hi there,

after reading and searching through wiki&forum, I have to ask the "crowd"…

1.) which is the correct file and path for a simple SMTP-outbound email configuration?
(starting from C:/alfresco/… on a standard installation)
–> following different instructions I changed different files, but without any effect.

2.) is there a file to be CREATED or CHANGED?

3.) how is the email-subsystem restarted to test the changes? or is there an other way, to test the settings?

thank you!

Hi Mathias,

Outbound SMTP is configured in $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties. Here's an example:

#

#————-
mail.host=smtp.example.com
mail.port=25
#mail.username=
#mail.password=
mail.encoding=UTF-8
mail.from.default=alfresco@alfresco.org
mail.smtp.auth=false
