email site invitation

[ivan1982]

hi all,

i am trying to configure the email service for sites invitation, i modified the outbound section in alfresco-global.properties file as recommended on Alfresco One 4.2.1 Documentation but with no luck. from the admin console, when i test (Send Test Message)its working and i do receive the test email.

my question is:

- is there any specific config for the site invitation service i have to do, or it should be done automatically when configuring the outbound email?

below is modified settings in alfresco-global.properties file, if it will help:

# Outbound Email Configuration
#————-
mail.host=exchange ip address
mail.port=25
mail.username=myemail
mail.password=mypassword
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.from.default=alfresco@mycompany.com
mail.smtp.auth=false
notification.email.siteinvite=true

appreciate any suggestions.

Regards,
Ivan

It seems ok, let's check a pair of points:
1. Check Alfresco logs to search some Exception on this
2. Invited user has to be an Alfresco User with a valid email introduced on the profile

Good luck!

It seems launching Tomcat as service does not log on default folder.
