Hello,

i try to make the email to work, so i can invite users when they become part of a group. I have set the repository.properties in C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco like this:

# Email configuration
mail.host=smtp.provider.nl
mail.port=25
mail.username=anonymous
mail.password=

After this i stopped and started alfresco again. But i get no email when i invite a user.  i have set the users mail adres to mine adress for testing.

Am i forgetting something here?

Thnx,

Johan

Hello Johan1974,

# Email configuration
mail.host=smtp.provider.nl
mail.port=25
mail.username=anonymous (Here, you must provide the user that can access the SMTP server, by example johan1974)
mail.password= (Here, you must provide the password for that user, by example mypassword)

If you use Outlook or another Email Client, use the same user and password that use on those apllications.

Bye
