Send a Mail from Alfresco

[xchris]

Hi!

I would like to dispatch a Mail within alfresco. I follow the ToDo of the “Alfresco Wiki”. Nevertheless I receive the following error.

I use a Alfresco 1.4.

For a good idea I am grateful.

Chris

Just desactivate your antivirus our firewall.
It blocks the port 25

Hi,

Are you sure that your user for the SMTP server is the same that the email address? Maybe you have one user that can access the SMTP server. This is our case. The only problem that we have is that the sender is always alfresco@alfresco.org

Good luck!

How to configure email server..

my smpt host is name mu.optimu.in, which file i need to modify.

[bnice]

I'm also struggling with the email-configuration. Can anyone please post, which file(s) have to be modified?
I configured /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-email-server.properties, after that Alfresco won't start.

The logfile says:

Hi there
I am a bit new to this but arcording to your log file it shows that alfresco is trying to use a port that is used by your email server on your local machine, try shutting down all ports normally by using the command "killall java" for unix until it says no process killed,
then try starting alfresco again.
