Hi…
I need answer for the same problem…
Can you kindly reply if you had found the solution……

[efestione]

Yes, you can create a rule in the "discussions" folder of the site using Alfresco Explorer (or via Share if you have enabled the repository browser)…

hope it helps
Ale

Hi…
Thanks for the immediate reply…
I am using alfresco 3.3g…..
As you said I tried to create a rule in the "discussions" folder of the site using Alfresco Explorer as follows:

In explorer:
Company Home –> Sites –> SampleSite (My site name)–> discussions–>
More Actions —> Manage Content Rules –> Create Rule –>
Create Rule Wizard:
Step One - Select Conditions
Select Condition: All iems
Added to list
Step Two - Select Actions
1.    Select Action : Send email
2.      Click to set values and add to list (selected users and added to list.. given a subject for email.. notify template: notify_user_email.ftl)

Summary:
Rule Type:   inbound
Name:   checking
Description:   
Apply rule to sub spaces:   Yes
Run rule in background:   No
Disable rule:   No
Conditions:   All Items
Actions:   Send email to 'sowmya'


But still I am not able to send mails to the site members after updating discussions…. why it is so??

[sowmya]

Already I had invited people by sending emails..so I think my outbound email configurations are correct…
Is my rule creating procedures are correct… or did I had done anything wrong…

I found an error, that is, when I tried to add a discussion in forum, it displays Unable to save
If I delete the rules and add a content in forum, I am not getting such error… I think, I need to do some more email configurations.

Currently I had Configured Outbound Email in alfresco-global.properties:
mail.host= {our host address}
mail.port=25
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.from.default= xxx@org.local
mail.username= {username of an email id}
mail.password= {password}
mail.smtp.auth=true
I had done only this….Do i need to do some more configurations? If so kindly reply….

Tomcat error log after adding a post: {only occurs after creating the rules}

Hi…
At last I found solution for the above problem. Thanks to the forum members..
Using explore I had created a group manually and added all the users under it. Setted the group as the mail recipient. Now I can able to have email notification for each updates.. 

But not possible when setting user as the recipient.
