Setting up SMTP with 3.4

[mcollins323]

I am not seeing my notifications being sent out.

First, it seems like I have 2 files in play:
C:\Alfresco3.4\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\subsystems\email\OutboundSMTP\outboundSMTP.properties

and or

C:\Alfresco3.4\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco-global.properties

I entered the same in both files but I am still not seeing emails. 

Does Share use the same setting?   

Is there a test webscript I can run?

mail.host=111.111.111.11
mail.port=###
mail.username=xxx
mail.password=_xxx
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.from.default=xxx
mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.protocol=smtp

#use these properties to send test message during start of subsystem
mail.testmessage.send=false
[email protected]
mail.testmessage.subject=Outbound SMTP
mail.testmessage.text=The Outbound SMTP email subsystem is working.

Since I see an gmail address, I assume that is what you are trying to user.
Then you have an answer in this thread http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=36053
If it still doesn't work following advice there, then post the error log when you have set the send test message to true.

Thanks for your reply.

My mail server is my own and not gmail.  I am using port 587.  My Outlook uses the same settings and works fine.

The error I am getting in the error log is below:
08:42:05,214 User:admin ERROR [action.executer.MailActionExecuter] Failed to send email to [email protected]

I have the username and password,  It's like Alfresco did not autenticate yet.

If you look at my reply in that thread you can see some settings to change that applies to not just gmail. Try those and see if it helps.

Well,

I am moving over to use Google and I am authenticating ok but now getting the below.

If I use a wrong password it does give me an authintication error.  Do you need to do something on the Google settings?  I did select outgoing to use UTF-8.

So this looks like javamail not liking that value.  Does javamail want something else?
