So what I found in the WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/core-services-context.xml was something like this:
<bean id="mailService" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
<property name="host">
<value>${mail.host}</value>
</property>
<property name="port">
<value>${mail.port}</value>
</property>
<property name="username">
<value>${mail.username}</value>
</property>
<property name="password">
<value>${mail.password}</value>
</property>
<property name="defaultEncoding">
<value>${mail.encoding}</value>
</property>
But I couldn't send mail invites, the log told me that it was getting an exception, asking me to turn on authentication. But I thought i did.
What I found on a site about Spring and that pesky JavaMailSenderImpl class is that it likes params like this:
<bean id="mailSender"
class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
<property name="host" value="${mail.smtp.host}" />
<property name="port" value="${mail.smtp.port}" />
<property name="protocol" value="${mail.transport.protocol}" />
<property name="username" value="${mail.smtp.username}" />
<property name="password" value="${mail.smtp.password}" />
<property name="javaMailProperties">
<props>
<prop key="mail.smtp.auth">${mail.smtp.auth}</prop>
<prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.port">${mail.smtp.socketFactory.port}</prop>
<prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.class">${mail.smtp.socketFactory.class}</prop>
<prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback">${mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback}</prop>
<prop key="mail.smtp.timeout">${mail.smtp.timeout}</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
So… I modified my core-services-context.xml file to add that in just like I saw:
<bean id="mailService" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
<property name="host">
<value>${mail.host}</value>
</property>
<property name="port">
<value>${mail.port}</value>
</property>
<property name="username">
<value>${mail.username}</value>
</property>
<property name="password">
<value>${mail.password}</value>
</property>
<property name="defaultEncoding">
<value>${mail.encoding}</value>
</property>
<property name="javaMailProperties">
<props>
<prop key="mail.smtp.auth">${mail.smtp.auth}</prop>
<prop key="mail.smtp.timeout">${mail.smtp.timeout}</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
(I only created two of the fields as I am not using SSL - but include those if you want)
Then I went into repository.properties and added those fields (the most important is mail.smtp.auth=true) right after the other mail key-value pairs. Then I rebooted, and finally… it worked.
