Property Description Enabled Use check box to enable or disable the inbound email service. This is disabled by default. Unknown User This is the user name to authenticate as when the sender address isn’t recognized, for example anonymous. Allowed Senders To allow senders, enter 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. Overwrite Duplicates By default, duplicate messages added to a folder will overwrite each other. Deselect this check box to keep duplicate messages and apply a unique number. The default setting is Yes. Maximum Server Connections This provides the maximum number of connections allowed in order to control the performance of the system. To prioritize the email subsystem higher, increase this number. The default setting is 3. SMTP Authentication Enabled Use this check box to enable or disable the authentication of inbound email against the repository, for example No. Email Server Port This is the default port number for the email server, for example 25. Email Server Domain This is the default domain for the email server, for example alfresco.com. Blocked Senders To block senders, enter a comma-separated list of email REGEX patterns, for example: .*\@hotmail\.com, .*\@googlemail\.com. If the sender email address matches a listed value, then the message will be rejected. Email Authentication Group This is the name of the group in which users must be a member to add content to the repository by email. The default group is EMAIL_CONTRIBUTORS. Transport Layer Security (TLS) This enables the TLS protocol, which upgrades a plain text connection to an encrypted TLS or SSL connection instead of using a separate port for encrypted communication. Select the TLS support setting: - Disabled: TLS support is disabled
- Hidden: On the EHLO command, server support for TLS is hidden, though TLS will still be accepted if the client uses it
- Enabled: On the EHLO command, server support for TLS is announced
- Required: TLS authentication is required
