=
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.header=
mail.smtp.auth=false
mail.smtp.timeout=30000
notification.email.siteinvite=true
mail.smtp.debug=false
mail.smtps.auth=false
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=false
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Our mail server is Exchange 2013 (192.168.2.3), I created a receive connector listen on port 4444 and will accept any messages from my Centos Server IP.
When I tried to send invitations for users, nothing happens, I didn't see any error on browser, but user didn't receive email.

What log should I view ? Tell me if you need more information.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure that old thread is much help.

Have you configred your exchange server to accept unauthenticated requests?

And there should be error messages in your alfresco.log file telling you what is wrong.   Please post.

Hi mrogers,
Other running services in my environment can route message throught post 4444 on Exchange server successfully.
By the way, I changed setting :

### SMTP Exchange
mail.host=192.168.2.3
mail.port=587
mail.username=myuser@mydomain.com
mail.password=*************
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.header=
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.smtp.timeout=30000
notification.email.siteinvite=true
mail.smtp.debug=true
mail.smtps.auth=true
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

It's still not work.
When I sent a test message it shows : "Failed to run Actions due to error: null"
Should I add options : mail.testmessage.send , mail.testmessage.to , mail.testmessage.subject , mail.testmessage.text ?
These are some entries in catalina.out :

INFO: Process with id='readContactProcess' hasn't the attribute isExecutable set. Please maintain it, so you are compatible to future activiti versions.

Hi,

Instead of to ensure your Exchange accept unauthenticated users, don't forget to restart the server after make changes in alfresco-global.properties file.

Thanks,
