using alfresco as an smtp mail server

ulli

I want to use Alfresco as a normal mailserver. Alfresco is able to receive mails for a e-mail-address if its user belongs to the EMAIL_CONTRIBUTORS group.

But I want Alfresco to receive e-mails independent from which e-mail-address the mail was send. Is there any way to disable the check if the sender belongs to the EMAIL_CONTRIBUTORS group?

If you use an authenticated SMTP connection then there's no need for EMAIL_CONTRIBUTORS.

Otherwise you will have to map the email.inbound.unknownUser to EMAIL_CONTRIBUTORS.

Alfresco will never be a "normal" email server, that is not its intention or purpose.

Thank you for your quick response, maybe I am not familiar enough with Alfresco right now.
My intention is to use Alfresco to archivate my E-Mails, my Idea was to send a copy of each Mail I want to archivate to the alfresco SMTP-Server. Is there maybe a other way to use Alfresco to archivate my e-mails?

Alfresco can be used for this purpose, but it won't be as fast as a dedicated mail server. It does a lot of useful things with the content in addition to storing it, such as attaching metadata, executing rules, running workflows, and search indexing.

In most cases, people would only send a subset of their emails to Alfresco for which they need these additional capabilities. But if it is properly configured for performance, it could handle all the email for a moderately sized organization.

But if you only need to store email, it is probably better to use something designed for that purpose.
