Inbound SMTP Email Server seems to be not starting

[effect]

I'm using this properties for setting up the server

email.inbound.enabled=true
email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous
email.server.enabled=true
email.server.port=25
email.server.domain=myalfresco.com
email.server.connections.max = 3
email.server.allowed.senders=.*‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

but i don't see any activity on the 25 port when using netstat (and no emails are recieved).
I've added aliasable aspect for my email folder programmaticaly:

final Map<QName, Serializable> props = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>(1);
props.put(EmailServerModel.PROP_ALIAS, "inbox");
NodeRef nodeRef = new NodeRef(StoreRef.STORE_REF_WORKSPACE_SPACESSTORE, id); // id of my folder
nodeService.addAspect(nodeRef, EmailServerModel.ASPECT_ALIASABLE, props);‍‍‍‍

I've already added the 25 port and java.exe to windows firewall though it's disabled. What am I missing?
p.s. forgot the log: http://pastebin.com/WJpJgCcy
I can see i have messages
org.alfresco.service.cmr.dictionary.InvalidAspectException: 03030000 The aspect is invalid: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}aliasable
this is an issue but i can't relate it to why the server is not available at all

Are there any messages in your alfresco.log file?  In particular related to the email subsystems?

And does "myalfresco.com" resolve correctly?

just added the log to my first post
thank you for the reply

I can't see how that code corresponds to the error message.   In particular the error message is for the cm namespace.

I suggest as an experiment you set the email alias through the Alfresco Explorer UI rather than by code.

I agree, i don't see a direct connection neither. But should the smtp server be running even if i woudn't set any email aliases?

I had that thought, but i'm new to alfresco and it seems that the Alfresco Explorer is turned off in our project. At least and haven't found the way to get to it yet. I know i should use something like localhost/alfresco, but there's only a client from the project on localhost. Could you, please, tell me how can i get to the AE?

I've found the reason why the smtp server didn't start. Turns out i needed to look at bootstrap config

<bean id="InboundSMTP" class="org.alfresco.repo.management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory" parent="abstractPropertyBackedBean">
    ….
    <property name="autoStart">
        <value>false</value>
    </property>
</bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍

It did work after that

Hello!

UPDATE/2013-5-27/13:52:
Now i find the config file; the parameter (autoStart) is on true - but the SMTP did not start?

UPDATE/2013-5-27/14:10
It seams so it is a problem with my FW or the FW of my Provider!

UPDATE/2013-5-27/15:44
OK now i know what happens - Ubuntu use AppArmor and blocked per default the Port 25. I shutdown AppArmor with the Option: AppAmore teardown to unload all Profiles; but it it doesn't work???
No E-Mail in Folder:

1.) I have a Special User for incoming E-Mail
2.) The User is in the EMAIL_CONTRIBUTORS Group
3.) I mark the Inbox-Folder with a E-Mail Aspect and Alias emailin
4.) I think my config is OK:

### Inbound E-Mail ###
email.inbound.unknownUser=emailin
email.inbound.enabled=true
email.server.enabled=true
email.server.port=25
email.server.domain=trusdebt.de
email.server.allowed.senders=.*

I am helpless?

I fix all my issues!!!

1st - be care your Linux Distribution has not install a other SMTP Server like postfix 😉

2ed - If you use a gmail.com account you get trouble with STARTTLS; you must configure your Alfresco Inbound Option like: email.server.hideTLS=true - then you get your mails from gmail.com 

3rd - Give a INBOX-Folder as admin user the group right: everyone

in my Alfresco Installation i found nothing of SMTP bootstrap config file. It seams so the SMTP Server dont start. If i made a nmap scan, i can't find a port 25???
