SMTP Email Setup

eMedia can be configured to SMTP email internal and external users. This functionality is useful when sharing assets, sending notifications or providing links to login or reset passwords.

Create a file named "pluginoverrides10.xml" in the root path /media/emsites/yoursite/webapp/WEB-INF/

<beans>
    <bean id="postMail" class="org.entermediadb.email.PostMail">
        <property name="smtpUsername">
            <value>username</value>
        </property>
        <property name="smtpPassword">
            <value>yourpassword</value>
        </property>
        <property name="smtpServer">
            <value>smtp.yourserver.com</value>
        </property>
        <property name="port">
            <value>587</value>
        </property>
        <property name="smtpSecured">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="sslEnabled">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="enableTls">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="pageManager">
            <ref bean="pageManager" />
        </property>
        <property name="moduleManager">
           <ref bean="moduleManager" />
       </property>
    </bean>
</beans>

Once you are done configuring your email settings, restart the server.
