sending mail with alfresco

[stecip]

I've a problem

I had set up a Gmail account that I wanted to use to with an Alfresco installation:

I modify the repository.properties file with the follow code:

# Email configuration
mail.host = smtp.gmail.com
mail.port = 465
mail.transport.protocol = smtp
mail.username = someuser@gmail.com
mail.password= asecretpassword
mail.smtp.auth = true
mail.smtp.socketFactory.port = 465
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class = javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback = false
mail.smtp.timeout = 25000
mail.smtp.starttls.enable = true


and the core-services-context.xml with the follow code:

<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>${mail.transport.protocol}</value>
  </property>
  <property name="username">
    <value>${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.smtp.auth">${mail.smtp.auth}</prop>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.port">${mail.smtp.socketFactory.port}</prop>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.class">${mail.smtp.socketFactory.class}</prop>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback">${mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback}</prop>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.timeout">${mail.smtp.timeout}</prop>
    </props>
  </property>
</bean>

but when i try to invite a user Alfresco freezes for a long time….
can someone help me please…..!!!

Did you check the log file for a message a la  "cannot reach the server / send mail" ? Probably, you are not allowed by your firewall or by gmail to send mail this way
