SMTP sending test email but not invites

[aj_eosensa]

hey alfresco community!

im trying to set up the smtp server i have added the required lines to alfresco-global.properties for smtp and i am successfully receiving the smtp subsystem test email with no issues from the appropriate account. i have enabled notification.email.siteinvite=true    and i am still not able to invite any users whether pre made or "outside" users. no emails are being received by any members

help! ive been scratching my head at this for a while now

thanks!

Hi

Can you give us your log file while you try to send the invite to see if there is a problem there?

[aj_eosensa]

Where abouts can I find the log?

Also I Am running on os x

[aj_eosensa]

back in the office troubleshooting this, are you talking about the log within the application manager?

aswell it is not failing it is saying that it was sent successfully

[aj_eosensa]

Failed message 1:com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to send as this sender‍‍

that is the error i am getting, our email is through outlook.com

any idea on how i can rectify the issue?

Hi,
i have the same problem, as i mentioned today in post http://forums.alfresco.com/de/node/53701
What i recognized when your smtp server configuration mail adress is the same as the mail adress for your admin account the site invitation works, but only if the admin invites to a site. All other users are not able to invite.
Also the admin is then able to assign workflows or define a rule for a folder to send emails.
But all that only works when admin invites, assigns or uploads content to a folder.
I'm searching for months for a solution. but couldn't find one.
So for me it seems, the user who wants to perform an email action must have a matching email adress to that in global-properties.
Never seen such a crab.
I have set up many systems i.e perforce, jira with exactly one emailadress for smtp outbound mail and any user actions are sent via this account.
I meanwhile fear, alfresco isn't able to do this.

Anyone may correct me if i'm wrong. But i couldn't find any solution in any forum or interne site.

Sounds like your server is validating the from address.  You probably want to set mail.from.enabled=false

Thanks for the answer, but mail.from.enabled is actually set to <strong>false</strong>
