Email notification not working when implementing Folder rules

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Good day Folks,

Please, has anyone been able to implement Folder rules that sends out email notifications once a new content is added to a folder? If you have, what was the email configuration used? 

I am finding it difficult to sent up the email notification to work. This is my email configuration below:

# Alfresco Email Service and Email Server
#-------------

# Enable/Disable the inbound email service. The service could be used by processes other than
# the Email Server (e.g. direct RMI access) so this flag is independent of the Email Service.
#-------------
#email.inbound.enabled=true

# Email Server properties
#-------------
#email.server.enabled=true
#email.server.port=25
#email.server.domain=alfresco.com
#email.inbound.unknownUser=anonymous

# A comma separated list of email REGEX patterns of allowed senders.
# If there are any values in the list then all sender email addresses
# must match. For example:
# .*\@alfresco\.com, .*\@alfresco\.org
# Allow anyone:
#-------------
#email.server.allowed.senders=.*

I look forward to anyone assisting me.

Thanks

1. Configure you repository using the documentation Outbound SMTP Configuration Properties. Make sure it is work, for example with test message at startup.
2. Create a folder rule and chose the 'Send email' in the 'Perform Action'.
3. In the email form add you recipients group or user, subject and message. Message field support ftl format.
