In the repository.properties i have the following:

# Email configuration
mail.host = smtp.gmail.com
mail.port = 465
mail.transport.protocol = smtp
mail.username = username
mail.password= password
mail.smtp.auth = true
mail.smtp.socketFactory.port = 465
mail.smtp.socketFactory.class = javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback = false
mail.smtp.timeout = 25000
mail.smtp.starttls.enable = true

And in the core-services-context

<!–                      –>
   <!– MAIL SERVICE –>
   <!–                       –>

   
<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="protocol">                           
    <value>${mail.transport.protocol}</value>
  </property>
  <property name="username">
    <value>${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">${mail.smtp.auth}</prop>
      <prop key="mail.smtp.socketFactory.port">${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>

What can be the problem?

Thnx!

Hi,

What mail encoding are you using - I didn't see that in your list of config values?

E.g.

# Set this value to UTF-8 or similar for encoding of email messages as required
mail.encoding=UTF-8‍‍
