Outbound email configuration for Alfresco Community 201707

[anandhan]

Hi,

I have followed the below steps to send mail from alfresco to the end users:

Step 1: In alfresco.global.properities file added the below configuration:

### E-mail site invitation setting ###
notification.email.siteinvite=true

# Outbound Email Configuration

mail.host=mail.mycompanydomainname.com
mail.port=port number
mail.username=username
mail.password=password
mail.protocol=smtps
mail.smtp.timeout=30000
# New Properties
mail.smtps.starttls.enable=true
mail.smtps.auth=true

wcmqs.api.alfresco=http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco
wcmqs.api.user=admin
wcmqs.api.password=admin

Step 2: Restarted the alfresco server.

Step 3: Created new site and added the new user to that site.

After that I didn't get any invite mail from the alfresco site. Please help me on this if I made any mistake.

Can you add a testmessage config in Alfresco-global.properties:

mail.testmessage.send=true
mail.testmessage.to=Your Mail address
mail.testmessage.subject=AlfOutbound Mail System
mail.testmessage.text=Sendung Mails Workshop

then Alfresco will send the testmessage on Startup and you can See errors (if any) in the Logs easier.
